Chapter 266 - 24: Kayla’s offer
Once Athan explained the situation to Shawn, he quickly agreed to come along. Their destination was the MSA headquarters, a renowned name in global security that stands as an imposing high-rise in the heart of the financial district.
Its exterior, an expanse of mirrored glass and steel, gleams under the sun, reflecting the cityscape. Shawn was in awe as he entered that place, following Athan from behind. The air is filled with quiet intensity as elite agents, dressed in tailored suits, move with purpose.
He gulped, excitement was building up inside him, despite the critical situation. They were escorted by a male employee to the president’s floor, which made Shawn wonder if it was someone Athan was acquainted with.
He knew an alpha whose last name was Montgomery, but he was uncertain if that person was related to the company. That uncertainty was confirmed after they entered the room. Shawn immediately met those blue eyes. He was stunned, but he immediately averted his gaze away.
His heart pounded. Fear crept inside. What if Athan learned of their past? What if Kayden tells him? What would Shawn do? He was panicking in surprise, surprisingly, Kayden acted strangely, looking away and not greeting him either.
"Please, have a seat. I’m Kayla Montgomery, by the way. I’m the president of this company." A tall female alpha introduced herself to them. She had the same features as Kayden, so Shawn concluded they were siblings.
"Athan Horace. And this is Shawn Williams." Athan shook Kayla’s hand, while Shawn slightly bowed at her who returned his gesture with a small smile. Athan immediately cut to the point. He bickered with another alpha first, before discussing their plans seriously.
The air in the room became tense after the alpha, whom Shawn recognized as Knoa’s father, went crazy. Until the discussion was soon put into action.
"Will it work?" Kayden anxiously inquired.
