Chapter 173
Though Katelina waited, Senya didn't come to the room to fetch her. Whatever Malick wanted obviously wasn't pressing, or else he'd changed his mind. That idea was almost worse than a summons. Better to think he had a real purpose for his actions rather than random whims.
When Jorick calmed down, she asked him why Malick called for him in the first place. His face creased with disgust and he answered, "He wanted me to come back."
She shivered. "You mean back to The Guild?"
"Back to him, more likely, but yes. He wanted me to come back and take up my old position. He said his initial opinion may have been premature, and perhaps I wasn't as cold as I wanted everyone to believe." Something dark sparkled in his eyes, and Katelina had to silently agree. Beneath the layers of cool veneer, anger still burned, though she wasn't sure who he was angry at.
