From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 206

“So I’m playing it safe now. Like you said, psychologists all have their own baggage. I’m honestly worried he might do something reckless one day.”

If Adolphus hadn’t gotten wind of Earl’s thoughts, he would have already checked Harrell into a wellness center. Between Earl and Harrell, he definitely trusted Harrell more.

“Let me handle it. I’ll get Earl to invite me over, and then I’ll fill you in on what’s really going on.”

With the serious stuff settled, Harrell checked the time. “Looks like we’re about done here, right? I’m starving.”

“Just about. Let me tidy up, and we can head out. By the way, I didn’t get a chance to ask yesterday—Edison and Orville wouldn’t show up here for no reason. What are they after?”

“They want to team up with FarrVector. They spent all day waiting in line for a meeting and still didn’t get in. Heard they’re planning to try again tomorrow.”

Adolphus let out a soft laugh, clearly not surprised. So that’s what they were up to. If they’d just mentioned it at dinner yesterday, a deal might already be done.

“You have a contact at FarrVector?”

Harrell caught the look on Adolphus’s face and knew he was hiding something. “They were just complaining in the group chat. FarrVector’s crazy popular. They’re worried all the partnership spots will be gone before they get a chance. Why don’t you help them out? We’re all friends here, and you know The Brown Group and The Williams Group have solid reputations. FarrVector wouldn’t lose anything by working with them.”

“Alright, I’ll message the person in charge and see what she says.”

“Why text? A phone call would be faster. Or is it awkward for her to take your call?” Harrell teased, grinning. In Cabinda, getting a call from Adolphus was like winning the lottery.

Adolphus smiled down at his phone as he typed. “It actually is a little awkward with her.”
