Juan explained, "I couldn't show up in front of her. I could only give her a hint." Drake was swayed, and he continued, "I could have just left, but I chose to warn her. You can ask her for confirmation. If she hadn't seen me, she wouldn't have checked the car." Drake paused. "Fine, let's say you're telling the truth. But I didn't invite you to Orkgate.

Don't you think you're being a bit heartless?" "Don't you always want a foothold in Seamar City? With those shares, you'll have the power to stand- against Marion. All you have to do is tear up one document. It shouldn't be too hard for you." Drake fell silent, mulling over the offer. Getting the shares would secure his position in Seamar but ve would also mean a fallout with Debra.

Juan turned to leave. "I've given you the solution. The choice is yours. is "Wait," Drake called out.
Juan stopped in his tracks. "Anything else?" "Use the back door," Drake said. "We've got company."
Earlier in his car, he had noticed a taxi tailing him. It must be Debra. "Thanks."
