They were Mark and Evelyn.
"I hope that Finnick's company shuts down soon so that I can show myself," Evelyn said as she primped the hair she had done up the very same day. She was reasonably satisfied with the situation at present.
"Glad to hear that. Remember to let me know the second it's proven successful." Mark smiled as a devious glint flashed across his eyes.
"Naturally," Evelyn replied smugly. "I'll figure out a way to free you after Finnick and I get together."
Mark has proved to be a tremendous asset to her even while behind bars.
There was no way she could have been able to come up with such a brilliant scheme by herself if
not for him.
Evelyn was one who knew to pay her dues.
"Please accept my thanks in advance."
Finnick was able to recover after a night's rest.
Seeing that Vivian had not stirred, he got up quietly to get dressed and washed up.
By the time he stepped out, Noah was already waiting for him on the couch downstairs.
When Finnick came down the steps, he motioned for Noah to remain seated.
Finnick then regarded the man intently, ready to hear about his findings.
"I've got something, Mr. Norton," Noah said, looking quite emotional.
There was not much about Peter's squeaky clean background to dig into, and that conveniently made the investigation process much smoother.
"Go ahead. Speak." Finnick made himself comfortable and looked to his personal assistant in keen anticipation.
"Peter met up with Evelyn a week ago."
"Where?"
"At the office."
With that, Finnick had some inkling as to how things suddenly went downhill for them.
So Evelyn was the one who instigated all this.
Finnick massaged his forehead to soothe his own vexation. He would be able to fix this himself if it was the result of an oversight on the part of the
company.
