The atmosphere within the office grew tense as both Ves and Gavin waited for Calabast to state the reason for her personal visit.
There was no way the spymaster dropped by at this particular time and place if she had to pass on mundane intelligence.
Though Calabast controlled her body language and spirituality far too well to give out any clues about her true thoughts, her actions alone constituted a signal in itself.
Ves leaned back on his office chair and crossed his arms. He had a feeling that he may not be done with shocking revelations for the night.
In case the topics of discussion veered into dangerous territory, he made sure to activate his best and most exhaustive signal jammers and other interference devices.
Though he did not bother to recall Lucky in order to have him sweep his office for bugs, Ves was already pretty confident in his ability to keep his talks under wraps.
