Back in the conference room at Thompson Group, Shane was in the middle of a meeting when Silas entered the room. He walked towards Shane and bent down, speaking softly, “Mr. Shane, you have a call from Ms. Smith.”

“What’s the matter?” Shane called for a pause in the meeting as he turned his attention to Silas.

Silas shook his head, replying, “I don’t know. I haven’t picked up.”

“Here, give it to me.” Shane took the phone from Silas.

Shane announced that the meeting would be postponed before he stepped out of the conference room to answer the call.

He placed the phone at his ear as he answered the call. “Hey, what’s up?”

Natalie’s voice drifted through the phone, but she appeared to be asking someone a question instead of talking to him. “Who sent you here? What are you trying to do?”
