After being asked to get her guardian over, Zinnia frowned. Clutching her phone, she stepped out of the

office.

Maisie had already called her mom.

Standing alone in the empty hallway, Zinnia scrolled through her contacts. She wasn’t sure who to call.

She didn’t want to worry Sofia. Besides, Yosef was away on business, Timothy was busy at the hospital, and Howard had gone to another city for a competition. Her phone didn’t hold many contacts–just two names left: Perry and Yannis.

Originally, neither teacher had wanted to involve guardians, thinking the girls could sort out their own mess. But Tom was such a stubborn man. He insisted they call their guardians.

Zinnia glanced over at Betty. She stood nearby, sobbing dramatically and wailing for her mom. Zinnia frowned. Her finger drifted absently and accidentally tapped Yannis‘ number.

The dial tone buzzed, snapping Zinnia back to reality. She stared at the screen, panic flashing through her mind. Her fingers hovered over the hang–up button, but before she could react, the call connected almost immediately.

“Hello?” Yannis‘ clear, gentle voice came through the line. “Zinnia?”

Getting no response, Yannis pulled the phone away from his ear and checked the screen. It was definitely Zinnia. Still, there was no reply from the other end, just background noise–maybe Betty’s voice.

Across Yannis, a group of executives held their breath, eyes wide as they stared at their CEO at the head of the table.

They exchanged stunned glances, wondering who the caller was. The call felt like magic, pulling them out of the deep freeze they’d been stuck in.

In fact, just before this call, Yannis had been tearing apart their proposals one by one. The executives were getting absolutely roasted.

the executives watched as Yannis–usually as cold and intimidating as an avenging deity–instantly softened.
