If Jessie Sterling had felt even the slightest hesitation, it vanished the moment she saw that the event Zoe Marx mentioned was being held in Aethelburg.
Jessie cheerfully showed the message to Lynn Jennings. "Oh, that's actually pretty close!"
Lynn Jennings gave her a wry smile. "You're right. This way, you won't need me to come rescue you. If you get upset in there, you can just give President Morgan a call, can't you? He'll definitely get there faster than I would."
Jessie gave her shoulder a light push. "What are you talking about!"
The afternoon was still young, so Jessie bought two tickets for an orchestral concert, planning to drag Lynn along. But before they could even leave the mall, Lynn's phone rang.
Lynn glanced at the caller ID and answered without trying to hide it from Jessie.
"Hello?"
Whatever the person on the other end said, Lynn's expression turned odd. She even glanced over at Jessie. "…How is that possible? She's right here beside me. Are you kidding me?"
