An Expensive Hire

While Leo, Bella, and their escorts set off in the direction of Seneris, Michael was busy furthering his own plans.

In the week that it took Damon and Wanda to travel, he went around to speak with someone he had once fought with, William.

The man in question was currently grumbling as he sat opposite Michael in a meeting room back in his underground base.

"What do you want?" He grunted and crossed his arms, displaying his displeasure.

"Oh, come on. Can't I just come around to see how you are doing?" Michael laughed and opened his arms. He was very much aware that William absolutely did not want to see him, as Michael's triumph over him still stung his inflated pride.

"..." William just remained silent and continued to stare at Michael, while Sarah had a tense posture where she stood behind him.
