It came out of nowhere. And the tone James used on the phone was not the usual arrogant, boastful tone he was known for. This time, James sounded desperate. Very desperate. He said something that immediately caught Lovie off guard. He said, "I know someone is behind Cora... I know someone is giving her strength, giving her information. I need you to help me find out who it is. I'll make it worth your while, more than you can imagine."
And the way James mentioned "worth your while," Lovie couldn't help but swallow hard.
He had barely processed the words before James began listing what he was willing to offer. Money. A house. Even a permanent position in one of his new companies. It was tempting, very, very tempting. Lovi had never been offered such wealth in exchange for a single job.
But then again... that job? that one simple request?
