Chapter 68 : Delaying the inevitable

Later that evening…

Luciano was sitting in his office with a glass of whiskey in his hand and thinking about the talk he had with Caden and Maya after dinner.

They discussed the upcoming festival and the issue of Katerina.

The preparations for the festival were on schedule and increased security was already in effect, so they focused on discussing Katerina.

They decided to work on delaying her visit.

It was Maya’s plan.

“Instead of telling her not to come, we will tell her WHEN to come.”

Luciano didn’t like it, but he gestured to Maya to keep on talking.

“Two weeks.”, Maya said. “We will tell Katerina that your schedule is packed and that you can’t entertain her now, but in two weeks she can come, and you will make it up to her.”

“You think Katerina and Alpha Edward will accept this two-week delay?”, Luciano asked.

“No.”, Maya said bluntly before elaborating, “This is not about getting two weeks, but about negotiating. I expect that they will ask for Katerina to come sooner.
