Chapter 30

Rachel hung up on Matthew before he could respond. She was worried that if he came and failed to meet Zayden, it would only add to her frustration. She glanced at the darkened sky. It made her even more anxious. In contrast, Malcolm was relaxed. He was smoking a cigarette and leisurely checking the time. "Stop waiting. It's almost dinner time. It's annoying to interrupt someone's meal," he said with a hint of pride. Having already secured support from the Lloyd family, he felt confident about his victory. Rachel's face darkened, and she remained silent. Malcolm was clearly flaunting his advantage. Zayden would be leaving for a meeting at the military district tomorrow. This would be Rachel's last chance to meet him. If she failed to meet him today, she would likely lose her position as president.
