Audible gasps were heard all around the room. The tension sparked like small jolts of electricity as they gaped at their boss in a very different light.
Lawrence had his eyes widening like an owl's. Everything made sense now, his aversion to be touched, his need to hide his identity, the scars on his face.
Kail was surprised as well but he kept a stoic face. His boss had always been extremely considerate and humane with him. He didn't care what his past profession had been, he cared for the kind of human being he was.
Gairo had a slight clue about his history because of Montague and since he was the one who hired him but he didn't know what Zyair had just dropped on them like a bomb.
Others had similar thoughts racing through their minds, they were shell-shocked as they gaped at him with their mouths hanging open, but no one moved.
