The Woman From Hell

Sitting in the office, phone in hand, I listened to the instructions the person on the other side was giving.

"Nibel will definitely look for you in the next few days. All you need to do is listen to what he says when the time comes."

I frowned as I asked with narrowed eyes, "You heard something?"

"Yes. Remember to cooperate with him. By the way, do you want to participate in the bidding for North Courts?"

The news spread quickly.

Nodding, I agreed. "I do. I can't just sit and wait. My objective this time is actually to let the Yards know that we're not alone now. I have no interest in land development or splitting the profits. If it works, it works." "You have the right idea, but you should be careful. The Yards are not one to be pushed around, and since you're going to be doing just that, you ought to deal with them properly. Let me know if you need me."

I felt a hint of warmth in my heart. Lips pursed, I smiled lightly. "Of course. I'll look for you when I can no longer bear it."

"And one more thing."

"What is it?"

"I heard you followed Gareth Zeke after you failed to convince him but were discovered?"
