"How did you find out where we were having dinner?" Quennel's voice was ice.
The line went silent as Sandra scrambled for an answer.
"Sandra, you're getting bolder."
"No, that's not it, Mr. Rosenberg. Today was just a coinc—"
He hung up before she could finish. Sandra stared at the dark screen, her fingers hovering over the keypad, wanting to call back but lacking the courage. If he found out about the informant she had planted in his circle, her fate would be...
A shiver ran down her spine at the thought.
Quennel ended the call and looked at the young woman kneeling before him.
She was trembling, her hands pressed to the floor, too terrified to look up as she confessed how Sandra had orchestrated her "chance encounter" at the restaurant.
"Mr. Rosenberg, what should we do with her?" his assistant, Louis, asked.
Quennel's gaze was dark and calculating. "Keep her for now."
Louis nodded and had the woman taken away.
"Sir, according to our investigation, Ms. Green and Mr. Lionel Rosenberg only signed a divorce agreement at the hospital. They never filed it with the civil affairs bureau," Louis reported, handing him a photograph.
"He was so blinded by anger he forgot the proper procedure," Quennel murmured, his thumb stroking Hannah's image in the photo. A fond, exasperated smile touched his lips. "Have you spoken with the Woods family?"
"Yes, sir. Mr. and Mrs. Woods have agreed. They will meet with us in two days to discuss the details."
