Ivan frowned dismissively and stepped closer, his hand reaching out to grip her shoulder with unmistakable force. "Does it matter? I don't care what actually happened. I want you to cut all ties with VistaLink Technologies-now. If you do, you can have any position you want at TerraGreen Solutions. Name it."
