The subordinate stood before Nathaniel Delacroix, knowing that his next words could change everything. His heart pounded in his chest as he finally mustered the courage to speak.
"It's Sterling's," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Nathaniel's arrogance vanished in an instant, replaced by a raw shock that made his hands shake. "What...!" he exclaimed, his mind racing with the implications of this revelation. "Move damn it, what are you standing here for, remove any traces of which can lead them us," he barked, his voice thick with panic. He knew that they needed to act fast before Sterling caught wind of their schemes.
The subordinate nodded frantically and scurried off, his footsteps echoing through the empty room. He hastily relayed Nathaniel's orders to his colleague, his voice trembling with fear.
