Chapter14 Revealing Kate

EMBER'S POV

"You all did a good job with the plan. But I must say, I was most impressed by our newcomer," he said and smiled at me. Every eye turned to me as well, and I flushed,

"thank you, sir,"

"You weren't just clever, but you were witty too. Well-done. And congratulations, as you've been selected to attend the Alpha's banquet that comes up tomorrow evening. Please dress up nicely." The room erupted in hush whispers but the president quieted it down.

"you may all leave. Everyone, aside from you two," he said, pointing to both his secretary and Joan, who looked at him with impending doom.

I lulled as everyone quietly left and watch as Joan walked toward the president with disdain

“Sir, please, I really can explain…” she cried, but he looked away from her and gestured toward the security guard who had entered the room

“Take them to disciplinary room.” He said coldly and began to rise.

The secretary looked sorry and went willingly, but Joan wasn’t having it.
