Rebecca started browsing the pages.
After a few minutes, he stopped at a document.
— Interesting.
I felt my stomach tightens.
- What is it?
— A $187,000 consultancy issued by Sterling Strategic Partners. Services are described as market analysis and strategic development. But I don’t see any attached report, no project correspondence and no documented result.
The Chief Financial Officer agreed.
We didn’t find the deliverables either. The payments were processed through an approval stream that had been modified.
Rebecca raised her gaze.
Who changed the flow?
“A special administrator, he replied. The account was associated with Julian.
I felt my blood freeze.
And no one noticed?
The chief financial officer lowered his gaze.
There were signals, Sloane. But the bills were split between several projects, and the documents looked approved. We should have checked more closely.
I squeezed my fists under the table.
I want to find out everything.
Rebecca agreed.
