Chapter 777: Half The Money

"What happened? Where did you go?"

The man jolted as he returned to their little observation room to find his partner had returned.

"You're back?" he asked, arching an eyebrow. "Did you handle everything? Have they increased security on the flights leaving the country like we discussed?"

The woman shook her head, a small chuckle escaping her lips. "No," she replied, waving a hand dismissively. "That won't be necessary. Here," she added, tossing a small envelope onto the table, "your tickets. And as promised, the money has already been transferred into your account. You can leave whenever you're ready. We won't be leaving together. They've discovered that a man and a woman are involved so they won't necessarily expect one person to leave earlier."

She watched as he casually pulled out his phone, swiping the screen until his bank balance appeared before his eyes. His grin widened.
