“Alright,” Liam said, understanding Michael’s concerns and not pushing him. “But don’t take too long to decide. We need time to set everything up.”

Michael’s gaze grew serious. “Got it.”

Liam stood up and headed for the door.

Michael watched Liam leave and asked, “Do you think Jeffrey’s gonna catch wind of this?”

Rebecca shot him a look.

Tom took the chance to press her. “Right, Ms. Jensen?”

Rebecca nodded. “Yeah.”

Mark’s brow furrowed just a bit.

‘Hold up, did I just stumble on something huge?‘ Mark thought, a little stunned.
