The pause at the table was uncomfortable.
Rayne knew it was only for a few seconds, but they were in such important company that it seemed like a fearful thirty minutes at the least.
After a tensed span of a few seconds, the chairman burst out laughing.
Rayne let go of the sigh of relief he had been holding in for so long.
Even Leah and Sasha had seemed tense for a while.
Everyone around the table relaxed except the new man who had caught Leah of course.
Rayne wondered who he was and how powerful. He seemed like a wild animal quietly waiting for the time to pass. There was a restless energy in his eyes that Rayne found… unsettling.
"You sound just like my granddaughter! All three of you do!"
Rayne looked over in surprise as Clara Kane beamed.
The cousins smiled quickly, more relief sweeping their features.
