What idea should I have to belong?
Vanessa turned white in her face.
Ryan is getting up.
-
Daniel…
-
Shut Up.
I looked at the papers on the table.
It was an investment proposal.
Companies we didn’t recognize.
Transfers.
Financial projections.
And my name.
What the hell is that?
Vanessa is coming to me.
I can explain.
Then explain it.
It’s not what you think.
I started laughing.
At that point I understood how stupid that sentence is.
I used it with Margaret so many times.
I’m out.
I didn’t transfer any other money.
The next morning I spoke to the lawyer and my accountant.
I learned that some of the amounts I had already transferred had to be carefully analyzed and that I had to immediately protect my access to personal accounts and the company.
I didn’t discover a cinematic conspiracy overnight.
But I discovered enough.
Vanessa was lying to me.
