you. I can only offer you this warning so you can be prepared.”
Cherise furrowed her brow and sighed. “Thank you.”

turned to Damien instinctively.
Damien furrowed his brow. “How did you know Gwenn?”

Since Gwenn had gotten the research papers, Cherise suspected she might want to cause trouble with
the copyright.
Mr. Whitlock was enjoying a drink at the restaurant. “Why do you want to retract it? Your paper is so
