“It’s just dinnertime; let’s have dinner together,” Everett suggested, eyeing Doretta closely. He was quietly impressed. ‘She’s so composed, exactly the type who could turn on Emma and Ellar.’ “Mr. Wright, based on what I’ve seen, Ellar is in a tight spot but is trying to hide it,” Doretta got straight to the point. “He’s spent the afternoon scheming to lessen BayCorp’s losses.”

“What do you mean?” Everett’s curiosity piqued, his eyebrows arching.

Doretta let out a sigh. “It’s unfortunate he believes he’s outsmarting everyone, thinking he can offload BayCorp’s assets now. You wouldn’t let that happen, would you, Mr. Wright?”

Everett’s smirk was telling. “You’re spot-on.” Allowing Ell ar any leeway was out of the question. His plan was to take everything BayCorp had.

“You’re not joining?” Everett inquired.
