Howard dismissed it with a wave of his hand. “It must

be a mistake on their part. Mary is so good to Keera.

How could they sue us!”

He looked at his secretary, “But on the R&D

department’s end, the proposal wasn’t submitted on time, was it?”

The secretary immediately replied, “Mr. Smith, our core staff member in the R&D department was poached last month. He came to you asking for a raise,
