The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan
Chapter 454
As the quartet happily indulged in a cozy fondue dinner, Leopold brought over the documents from headquarters.
Peering through the empty doorway, Leopold hesitated, unsure whether to enter.
He texted Anna: [Where are you guys?]
Anna, who had not quite finished chewing her lamb, hit the voice message button, “On a mission, gotta stick to Ms. Vivienne like glue.”
Vivienne said, “Just drop the stuff off, and don’t be a nuisance. You mess up the deal, I’ll break your legs.”
Percival added his own threat, “I’ll dislocate your arm.”
Thomas kept it simple, “Good luck, man!”
Listening to the sounds of bubbling fondue, fizzing sodas, and the stubborn mastication of lamb, Leopold was in disbelief.
Was this really a mission?
This was sheer torture!
But he had no choice; he had to deliver the documents quickly.
Griffin had already sent a reminder in the Little Bombs group chat – a special group Vivienne had created for convenience.
With no other option, Leopold donned a mask and hat, covering himself completely, and entered Griffin’s home.
The evening was setting in, and Griffin had only a desk lamp on, leaving the main lights off.
Three different-colored pens lay strewn across documents, each marking various annotations.
Leopold cleared his throat gently, but Griffin showed no reaction.
He moved closer and tapped Griffin’s head with the documents, “Hey, the papers…”
“Ah!”
