Chapter 335: The new Captain of the Guild
Kellen thought he was doing a good job so far.
The hand off for Casper, and making sure that he had the support he needed at this moment went smoothly. Pamela and Rene arrived not too long after he’d finished his phone call with Brent.
Pamela had her game face on, clearly trying to hide her embarrassment that Kellen had called her when she had been alone with Rene. Rene, however, didn’t look like a hair on her head was out of place. Her skirt and shirt were even, organised, and the only thing that gave away that they might have been up to something was a slight smudge of her lipstick near the bottom of her lip. That, and Pamela’s lips were a darker shade then they normally were, maybe the colour of Rene’s lipstick.
If someone hadn’t caught them, they probably would never notice. Pamela seemed more embarrassed that it was Kellen who caught them, while Rene warmly greeted him, giving him a hug.
Honestly, out of all the people who could have been a fly on the wall for this situation, Kellen was glad it was Rene. She had gone through an awful divorce and had come out on the other side. Her husband had tried to ruin her, but she had instead fought against his words and actions, hired the best lawyer she could, and threw him all over the ground instead of letting him get away with it. It had been hard, and Kellen remembered the times when she’d sobbed in his family home’s living room, but she was a strong person.
While Casper’s situation wasn’t similar, Rene was probably a good person for him to have around. If Gunther had done anything, which Kellen didn’t think that he’d done anything physical given how Casper had reacted when he’d hit him, there was a chance he’d done something else, potentially without being aware of it.
Rene’s ex-husband had been notoriously manipulative and conniving, so that was something she could probably help with. Pamela did ask if Kellen needed his help upstairs, but Kellen shot her down.
Did he know what Rhys and Hill had been up to upstairs? Not really, but he could figure it out. He’d already messaged his Mom asking if she could help out while Rhys and Hill had to step out to deal with a Guild related issue, and she was already on her way with her laptop. So was his Dad.
He was sure their support would be enough, since Casper needed her now. The Guild, for her, could wait. Casper could not.
So, Kellen took five minutes to speak to Casper before he grabbed his things remaining in his office and headed on his way. Kellen told them to use his home if they wanted to, just stop by the conference room if they were planning to go up. Pamela nodded, before saying that they might remain in this office for a little bit longer. It wouldn’t do Casper any good to move him right now, nor would it be good for everyone to see him crumbling like this in the Guiding Division.
Kellen agreed, and told them to use it for however long they needed, just keep Kellen in the loop.
