ELODIE'S POV~
I barely had time to process what he'd said before the line went dead.
I stood there in the hallway, my phone still pressed to my ear, staring at the blank screen. Typical Dante. Dante never wasted words, never lingered on a call longer than absolutely necessary. Especially not with me.
I shook it off and headed back to the meeting room. Johnny glanced up when I walked in, his expression shifting to concern.
"I need to go," I said, already reaching for my bag. "Something came up."
He started to ask, but I cut him off before he could. "Can you compile everything we covered today? Notes, issues, all of it. Send it to me later and I'll go through it tonight."
I didn't want to be the reason we fell behind. Not when we were this close to finalizing everything.
