Debra chuckled, “Sometimes, you're really cheap.”
Marion said seriously, “But I'm always honest with you, dear.”
“Really?”
“Absolutely.”
“Then how do you explain the eight billion dollars you costat our first meeting?”
Marion took a sip of his tea and grimaced. “This tea’s gone cold. Letget you a fresh cup.

“Cathryn’s crush on you is public knowledge here. Are you planning to hand her fresh gossip on a silver platter?”

“Boring?”
“Totally.”
“His company is linked to the drug trade. Wealthy elites hold X-rated soirées. His fiancée was forced into
unspeakable acts before committing suicide.”
Garland’s eyes sparkled. “And? Anything more?”
“You want to know?”
Garland nodded vigorously, and Juan tossed a stack of files into his hands. “Read it yourself.”
