Chapter 26: Official announcement

Dylan is sitting on the sofa opposite Kingsley and Christian. In between, a table is placed, on which documents are spread. He is bent, holding a pen in his hand and is jabbering. Christian and Kingsley, only nodded. He then falls silent for a split second and, then he opens his mouth.

"You are late!"

Janice freezes as if lightning strikes her. She is standing at the end of the staircase. She tip-toed all the way like a cat so no one recognizes her presence except for him. Her head is still buzzing due to the last night's hangover and her nose is red. She, at first, hesitates then takes a few steps forward, hanging her head, looking down at the floor, feeling guilty and sits next to Dylan.
