[Patrick's P.O.V.]
I waited outside Alpha's office, but he didn't seem to need me until the office door opened again.
I didn't know what they had been talking about inside, but Clyde nodded at me and left. Then Alpha appeared and told me to pack up because we were going to visit the Birmingham headquarters of a pharmaceutical company that did business with us.
"I thought you had turned them down."
I was a little confused because when I ran into Kathleen on the way to Alpha's office yesterday, she had mentioned that Alpha was refusing to go to Birmingham.
"Yes, but I've changed my mind now."
"Do you still want me to keep an eye on Clyde?"
"No. Go spend some time with your girlfriend instead. We're leaving for Birmingham tomorrow, probably for a week. By the way, how's it going with you guys?"
"Honestly, we've already hit the home run after she agreed to be my mate."
