Chapter 62: Family Meeting, Part 1

[Tang & Partners, See Hoy Chan Tower]

After Reginald hit the call button, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them, he forced a smile before he spoke on the phone.

“Hi, Bob. About our meeting today… can we push it to 4:00 p.m.?”

“Why? Are you busy today?” Bob asked.

“Well, your stepmother called up and she’s really giving me a headache about Jackie and the necklace. I really don’t know where she heard it from…”

“She could only have heard it from you, Reggie…” Bob cut him off without mincing his words.

Reginald stiffened. He was very familiar with Bob’s character and chose to avoid a confrontation if he could. And he knew precisely how he could get himself out of the line of fire.

“Exactly! I was thinking the same -- it may have been Ralph. He was in my office when I was discussing the matter with your *Dai Sou*. I wouldn’t put it past him to carry back tales to his mother. That brother of yours… always poking his nose in other people’s business!”
