'Did he just mean Richard?' I thought, I couldn't believe he was talking about Richard like that when he didn't need anyone to remind him of how dangerous Richard was.

I asked Sam after a strained meeting with the shareholders that day.My steps were swift and heavy as they carried me back to my office."Just like you ordered, Boss," Sam said, in a matching intensity.

I realized she might not respond to a strange number, since she never gave it to me, so I immediately deleted it and threw a bait instead."Lunch?"

He asked, his tone tight with annoyance, halting me in my tracks.'Again?'
