“Alright.” Remington hung up, grabbed his coat, and bolted out of the office.
Cedric quickly stood up and approached as Remington headed briskly towards the elevator“No need to tag along.”
Cedric nodded, a bit curious about where the boss was off to all by himself this late.
But he still had something to run by him, so he followed a few steps and asked.
“Mr. Dashiell, Mr. Frost and the others are still in the meeting room having tea, should we...”
Earlier in the evening, when Remington came back to pull an all—nighter at the Starlight Group, he had Cedric summon Mr. Frost,Mt. Grover, and Mr. Hardy

Kevin thought it was just a lovers‘ spat between Remington and Evelina, but Remington’s words werewarning.

“Good on you for having the sense to put on a thick coat before heading out.”
Joseph was wrapped in a big, thick down jacket and looked up when he heard the voice.
“I'm doing all this for who, huh? Remi, you’re so heartless, no wonder Liz dumped you”
