“I knew you were a smart woman, Ms. Laurier,” Hannah said. She had expected more of a fight, but then again, a person like Sandra rarely inspired true loyalty.
The fact that Sandra had to offer up such an expensive necklace proved she had to buy Gloria’s cooperation.
Gloria, however, couldn’t manage a smile. She stood frozen, unsure if she should leave, terrified that Hannah would call her back again.
When Hannah remained silent, Gloria finally worked up the courage to ask, “May I go now?”
Hannah nodded. “I’ll have our driver take you home.”
“No, that’s not necessary!” Gloria quickly refused, worried that Hannah wasn’t being kind but was simply trying to find out where she lived.
“Alright then. But…” Hannah drew out the word, her eyes fixed on the necklace around Gloria’s neck.
“When you go to see Mr. Rosenberg, remember to wear this. If he refuses to meet with you, just tell him Hannah sent you.”
Gloria nodded, but just as she turned to leave, Hannah stopped her again, this time only to get her contact information.
After she left, Hannah and Samuel settled in the living room to watch TV.
Half an hour passed, and neither Gary nor Cherry reappeared.
“Can you believe them? That’s a brother and sister for you. Same rotten attitude. They bring a guest home and then just abandon her,” Samuel said with disgust.
“It worked out well, though,” Hannah replied. “She did me a huge favor.” She was already looking forward to seeing the meeting between Gloria and Lionel.
The next day at lunchtime, Hannah and Samuel left work and drove to the address Gloria had sent them.
