Chapter 807

• The car was silent as they drove to the meeting place, everyone lost in his thoughts. Perhaps, the tension was heightened by the fact that their boss, Daniel, has been rigid and distant since the ride. He must be thinking about the many ways things could go wrong tonight, they assumed. Not knowing that Daniel had a different thought altogether.
• Daniel was pragmatic and thought no further about the exchange tonight having already made plans that would ensure its success. Sure, they were walking in blind and things could go wrong, but what was the use worrying? It would only make him nervous and that state of mind tends to lead to mistakes. He had to be cool-headed enough to protect his team. That was his role as a leader.
• In reality, Daniel was filled with anticipation and longing instead. He couldn’t wait to go back to his wife, no, he means Angelina. Obviously, she wasn’t his wife yet. But then, he would make that a reality as soon as Eric approves of his deal. He couldn’t marry Angelina yet not with the tension between both of their families. He would need Eric’s permission as well to whisk her away.
