Before calling it a day, I went to William’s office. As always, when his appointments were finished, I knew I could find him there. I gently entered the dim lit room. He was on the phone. He was pacing back and forth behind his desk whilst speaking on the phone. He gestured to me to wait a moment. I watched him. A concentrated expression on his face, speaking concisely and to the point, his words were clear and sufficient. He was not a man to get tied up in endless discussions.
When he was done, he went back to his desk and notes something on his computer and then looked up at me. “Miss Davis…”
“Sir, here’s the file you asked for.” I kept Nick’s file on his desk and observed his reaction. His eyes fixed on the file a minute.
“Okay, thank you.”
The atmosphere was strange.
