Chapter 1358

Susan stepped away from the cold, marble gravestones, her heart heavy with loss. Yet as she dialed Callum’s number, a sly smile played at the corners of her lips, her grief momentarily displaced by a cunning ploy.

“Mr. Gordon, how have you been holding up?” she cooed into the phone, her voice dripping with feigned concern.

“Cut to the chase,” came Callum’s icy reply.

Their relationship was strictly business. There was no warmth there. If Susan was calling, she wanted something. Empty pleasantries were useless to him, and he had no desire to hear them.
