Chapter Eighty-Seven
The dining hall was silent as everyone listened attentively to Elijah’s voice echoing from the phone speaker.
Every client in the room quietly stared at Elijah while he rested his elbows on the desk and said, “I know you all are wondering why you guys are here.”

“Right, then I will get to it.”
