Chapter 157: Chaptee 157
Betrayed by Blood~
Avery hesitated outside Cain’s office, shifting on her feet as she debated whether or not to enter. She had been so sure of herself just moments ago, excited even, but now she wasn’t certain if she should interrupt.
She sighed, lowering her gaze to the floor. Maybe she should just come back later.
But she couldn’t. She had to show him. She took a deep breath and knocked lightly before pushing the door open just enough to peek inside. Cain sat at his desk, eyes scanning over a set of documents while several high-ranking wolves stood in front of him, waiting for his orders. His presence filled the room, but the moment his gaze flicked up and landed on her, everything stopped.
The discussion halted. His fingers stilled.
Avery swallowed. "Um... I—" She faltered. She hadn’t expected him to acknowledge her so quickly, especially in front of his men. She suddenly felt foolish for barging in like this.
"I—It’s nothing," she said quickly, shaking her head. "You’re busy. I’ll come back later. I’m sorry." She rushed out.
She turned on her heel to leave, but before she could take another step, Cain’s voice stopped her in her tracks.
"Wait."
Avery froze, turning around slowly.
Cain shifted his gaze toward the wolves before him, his expression unreadable. "We’ll continue this tomorrow. You’re dismissed." He passed the documents to them.
