Chapter 89: The Meeting

After lunch, we had half an hour to rest before the meeting. To avoid overcrowding, just one member of each pack was allowed to the meeting. I walked into the conference room with Anthony and we sat in the front facing the rows of chairs, which quickly filled with the representatives of each pack. I was nervously reviewing the case files while Anthony sat there looking all confident and almighty.

Soon, it was time for the meeting. I put the files away and straightened up. Each pack representative began exposing their experience with the group of organized rogues. I could feel Caleb's eyes on me, but I did not dare meet his gaze. I am too nervous for that. I don't consider myself shy once I begin talking, but the anticipation makes me so anxious that I could throw up.

Anthony put a hand on my shoulder and gave me a severe look. He mind-linked me. 'What do you call a person in a tree with a briefcase?'

I gave him a confused look. 'What?' 'A branch manager.'
