When the call ended, Atlas casually shoved the phone back into his suit. As he did so, he paused, noticing everyone staring at him.
"What?" he asked dryly. "Go on. No need to stop. I can multitask."
Meaning, Scarlet didn't need to stop just because someone had called him. He could handle both at the same time.
"Atlas, your schedule is packed today," she reminded in a knowing tone. "Have you forgotten your important meeting with the president of Novera?"
"Forget?" he repeated flatly. "No, I didn't forget my meeting. I just never thought it was important."
He blinked and then jerked his chin at the man across from Scarlet. "Continue. I need you to finish this in… five minutes."
"Sir, I don't think Miss Young will be here in five minutes," Allen whispered, leaning to his side. All he got was a nonchalant shrug from his boss.
"Get to the point," Atlas said. "Because right now, I don't know where this discussion is headed, nor why it's a problem of mine."
