Chapter 195 The Game Table Test
Finished
The network of interests behind this project was bound to be tangled and complex.
Wyatt raised a brow. “I’ve run into a tough nut. Want to help me crack it?”
Yunice replied, “If you think I can be of use, then I’m in.”
From the driver’s seat, Jordan chuckled as he turned the wheel. “That’s more like it. Ms. Saunders and Wyatt should be on the same team–Wyatt will treat you right.”
Wyatt kicked the back of Jordan’s seat hard enough that Jordan nearly crashed into the wheel.
The meeting was set at a private club. When Yunice followed Wyatt inside, she spotted a middle- laged man in a gray vest playing pool..
Jordan leaned in and murmured, “That’s our target for today.”
Yunice took a closer look, mentally assigning herself the role of assistant.
She figured she was here to help, same as Jordan.
