On the way to the gazebo, Jerlina contemplated how she could handle this situation. If Alexander Volkonsky can't hold back Jonathan Erling and even the President has to heed his commands, it means that he holds immeasurable power and it won't be wise to stand openly against him.
It's just not wise to bang your head on a stone wall! Jonathan Erling is a very strong wall. He cannot be overcome by brute force. She is not that strong.
Jerlina took in a deep breath. She noticed at a distance that Gordon was speaking to someone in his earpiece but the moment he saw her, he took his seat pretending to be ending the call.
Don't tell me... Is that Jonathan Erling at the other end of the line?
"Thank you for waiting, Mr. Faraday," Jerlina walked in with a polite smile.
"Oh please, Ms. Hopkins. Just Gordon is fine," he said and Jerlina nodded.
