Vernon went to the office around eleven in the morning. He was smiling at Chloe as he gave her a kiss on the lips and a kiss on the cheek at Mackie.
But the moment he left the penthouse, his smile disappeared because he knew today would be exhausting.
He drove to his office and met with Diamond in the elevator. Vernon stood in the middle of the elevator. Diamond stood right behind him with a folder she hugged on her chest, indicating this folder was a top secret that shouldn't be leaked.
There was silence in the elevator until Vernon asked, "Did you prepare everything?"
"I did, Sir," Diamond replied. "Sir, I can see that your plan is great, but are you sure you can handle the repercussions? Vincent Gray will not like this."
Ding!
