NovelXXXTheda was implying something, and Debra probed, "I don't think so. Drake rules Orkgate, and I'm staying in his house. Who would dare to touch me?" "Who knows?" Theda shrugged. "There's always someone stronger. Drake may not be the true top dog here." She stood up, smoothing out her clothes. "Robert's actions were a mistake on my part, so consider the shares as compensation. Now we're even, and I'll compete with you fairly." With that, she left with her bodyguards.
Debra glanced down at the document and put it away. The purpose of the meeting was clear, but it was surprising that Theda hadn't fussed over Robert's injury.
In a way, Theda was an upright opponent, but business wars needed no morals.

Debra turned and saw them shaken. Apparently, they were afraid those two burly bodyguards might return.
"Let's go," Debra said calmly.

In this situation, hailing a cab could be dangerous too. If they knew she was at the airport, they must also have known the details about the meeting. Clearly, they were trying to stop her from getting the shares.
A call was made, and she asked, "What did he says he coming?" "Mr. Lowe told us to wait for him." "And?" "He hung up." "Then we wait."
15 minutes later, the roar of an engine came. A red sports car m e stopped in front of them, followed by two vans.
Drake got out of the car and cup to check their vehicle.
Debra glanced at him and said, "No need to look. It can still be repaired."
