The elevator doors opened, revealing Jake inside. His eyebrows shot up when he saw them there. He looked between Luca and Sutton, but he quickly schooled his expression, hiding any thoughts he had about it and didn’t say anything.

“Systems are still in lockdown as you ordered. I’m having Nicole’s every move watched. She’s been trying to override it but can’t get past your credentials,” Jake said, explaining.

Luca’s expression hardened slightly. “Where is she now?”

“Executive conference room. She has called an emergency meeting with the department heads and the development team.”

“Without me,” Luca stated rather than asked. “Interesting.”

“Yes, sir. Said you authorized it,” Jake said.
