Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 34

Who was that guy that answered the call from Mrs. Everly just now? What was his relationship with her? Should he tell Mr. Everly about this?

"Why haven't you gone to grab food yet?"

Finnian stepped out to grab something and noticed Will, who he'd sent off to get food about five minutes ago, still standing by the office door. So he asked.

Will looked up instantly, torn with indecision. Well, the call had already been made, and besides, Mr. Everly might find out sooner or later anyway. So perhaps it was better to come clean now?

"Mr. Everly, I remember Mrs. Everly makes a good clam chowder, so I took the liberty to call and see if she could bring some over. But some guy grabbed the phone and said no."

As Will reached the last part, he stared at Finnian and gulped nervously, fearing he might get thrown out for his audacity.
