Chapter 14: A Ruckus II

Athena was reading the documents her assistant had submitted to her earlier, which detailed the spread of the strange disease around some towns, when she heard the commotion right outside the door.

A smile slithered across her lips when she heard Fiona’s hysterical scream at Ciara; an order to open the office doors so that she could get through.

For the guards to let Fiona back into the premises, it could only mean that Ewan had come with her.

Athena shook her head. The ruckus was far from over. But she was more than ready for the wacky couple.

Just then her phone started ringing.

When she saw the caller, she piqued an eyebrow. Zane.

Had Ewan really spoken to him about firing her? Or was he calling to inform her to accept Fiona’s request, whatever that was?

Athena silenced the phone, and turned it upside down. She didn’t need Zane’s interference. If he deemed it necessary to interfere, she would resign.

That decided, she placed her hands on the desk, and wore excellently, the posture of the aloof boss that she was.

At the same moment her office door opened, and Ciara led Ewan and Fiona into her mighty office which had a beautiful view of the sky and city.

Probably why Fiona had gone wild with hate the first time.

"I tried to stop them, but Mr. Ewan Giacometti had permission from Mr. Zane."

Athena nodded slowly, before gesturing that Ciara leave the office. "Give me five minutes before you send the other patients in. I think I will be done with this case soonest."

Ciara nodded and gave a bow, before leaving the office.
