One Step Closer
Gael was taken aback by the announcement. It hadn't even been twelve hours, and Ivanovich had already taken the deal.
Slowly sitting up, he ran a hand down his face. Was this real? Did Volkov really sign the deal?
Angela shifted beside him and was also now sitting, a white sheet covering her breasts and tucked under her arms. Her brows raised as she wondered who he was speaking to. Gael held the phone between them and pressed the loudspeaker.
"Where is Pavel headed to?" he asked.
"He'll drop it off at your house. Are you still in Williamsburg?"
Angela's eyes widened, realizing whose voice it was and what was going on. She hadn't heard the first part of the conversation, but she had already put the pieces together.
"Yes. What time?"
"He'll be there in 10. When will I expect your end of the deal?"
"Soon."
"How soon?"
"As soon as I speak to my lawyer."
