Chapter 60 Damage Control

• The room was thick with tension as Maverick sat silently, reading glasses perched on his nose as he poured over a large, black book. Across from him sat three seats. Autumn was in the middle, flanked by Judas and Ivan, each as silent and wary as she was. They all knew Maverick's temper and were uncertain what he might do next.
• Autumn had walked in to find Judas and Ivan already seated, likely having been there before the news leak hit. The quiet tension in the air pressed down on them all, amplifying every small sound.
• When Maverick finally shut the black book, the heavy clap echoed in the room. He removed his glasses and massaged his forehead before setting them on his desk.
