LUCIAN
The house was silent save for the sounds of his keyboard and the low hum of the airconditioner.
Perfect working condition.
It was the weekend, but Lucian had to review the submissions for the final bidding and negotiations. He'd been at this since he got back to work.
He had been gone for a while and had to ensure everything went according to plan. Dean seemed to have followed his instructions, just as he expected of someone he had personally scouted.
Just as he was signing off changes, a notification for a video call from Oliver came in.
"Oliver." I acknowledged as his call came in.
"Good afternoon, Sir. We've detected movement from the Orwells. They've recently launched an internal audit and are waiting for answers."
"They're trying to rid themselves of Jasper. They surely have gotten wind of his stay in jail. If they have any sense left in them, they'll want to find reasons to sever ties with him."
