"Ms. Blackwood said that it's the critical period now, so she could not call you herself. That's why she has sent me."
I have already known about William and me. But why didn't she even call?
While Wayne was still trying to clear his doubts, the man approached him abruptly and whispered in his ears. "Tonight at eight o'clock sharp, Ms. Blackwood would like you to bring thirty million to Private Room One at Baykeep Coffee House. She will be waiting for you."
"Are you kidding me? Thirty million? How am I supposed to get this much money in one day?"
Wayne's heart fell with a thud when he heard this. Even if he had commit lots of embezzlement, there was no possible way he could find thirty
million within such short notice.
"My job is to deliver this message to you. It is up to you to decide if you are going to obey it or not. Frankly, it is none of my business. But if you decide not to go, I don't know what will happen to you tomorrow. Hahaha..."
The man finished his mission and left the office with a sinister chuckle, leaving Wayne all befuddled.
"Mr. Norton, everything is in place. Mr. Goldstein said he had completed what you said."
Meanwhile, back at Fabian's office, he could finally be relieved after receiving a call from his assistant.
Soon, the night began to swallow the world, yet the whole city was still as bright as day because of the neon lights from the skyscrapers.
While Fabian was driving home, he received a call from Hannah. Hannah said on the phone that she had prepared a lot of delicious dishes.
Hearing that, Fabian drove at full speed and reached home in a blink of an eye. He then entered the kitchen to a table full of his favorite dishes.
"Are you back already? I didn't know you would be so eager to try out my dishes.” Hannah let out a hearty laugh when she noticed Fabian behind her.
