Chapter 83: Winning Again

"I will come to the hospital tomorrow for my own treatment. I have some things to sort out here. Thank you for coming by the way."

Athena didn’t bother nodding at the half-ass appreciation from Alfonso. She’d rather talk to Gianna, who was watching the ambulance officials carry Mag on the stretcher to the van.

Gianna, who wanted to shout, "Karma is a bummer," but who, like Athena, didn’t really wish damning sicknesses on people. That would be a tad too harsh, even if Mag had made things a bit difficult for her in the past.

"Will you stay for the meeting?" She heard Athena ask, and casually shrugged her shoulders.

"Since I’m already here, I might as well do the same. I was thinking the meeting would be held in another location, but this is better."

Athena nodded, and together they returned to find Alfonso had settled into a chair. He looked as though he had just lost a game of musical chairs and was trying to reclaim his spot at the table.

Not bothered, they shut the door behind them, sealing off the outside world for their little meeting.

"Thank you for agreeing to the meeting," Alfonso said, attempting to sound grateful.

Athena merely nodded, her expression as bland as the last piece of bread left in a lunchbox.

"The meeting was called because of the company. I want you to buy it."

"Yes," he replied with surprising enthusiasm.
