Chapter 99: THE PICTURE (1)

He deserved it, a taste of his own medicine. She waited a few seconds longer before answering the phone-call.

"Hello, sir," Isabella said, her voice calm and unbothered. The last time she took her job seriously, he didn’t appreciate it, so she decided not to put in too much effort this time.
