Unknown.
As soon as I said that, an uncomfortable silence settled inside the elevator, which was only thawed a couple of seconds later when my PA glanced into his iPad one more time, shook his head stiffly at me and said in that lifeless monotone that he always speaks in;
"That is false."
I stilled, felt my heart drop and then turned around slowly to cast him a glare.
"False as in..."
"The news is untrue. Only one of Late Beta Malakai’s daughters is dead."
Dead? Malakai, dead?
That was impossible. I mean, what could bring down a man of such calibre and power if not one of his usual schemes? If not him himself?
I was however about to respond when the elevator suddenly dinged and pulled open. Mine and my PA’s eyes met for a second before I stepped out, signalling to him that the conversation would be returned to later.
We walked down the too perfect halls leading up to Alpha Frostclaw’s office, and at the same time, ignored the looks that his employees cast at us as we went. I could hear their hushed whispers and even some of their thoughts. But I ignored it all, focusing on the one important thing that brought me here— which was the contract.
I sighed.
"Good afternoon, Mr Valemont! It’s a pleasure to meet with you again today!"
I was forcefully pulled out of my thoughts when a silver-haired vixen walked up to me. Her eyes were a bright shade of... is that pink contact lens? And her lips, plump and full, a testament of fillers, moved slowly as her eyes trailed from my face to my very shiny shoes.
I can see that she is one of the people that keeps me in business!
"Alpha Frostclaw is in a meeting right now so I have been tasked with attending to you from now until about the next ten minutes, which is when he will be done with his current meeting." She continued in that overly high pitched voice and I let my eyes rake from the top of her head to her red very high heels and without a word, I nodded.
"So please, come with me!" She stated, leading the way to a sparsely decorated mini suite.
I watched her lead us. I also couldn’t help but notice the way she forcefully shook her backside until she began to appear like she was having a seizure. By the time we arrived at the suit and she turned around to usher us into the expensive looking sofas, I also noticed that the two buttons on the top of her blouse had been let loose and now, her bosoms looked like they were about to spill over.
I cocked my brow.
"Thank you Ms...?"
"Just call me Yvette," she rushed out airily, "that’s what everyone calls me by the way."
Again, I let my eyes rake the entire length of her body, taking in her youthful look and innocent doe eyes. Her lips were pressed into a thin line as she clasped her hands together, as if waiting for me to respond.
But I didn’t. I nodded once again.
Jay, ensure that both parties agree to initiate a bidirectional, latency-minimized synchronization of all cross-functional data streams via a pseudo-deterministic, quantum-resilient abstraction layer (QRAL). Said layer shall operate under a dynamically adaptive, heuristically governed neural consensus mechanism, ensuring probabilistic integrity of all transcompiled data packets.
