Chapter 212: Ewan’s Apology II
The opening and closing of the door of the boardroom dragged Athena out of her frenzy thoughts about the twins who she termed "evil doctors of the West."
She lifted her head, a furrow line marring her forehead when she saw the relaxed features, the hint of a smile, on the lips of Old Mr. Thorne and Ewan. Their closeness too, and the walking rhythm, successfully piqued her interest.
What went on in that room, apart from Old Mr. Thorne handing Ewan’s rights to him? She wondered, unable to be even amused when they came to a halt at the same time before her. Her anger was yet to be pacified.
"I will see you around, Athena," Herbert spoke then, perceiving that it was time for him to leave.
He gave a curt nod to Old Mr. Thorne and Ewan, and then turned away from them, walking down the winding corridor till he was out of sight.
"It seems you both had some catching up to do..." Ethan spoke next, having noticed the same thing Athena had noticed, especially the relaxation of Ewan’s shoulders, which had been a different case during the meeting.
It had been a subtle feature, but Ethan had eyes for these things.
Ewan spared him an amused glance. "Yes, we did."
"Good for you." Ethan said, before turning to Athena. "So, should I head off to the academy now, or do we have some other things to talk over? Should I wait for you back at the house?"
Athena shook her head. "I don’t think there is anything else. If there is, I will email it to you."
"Academy? Is your new venture a school?" Ewan asked, but he got no response, only a cursory glance from Ethan right before he turned away and started down the corridor.
