Love Unspoken

"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to talk, don't. Just figure out a method to return the assets you've transferred," Alexander stated with an icy detachment. Upon hearing this, Walter couldn't suppress a laugh.

"Really, Alexander, do you consider that to be a suitable request?" he asked.

"Your words, not mine, Walter. You're fully aware of the situation, no need to feign innocence. I assure you, this conversation isn't being recorded," Alexander retorted. Walter's hand, clutching a cigarette, froze momentarily. From the instant he had stepped into the car, his dialogue with Alexander had been meticulously guarded.

He harbored a nagging fear that Alexander might have a concealed recording device, ready to capture any indiscretion. One false step could mean he wouldn't be seeing the outside of the Kennedy family's residence that evening.

Walter was startled by the speed at which Alexander had cut through his motives. He had always known Alexander to be a formidable adversary, which was why he had been strictly adhering to the rules at the firm for the past two years, patiently waiting for his moment. Now, just when Walter thought he had an opening, Alexander had swiftly turned the tables. It was time to reevaluate this man.
