Chapter 288: Getting Ready II

"How many times are you going to stare at that message?" Sandro asked, amusement coloring his voice when he stepped into Ewan’s office and found his friend smiling sheepishly at his phone.

He subtly peered into his friend’s phone to confirm his suspicions; chuckling when he discovered he was right.

Ewan hissed in response, gesturing for Sandro to leave his side with a flick of his hand twice.

"Don’t you have more files to peruse?"

Sandro shook his head. "Not at all. I’m free as letter Z."

Ewan frowned, trying to grasp what was so special about Z, and when he couldn’t, his glare on Sandro intensified. This time, irritation joined the mix. "Are you done working on the Vernon’s case? The one with the overseas company?"

Sandro pouted, slipping his hands into the pockets of his slick navy blue pants. "That’s a work for tomorrow."
