The rest of the lunch was spirit. discussing the schedule for the remainder of the day, which included a board meeting and another conference call Kylan wanted her to ur in for both, and she agreed as she finislied her meal:

Kylan was snuck on a phone call for the entirety of the drive back to the office, and so she was left to her own devices, while he talked his way through a business aleal. She opted to browse her social media idly, and she came in a stop when she looked at Litter. Slie saw a comment thread thuu kylan was a part of, and she opened it with a knowing frown on her fare.
