Chapter 17 Permission Granted Part 1

"What plan, Miss Smith?" I heard a very cold distanced voice speak from behind me. I froze in my place. This shouldn t have happened!

Right now, I was as frightened as a person with coulrophobia watching 'IT for the first time. I would have won in Grandmother s Footsteps if I was playing one. The mobile I was holding near my ears was taken; thankfully, Jade had hung up the moment someone made their presence clear behind me.

I stayed the way I was fearing what he would do when he saw Jade s name that I had saved as S.I.C- Second In Command- on the screen. I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I did not notice Austin coming even closer to me than he was. I felt his breath near my ears then he spoke- asking me the question I hoped he didn t ask, I would have concocted if I hadn t known of his anger issues.

"What plan were you talking about?" He asked, eyeing the phone. I gulped then turned around with a straight face.
