After talking Leo off the ledge, Willow dialed Arthur Vance. She didn't want him finding out about the project transfer through the corporate grapevine.
Upon hearing the news, Arthur said smoothly, "If this displeases you, Ms. Horgan, we can immediately sever all ties with the Sinclair Group."
Willow was touched, but quickly declined. While she led the projects, hundreds of employees relied on that contract for their paychecks. She wouldn't destroy their livelihoods over a personal vendetta.
"As you wish, Ms. Horgan," Arthur replied, thoroughly respectful.
After hanging up, Arthur glanced at Silas Thorne, utterly bewildered. The billionaire's face was dark as a thundercloud. Arthur had followed his exact instructions, giving Willow full autonomy and respecting her choices without pressure.
Sweating slightly, Arthur braced himself. "Mr. Thorne, did I say something wrong?"
Silas ignored him, his jaw clenched tight. Just as Arthur was mentally drafting his resignation letter, Silas abruptly spoke. "What's the best cough and cold medicine available in Seattle?"
Arthur blinked, instantly shifting into crisis mode. "Are you feeling ill, Sir? Should I call the private physician?"
"Not for me," Silas snapped, irritated by Arthur's denseness. "Get it done. Buy every premium cold remedy in the city."
Not for him?
