Chapter 236. Impulse and Consideration

When Lex came out of Bassena's office that evening, he was greeted by Zein walking down the hallway with a folder in hand.

"Is he inside?" the guide, as usual, always went straight to the point. 

"Yeah," 

Lex replied while blinking. People usually just asked the person they wanted to meet in person through the commlink, especially when they were close enough. But Zein rarely did that, since he never had commlink before. He just came and went back if the person wasn't available. 

"Thanks," Zein said briefly before going inside, looking calm and nonchalant, but with a slightly more swiftness than usual. 

Watching the guide disappear behind the closed door, Lex hummed as he continued walking toward the elevator. "Might as well have a coffee break," he muttered while looking at the time indicator on his commlink. "Maybe dinner?"
