Chapter 358: You're Indeed Incompetent


Now that the jewelry gig was officially rolling, Alaric kept nagging Stellan to stay away from the construction site and let Silas handle it. But Cormac wasn't cool with Silas going solo, so he decided to check things out himself. Cormac spent the whole day poking around the site and only swung by Nexus Innovations at the end of the day to drop off his notes to Stellan.

Cormac said, "Here's the lowdown from today's site check. Spotted a few safety issues and already told the engineering head to fix 'em ASAP."

Stellan skimmed the report and said, "Cormac, you spent your first day back at the site? Must've been a drag."

Cormac shrugged, "Had to be done. Safety's a big deal and needs to be tight."

"Totally. With you on it, I can chill," Stellan said, putting down the report. "Did you drop Aurora at school?"

"Yeah," Cormac replied, then asked, "Did Caspian, Harry, and Elisa make it to school too?"

Stellan nodded. "Yep, Alaric's playing stay-at-home dad for the next six months, said he doesn't need a driver for school runs."

They had their roles down pat now. Alaric could kick back and recover at home, which made Stellan pretty stoked.

A stay-at-home dad? Stellan might be clueless, but Cormac knew better. If Alaric could really chill as a stay-at-home dad, Cormac wouldn't be stressing. But he couldn't spill that to Stellan. "Getting him to totally ditch work ain't easy," Cormac said. "Anyway, let's talk about the Vale Family. Heard Stuart's heading to Arizona soon." 'That crazy Stuart?'

Cormac added, "He blames you and Alaric for Todd's death. He's probably coming for payback. Watch your back."
