Damon was sitting at his desk, buried in paperwork, when his focus was interrupted by the sharp ring of the satellite phone on his desk. The sound cut through the quiet of his office, making him pause. He picked it up, recognizing the number instantly—a call he had been expecting.
"Yeah?" Damon answered, his tone sharp and businesslike.
The voice on the other end was calm, almost too calm. "Sir, everything's going according to plan here. The setbacks you requested have been implemented, and the delays are piling up just as we intended."
Damon leaned back in his chair, a smirk playing on his lips. "Good. That's exactly what I wanted to hear."
The caller continued, giving a rundown of the recent developments and the chaos that was subtly being sown in the project. Damon listened intently, his satisfaction growing with each detail.
"Anything else I should know?" Damon asked, tapping a pen against his desk.
