"Sir, we have two pieces of bad news."
As a man raced into the room Alpin Banfi Sr, glared at the man. He'd been watching the play-by-play of Evangeline's meeting with the union members and he was not very hopeful. He'd made sure to brainwash all the union members, so much so that they'd been ready to attack and not believe anything she tried to say.
But instead of even trying to explain herself, she attacked Gareth Simp and the others, even going so far as to make the others believe that Gareth was suspicious. It made him realize that he had severely underestimated Evangeline. She'd been quiet and not very active in the current politics, letting Alexander Sterling do things on her behalf. That man had fooled him into thinking that she was not as powerful. But now Evangeline suddenly turned to be the hidden ace.
Dam* it! Both the girls were getting difficult for him to handle and this made him angrier.
