Chapter 70: Thomas Stone; Alcohol And Guilt.
"What? How is that possible? What happened?" Silas probed, his voice sharp with
concern.
Thomas swirled his glass before gulping down. His chest pounding with guilt at the lie he just told his brother. Not a lie, he thought, not the truth either.
"I just found out," he said.
"Do you know who it is?" Silas asked.
"Nope, but I'm working on it. Don't worry," he said in a small voice trying to sound reassuring.
"Do you need help?" Silas asked. "I could hire extra hands."
"No, no," he said, "but I appreciate the gesture. Don't worry I'm working on it."
"Alright bro," Silas said softly.
Thomas poured another glass of vodka and sipped. The cold sensation hit his chest, melting away his guilt. "Thank you for bringing back Sonia. Send my regards to Ivy."
"Sure," Silas replied. "Wade's been calling you."
"I'll get back to him. Thanks," he said softly so Silas wouldn't clock that he was dismissing him.
"I'll come see you tomorrow," Silas said. "My regards to Rosie."
"Thank you, Si. Goodnight."
"Goodnight," Silas said before hanging up.
Thomas dropped the phone on the table and turned to the window. The lights in the distance calmed him as he drank his vodka.
He was supposed to be glad Sonia was doing business with him again. He had seen her missed call, but his thoughts were too jumbled to talk to her yet. The situation of things were robbing him of his excitement.
He turned away from the window and sank into his chair. He glanced at his wristwatch. It was late. Yet he didn't want to go home, he just wanted to bury himself in work and forget everything.
A knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts.
"Come in," he said, refilling his glass. He didn't care if his staff saw him like this.
Sabrina walked in, her laptop in her hand. "Evening sir."
