Chapter 69: Calling For Help

Ewan was nonplussed.

For a second, he thought Gianna was pranking him.

Beside him was Sandro. They had been working on the company’s reports, noting ways to improve the stocks, and how to make the conference become a trigger for the growth of their company.

"What is the matter?" Sandro asked, dropping the pen in his hand on the large file before him, as he noticed Ewan’s pale face. "What happened to Athena?"

On the other side of the phone, Gianna was impatient. As were her other companions.

"What’s the matter? Is he not saying anything?" Aiden queried, eyes flashing with intolerance.

Gianna shrugged her shoulders. She didn’t understand Ewan’s silence either.

Kathleen huffed, tired of waiting, and collected the phone from Gianna.

"Hello...Mr Ewan..."

Ewan was stomped for the second time in a row.

This was the voice of the hacker; the hacker he had spoken to when his company had been in crises.

Was this a joke of some sorts?

He heard a shuffling static, and then a deeper timbre of the voice he just heard.

Without question, he knew it was the twins. They had been behind the hack? But how? Was Athena using them?

His thoughts were caught off by Nathaniel’s voice.

"Hello, Mr Ewan, we need your help with backup. Can we borrow your bodyguard system, with Mr Zane’s? We tried reaching him first, but to no avail. Can you check in with him, and come with him now? My mother’s life depends on that. I’m trusting you on this one, this time around..."

What six year old speaks this confidently?

Ewan opened his mouth, but a croak came out first.
