Athena read Ethan's message twice, just to fully understand what he was talking about.
Clement wanted out of the country—with the money made from the shares buyback?
It was safe to say that he suspected his hide was about to be bruised tremendously.
So he wasn't that dumb after all. She mused, a faint, knowing smile curving her lips when Gianna's call came through her phone.
"Hey babes, did Ethan call you?"
"Yes," Athena replied smoothly. "How soon will you be back?"
"Very soon… we are already en route to the state."
"Okay, I'll stall him then. You're with the lawyer?"
"Yes, he came with us. Spider should have sent you a rundown of our meeting with Bentley…"
Athena raised a brow. She had been too engaged earlier to really check her phone—until Ethan's message had popped up and demanded her attention.
"I'll check it out then. Take care, and see you soon. You can trust me to handle the matter until you're back."
"Of course, Athena. Thank you."
