The officers escorted Liam and William into the meeting room, their handcuffs glinting under the harsh fluorescent lights. The CEO's gaze first fell on William, whose eyes widened in shock, as if he had seen a ghost. Clearly, he hadn't expected the CEO to appear, unaware that it was Liam who had summoned him.
The CEO then turned his attention to Liam, whose confident expression hadn't wavered. Liam met the CEO's gaze with a smirk, his voice casual and unconcerned. "Took you long enough, uncle Thalion."
The CEO's badge shined his name - Thalion Kael'thas
Thalion let out a sigh, shaking his head in disappointment. "Maybe I shouldn't have come after all."
He then turned to the officers, his voice firm and authoritative. "Remove their handcuffs."
The officers exchanged uncertain glances, one of them stepping forward to protest. "Sir, William and Liam were arrested for a threat level 5 crime. They can't be left unrestrained."
