Rego nodded at Micah's heartfelt words of trust. But he didn't say anything for fear of showing an unmanly side of himself.
Micah turned to Art and Tineya.
"That goes for you two as well. All of you are here today because I trust you and want you to join me. But…"
Micah paused.
"As you might have noticed, there are eight chairs. It's not because I already have four more people in mind to fill those places. It's so that when we expand and need more people to ensure the continued quality of our work, there will be room. Well, I do have one person in mind, but that's still up in the air."
"Kairon?"
"Yep."
Micah responded to Art's question without surprise. He hadn't exactly tried to keep it a secret that he wanted Kairon when he extended an invitation to him in front of everyone after Kairon fought in the Cube.
"Ah! He wanted to talk to you, bossman!"
