"Make sure I don't meet them."
I didn't even get a hang of what was going on right now. Holang investors? Gideon? Why was Gideon even being mentioned in this conversation?
This wasn't what I came here to do today! Why did I feel like he was just taking out his anger on me? Why?
Did I trigger him? Did I touch a sore spot?
"Why don't you want to meet them?" I asked before I could stop myself.
"Ms. Foile," Elias called, completely ignoring my question.
"Yes, sir?"
"I told you to coach her on what her job as a secretary entails. Did you do that?"
"I'm sorry, sir. I never got the chance to do that, so..."
"Excuses. I hate them."
"I'm so sorry, sir."
"Fix my lunch with the mayor of the West's son, Valerius."
*Valerius?* I frowned. Why was he meeting *him*?
Really? Is this how it's
