Calling For Help

Ewan was nonplussed. 

For a second, he thought Gianna was pranking him. 

Beside him was Sandro. They had been working on the company's reports, noting ways to improve the stocks, and how to make the conference become a trigger for the growth of their company. 

"What is the matter?" Sandro asked, dropping the pen in his hand on the large file before him, as he noticed Ewan's pale face. "What happened to Athena?" 

On the other side of the phone, Gianna was impatient. As were her other companions.

"What's the matter? Is he not saying anything?" Aiden queried, eyes flashing with intolerance.

Gianna shrugged her shoulders. She didn't understand Ewan's silence either.

Kathleen huffed, tired of waiting, and collected the phone from Gianna.

"Hello…Mr Ewan…" 

Ewan was stomped for the second time in a row. 

This was the voice of the hacker; the hacker he had spoken to when his company had been in crises.
