Chapter 319: Allies? (Part 6)

Don waited just long enough to avoid suspicion, then, he made his move.

By the time Don reached the elevator, the doors had already closed behind Daniel and Natasha. He pressed the call button and waited, tapping a finger lightly against his wrist as the soft chime signaled the elevator's return. 

The doors slid open, and he stepped inside, quickly selecting the same floor Daniel had gone to.

As the elevator began its descent, Don leaned against the back wall, considering his next move. If security was present, he'd have to play it smart—perhaps mention Charles if necessary. 

But the goal here wasn't to create a scene; it was to gather leverage, something he couldn't do if he got himself kicked out. If needed, he could rely on Charismatic Presence to smooth things over.

The elevator soon came to a slow halt, and the doors opened with a soft **ding**.

The moment Don stepped out, his concerns about security faded.
