Chapter 31

Perseus said to Faith, "Thank you for having faith in me. I will work hard." Faith hummed softly in response. … At 10:00 am, a red Volkswagen Beetle headed toward a company called Blue Ocean. Upon arrival, Faith approached the front desk with Perseus and inquired, "I have an appointment with Mr. Green. Is he available?" After the receptionist verified the appointment with a call, she directed Faith and Perseus to the fifth floor. In the president's office, Zachary Green sat with his legs crossed. He stroked his chin as he eyed Faith with a predatory glint; her short skirt and black stockings seemed to hold his gaze a beat too long. Yet, a prickle of unease snaked down his spine as he flicked his eyes to the figure standing silently behind Faith. "Mr. Green, it's good to see you again," Faith greeted, disregarding his suggestive gaze as she shook his hand. "Ms. Lawrence, welcome. Please, have a seat!" Zachary gestured for them to sit and asked his secretary to bring coffee.
