"Can I have a moment alone with the boy?" Ladina said finally, her voice taut with barely concealed frustration.
"If you don't mind...?" she added, glancing at Principal Alric.
Alric pointed at his own face in confusion, then looked around the office as if making sure she was indeed talking to him.
It was his own damn office— and yet here he was, being asked to leave like a guest overstaying his welcome.
"Sure... I'll be waiting in the lobby outside," Alric said after a pause, suppressing his irritation as he stood up and made his way toward the door.
Normally, he wouldn't have agreed so easily to such a request.
However, Ladina Horizon wasn't just anyone.
She was the damn CEO of the Horizon Dominion Group and when she asked you to lend her your office, you simply did it. No questions asked.
He didn't know what she wanted to say that he couldn't hear, but whatever it was, it was clear that it wasn't meant for him.
