Zachary had no interest in the exact manner their partnership had begun, nor what other projects the duo had launched together.
His only goal was to clarify whether or not Michael’s dealings with the Gold family pertained to him.
Zachary placed the folder back onto the table and summoned Bruce to investigate.
Just as Bruce was about to depart after receiving his orders, the secretary returned with the news of a Mr. Brown requesting an audience with Zachary.
Bruce switched the focus of the monitor to the surveillance camera overlooking the reception. Sure enough, Michael was standing in wait.
Zachary ordered for Michael to be shown up at his office.
“Should I proceed with the investigation, Sir?” Bruce asked.
Zachary nodded. “Definitely. Inform me the second you find something.”
“Yes, Mr. Nacht.” Bruce departed smartly.
Not long after that, Michael was ushered up into Zachary’s office. He appeared nervous and unsettled.
Zachary, on the other hand, was much more at ease as he gestured boisterously to the seats.
After reappearing with a cup of coffee for the guest, Lucy retreated tactfully into the shadows of the room.
“To what do I owe the pleasure, Mr. Brown?” Zachary cut right to the chase.
Michael hesitated. “I was supposed to speak to Charlotte about this but she is currently abroad. She told me to speak to you instead.”
