Chapter 59

Chapter 59:

The harsh fluorescent lighting outside the operating room did little to brighten her desolate mood.

For Sadie, Laura was her last remaining relative, indispensable and irreplaceable.

The anticipated bonus from the Maple Group project was her final lifeline.

Regardless of Noah’s decisions concerning the bonus, Sadie was resolved to secure it.

“Ah, another lady eager to make a deal! Why don’t you drop by the Night Owl Bar, Room 317? Impress us here, and the contract’s as good as yours. Hahaha!”
