“Then I'll call him back,” Jessica shot back, already imagining how it would play out. “You can try negotiating
with him yourself, but if it goes badly, don’t be surprised if he shows up at your office with his secretary in tow.”

“Taketo Melvin’s hand do exactly as | say. I'll tell you what to do when you get home,” Jessica said, her
tone calm, confident, and unmistakably in control.

“Knocking seemed more respectful.”
Melvin’s hand tightened slightly around the door handle.
“Can we cin?” Jessica asked.
“Just you,” Melvin replied, his tone serious, his gaze flicking past her to land briefly on Jack. “Not him.”
“You wait here for me. I'll grab my things and go with you,” Jessica said to Jack, pausing at the doorway.
Jack gave a nod. “Okay.”
