"Use the elevator to get to the fifth floor," Aiden said, giving the wolves some last-minute instructions. "Only after the goblins are dead, pry open the makeshift barrier with the crowbar. Understood?"
"Stop fretting over little details," Karina replied, rolling her eyes. "We got it, don't we boys?"
"Of course we do!"
Aiden nodded, but his attention was fixed on Karina. She was back to being her boastful self. The girl Aiden had left in the meeting room was nowhere to be seen.
Well, it's good. She can fluster in her personal time. Right now, I need her to be the leader she had been for a year.
After a final check on Karina's insistence, the group loaded themselves into the elevator, ready to depart. As the doors were closing, Aiden saw Karina wave at him before hurriedly looking away.
James saw it and nudged Aiden with his elbow.
"Boss, I didn't know you two were, mm-hmm!" he said, raising his eyebrows in quick succession.
It's not just her, James.
