The Ends And The Means

When Jenny had been summoned to her mother's home office, she'd been wary. Not the kind she'd had with Jasmine, where you had to be alert for any hidden attacks. No. This one was a heavier kind.

Why? Because her mother had power. Power to decide the fate of her children. Which was why she'd taken a deep breath and composed herself before knocking.

"Sit." Her mother said the moment she entered and Jenny sat stiffly in the chair, her eyes fixed on the woman who was studying her from across the table. Jenny didn't know what her mother had called her for but judging from the indecipherable expression on her face, it was something serious. Something that had to do with Apex.

After a few minutes, Jenny grew tired of waiting for her mother to speak and crossed her legs as she leaned back in her chair. Maybe Jasmine would've kept her posture and shit but Jasmine was never one for all that.

"Just as I expected." Her mother finally chuckled. "So… impatient."
