"Yes, sir."He stepped away, pulling out his phone.The men at the table exchanged curious glances."Caleb Steele?" one of them murmured. "The heir to Steele Holdings?"Dylan leaned back in his chair, his expression cold and satisfied."Yes," he said simply. "The very same."The Commissioner frowned, confusion flickering across his face.But Dylan said nothing more.He simply waited.And smiled.The dinner continued, conversation flowing easily around the table. Wine glasses were refilled.
