Chapter 103: The Outstanding Professional

"Doctor Athena, Mr. Alfonso Adams is here to see you."

Athena furrowed her eyebrows, watching her personal assistant, Ciara, make the report with her usual blend of cheerfulness and eagerness, as if she held the secrets of the universe in her hands.

"Did he state his reason for being here?" She finally asked, reclining deeper into the chair as if her body could magically absorb some patience.

"No, ma’am," Ciara answered smartly, her tone suggesting that she was thoroughly aware of her boss’ struggle with impatience. "Should I send him away?"

Athena would have loved to. The thought of dodging any more theatrics from the Adams family was enticing, particularly when she felt as though she was beating her head against a high gate at the end of every tunnel of inquiry.

The team’s investigation into the events of the last two nights had turned up null. No witnesses, no leads, and still no word from Mr. Thorne!

Sighing heavily, she realized the weight of her obligations. But she was a doctor, after all; sending Alfonso away wasn’t really an option. Not only was he her patient, but he also had an uncanny ability to bubble over with melodrama, which frankly was the last thing she needed right now.

I will send him away if he talks about the news of this morning. Athena vowed, shaking her head at the memory of Ethan’s grand announcement a few hours ago, regarding how her acquired businesses would now be run.

He had made it fully operational at the same time too. Just an hour ago, he’d sent her a report which detailed their sales volume making a formidable leap.

But why wouldn’t it? It was Ethan after all. A male who understood the power of a good scandal.

Yet, if this was what Alfonso was here for, she would certainly send him packing.

"Let him in," She said decisively. "But be ready to kick him out at the first sight of theatrics. The man can be quite bothersome."
