Chapter 335

I was in a real pickle, wondering if I should hand over the USB stick to Neil.

Neil went silent for a bit, then chuckled, “Didn’t want to tell me earlier, huh? Keeping me at arm’s length?”

That question was a bit awkward because I was indeed keeping him at bay. Only after all we’ve been through those days did I decide to hand over the document. It was the last piece of the puzzle between us.
