The prospect of Sabrina involving the police or exposing the footage sent shivers down her spine.
Yet, an inkling told her that Sabrina might opt for negotiation instead...
As these thoughts swirled within her mind, her phone rang once more.
Glancing at the caller ID, Galilea discerned that the call was originating from Sabrina.
Aware that Sabrina had likely dialed her number for the sake of negotiations, Galilea began to regain her composure.
However, she felt compelled to establish some ground rules beforehand. Sabrina’s tenure as her assistant had been rather brief.
Fortune had certainly favored Sabrina.
Summoning a deep breath, Galilea answered the call with a measured tone, “Hello.”
Sabrina, unapologetically direct, questioned, “Where are you right now?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Don’t feign ignorance. The memory card is currently in my possession.
You wouldn’t want me to involve the authorities, would you?”
Upon hearing Sabrina’s unwavering voice, Galilea momentarily hesitated before inquiring, “You’re not intoxicated at all, are you?”
Sabrina remained steadfast, refusing to be diverted. “Let’s not change the subject.”
After deliberation, Galilea ventured forth. “Alright, tell me your terms.”
I want you to immediately provide a statement against the suspect.” promise you that I will be there tomorrow.”
“Why?” Sabrina inquired.
“I’m entangled in something pressing right now. I can’t make it there,” Galilea replied.
Concerned, Sabrina probed further, “What’s going on?”
“I have a party to attend and it’s in full swing already. This opportunity is hard-won and if I skip it, I’LL face repercussions. If you
can’t wait, feel free to involve the police but be warned, if you do, I won’t testify on your behalf!” Galilea asserted.
Contemplating Hobson’s still-mysterious whereabouts, Sabrina fell silent for a moment before finally conceding, “Alright, I’ll meet
you at the court tomorrow morning. But if you fail to show up, rest assured, I’ll promptly hand over the evidence to the
authorities.” Galilea reassured her, “Fear not, I won’t joke about my future.”
After ending the call, Galilea proceeded to dial a number.
A few seconds later, the call connected and a male voice emanated from the other end, inquiring, “What’s the matter?”
“Our plans have taken an unexpected turn. You need to leave before tomorrow!”
Astonished, the man on the other end questioned, “But don’t I have a month?”
“No time for questions! If you’re caught, we’ll be done for!” Galilea admonished, her voice tinged with urgency.
