Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression

"H-Hello?" Lillian nervously said as she answered the call.

"Hey," Ethan’s calm and composed voice came through. "Are you free to talk?"

"Um, yeah. What’s up?" Lillian quickly stepped out of the kitchen and into the living room, clutching the phone like it might escape her grip.

Aria peeked out from the doorway with curious eyes.

"Can we meet up?" Ethan asked, "it’s about Sentinel."

"O-Okay. When?" she asked, her voice a bit steadier now.

"Right now, if you’re free." He answered.

"Now?" Lillian glanced at the clock on the wall. "Yeah, I mean—I’m free. Just... give me like fifteen minutes?"

"You can take twenty," Ethan said with a chuckle. "We’ll meet at the same Sammy’s diner as last time."

"R-right," Lillian said, "I’ll be there in twenty."
