He added, "If you want people, ask Marion. I don't have any." With that, he turned to leave. Until he reached the door, Debra didn't call after him.

"I've investigated the venue, and there's a catch." "What catch?" "The designer from the brand proposed a 'Mystery Lady' thfor the banquet. Every guest is required to wear a blindfold before arriving. The venue is secret, so we can't set up in advance." "What kind of gis this? There's no information we can't dig up in Orkgate.

"The Trennery family might have sclout in Orkgate but they're hot qualified to collaborate with me."
Drake tossed the card back to Kale and turned to leave. But then m something Debra had said about Ivan being problematic cto mind.
If Ivan was an issue, the Trennery family might be one as well. This could be a good chance to probe them. "Boss?" "The Trennery family isn't worth partnering with, but having dinner with them is fine." Kale was confused because Drake hated social engagements, especially with outsiders.
