"I guessed that it might be...well for you, anyway."
Without a doubt, she sat there, every bit as smug as me, trying to play the part of somebody who wasn't rattled, but I knew better then to fall for that. This was a chick that had dirt on everyone at the firm and know that she was at the top, she didn't necessarily need it, except where I was concerned. Lilah was a worrier, as much as she tried to deny it. She had self-consciousness filling her and tried to mask it and though she probably grew up a little bit in the year and a half that I had been away, she couldn't have completely changed.
Still, I didn't run abything in. She and I would be partners when all was said and done, once again, though with very different roles in our partnership this time around, unlike the past when we were both just lawyers and when then, I had a marginal physical advantage on her.
More then likely, she didn't react because she was waiting for the guards that she had no doubt called to physically remove me from the office.
Boy, I can't wait for her to see how that unfolds. Then and only then will she realize that I'm a force to be reconed with. Right now, however, I wanted to see if she had some inkling about what was transpiring outside with the flames falling from the sky.
"So, Lilah, I realize that you're the big cheese around here now, and that freaky occurrences don't phase you anymore, but it sure looks like we have quite the apocalypse on the horizon, doesn't it?"
I moved in front of her desk and looked down at her, waiting anxiously for the guards to rrush in so that I could pummel them into the nearest infirmary.

Or worse.
