She reaches into her pocket and pulls out her phone with a sigh, looking out the window as she calls someone
"Don't flip out on me." she states in opening. What niceties she will have to say to the who's who at the open!
"I know. I couldn't get out of class as early as I thought but I'm on my way. I should be there in five or ten." She promises
"Is he still at the plaza?" she inquires
"Then we can do this. Just take in a deep breath and put on your brightest smile; everything will be fine I promise. I'm really sorry I'm late." She says into the phone.
I bet she's talking to Viola! I look at my watch; she said something about someone flying in today didn't she?
"I'll be there. Relax." She swears again before she hangs up, diving into a pensive mood I suspect has something to do with 'him'.

"I took it otherwise." I conclude as Hughes pulls into the plaza
"Thanks for the ride. I have to run." She says opening the door for herself to the bedevilment of Hughes who was getting out of the car to do her the honours. I turn to him
"I want you to find out for me who she's meeting." I announce
"Yes sir." He says with a bow
"And don't let her witness you." I add settling into the back seat and removing my phone.
So she was Sadie! That means her friend is Viola, the engineer! I smile and text the number to Emery
"Do with it what you may." I announce having once again won the competition of egos at the expense of him.
