Athena furrowed her eyebrows, seeing Old Mr. Thorne's name flash across her phone screen.
Did something happen? She wondered, lightly tapping the side of the phone, while contemplating if she should excuse herself from the meeting that had been going on for some hours and take the call.
Surely, the old man wouldn't be calling unless it was urgent, knowing she was in a meeting with the president.
"Doctor Athena, is anything the matter?"
Slightly startled, Athena looked up, maintaining an even expression while being the center of attention.
Aiden was looking at her, his left brow raised in an inquiring arch. He was asking her if everything was okay.
"Not at all, Mr. President," Athena replied, pressing her lips together as her phone started vibrating again.
It must be urgent then!
