"How did it go, Mara! Did he demand something else?" Nathaniel asked with a hint of concern in his voice, after his assistant Mara put down the phone.
Mara's face was still haunted by the chilling tone of the conversation, "No... he just asked for his other half of what we offered previously!" she replied, her voice trembling slightly.
Nathaniel frowned, sensing that there was something more to the conversation than Mara was letting on. "Then why does your face look like you've seen a ghost?" he asked, feeling upset at the thought of Mr. Razor being unhappy with their arrangement.
"He... he knows about you. And what's your background, he knows everything!" Mara said with a distressed tone, her eyes wide with fear.
Nathaniel's expression changed from concern to surprise as he heard her words. "Ohh, so he also got the information about me!" he commented, his voice laced with amusement.
