#Chapter 11 – Warning

Karl hands me the report, his expression unreadable. I can feel his gaze on me as I pick up the stack of
papers and scan the first page.
“That’s everything my people could find,” he says.
I look up at him and nod.
It took an hour to get the report, and we spent most of it in tense silence. His staff brought in tea, which
we both drank quietly, his with Kahlua, mine black. Then he had to take a few calls while I sat and
pretended not to listen. The worst, though, was when he ran out of things to do, and we just stared at
each other across the desk for ten minutes.
I could tell, with every passing minute, that he wanted to bring up what he said about reconciling.
Thankfully, he didn’t. He could probably pick up on the fact that I wasn’t in the most receptive mood. I’m

Even though he probably deserves an apology, I can’t seem to bring myself to give him one. Sure, I
might have come storming in here with zero evidence and a bit of a vendetta, but we haven’t been on
the best of terms for a while now. He can’t really blame me for thinking it was him. Wouldn’t he suspect
me too if something like this happened to him?
“I can’t believe this,” I say, dropping the report back down on the desk when I’m done reading. The
