Chapter 8 - THE MAN AT THE BOARDROOM TABLE Monday morning.
Daniel Hollis entered the NexusPay boardroom smiling.
“Good to have you back.”
Adrienne returned the smile.
“Good to be back.”
For ninety minutes she behaved normally.
Quarterly revenue.
Expansion.
Compliance.
Then she casually mentioned an internal forensic audit.
Daniel’s pen stopped.
Only for half a second.
But Adrienne saw it.
After the meeting she watched him leave.
Her head of security approached.
“He made a phone call.”
“To whom?”
“Burner number.”
“Location?”
Security placed a photograph on the table.
Daniel had driven directly to Arthur Sterling’s estate.

Adrienne stared at the image.
The betrayal was bigger than she thought.
