Chapter 211

“Got any dirt for me?” I said with a half–smirk.

I needed the connections just as much as Melody did. Better to strike first than to take the hits. With Dexter laid up, it was my chance to solidify Colin’s standing in the Langley Group.

Nobody dares cross him. We each fend for ourselves, but…don’t ruin my chances.”
