Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

"I understand."

I heard a beep as the masked man ended the call.

I couldn't see him, so I could only beg him anxiously.

"Sir, you heard him. It's a matter of life and death. You can do whatever you want to me by pretending to be Roman, but please allow me to save them first. I must see him tonight and give him the contract, or he will kill my friend!"

It was a long while before the man answered. I wished I could see him, wished I could get this awful blindfold off.

When he finally spoke, he asked, "What contract?"

There was no world in which I was actually going to tell him anything tangible. "It's just a project contract."

I heard the clicks of what sounded like him dialing a number on his phone, and then he said unhurriedly, "No worries. I can just call Roman back to go over the specifics."

Shit.

Double shit.
