Capítulo 79: Pranked

Cadmus grinned before wincing and adding "Of course, she might've changed. I don't know. Hopefully not, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised."

They fell silent as a cab rounded the corner and sped up the block towards them. It screeched to a stop in front of the sidewalk. 

With that, Halstead Mondragon unfolded himself from the backseat with a scowl. 

They could see his secretary passing some cash forward to the driver. She then got out as well and rounded the car to pull their bags from the trunk before crossing the street.

As soon as Halstead laid eyes on Blair, his displeasure lessened somewhat.

He could not deny that he was glad to meet her again. Blair, on the other hand, couldn't help but shrink back a bit, edging a little behind Cadmus. She felt like her being there would just make things worse rather than better. 

'Perhaps, I should have anticipated that.' Halstead probably blamed Blair for dragging Cadmus into this.
