Mr Bellini looks uncomfortable and I almost feel sorry for him. I can only imagine the anger that will probably be directed at him when he relays Angel’s demands.

He shifts nervously and says in a slightly strained voice, “I think you should brief Miss. Johnson on how Mr. Moretti operates. He will not take kindly to her demands and we both know he’s not a man to be dictated to.”

Despite the fact I feel fear tying my insides in knots, I look at him coolly. “Miss. Johnson was right to be angry. She is the majority shareholder in this business and deserves respect. Mr. Moretti is the minor shareholder and although this may be a small part of his empire, if he values it, he will attend. You see, Mr. Bellini, Miss. Johnson has no loyalty to this company. She is balancing between walking away and staying to make a go of it. One thing could sway her either way. Now, if Mr. Moretti is as good a businessman as I think he is, he will see the opportunity before him. He may be a minority shareholder now but that could change if he offers to buy her out. Surely, one meeting is worth that at least?”

I see the greed spark a gleam in Mr. Bellini’s eyes and we both know I have thrown him a lifeline. However he dresses my words up, it gives him the power to present a much more attractive demand to his boss. Yes, Tobias would be a fool not to be sitting in that seat tomorrow because I’ve seen the plans going forward and Johnson’s plastics stands to be a business worth billions in the future if it’s handled the right way. I just hope that Angel has seen the same vision because she would be a fool to turn her back on it.

Pamela shows Mr. Bellini out and I head purposefully toward Angel’s office. I now have 24 hours to make sure she doesn’t do the unthinkable and turn her back on this business because there’s so much at stake for all of us. However, as I pass Dora, she calls out, “If you’re looking for Angel she left.”

“Left?”

I stare at her in surprise and she smiles ruefully. “Said she needed to let off some steam.”

“Where did she go?”

Dora shrugs. “She didn’t say.”

I feel the irritation bubbling up inside and snap. “If she calls in, pass her to me. In fact, can you try her cell, it’s urgent I speak to her?”

Dora looks worried and reaches for her phone. “Of course, sir.”

I watch as she dials the number and waits. After a few rings she says quietly, “I’m sorry to trouble you, Angel but Mr. Stone would like a word.”

There’s a brief pause and then she replaces the receiver. “Um… she told me to tell you to um…”

She looks uncomfortable, “Um…go to hell, sir.”

I say nothing and turn away before Dora sees the amusement her words bring. I can almost see Angel saying them with her eyes flashing and her stubborn mouth forming the smart reply.
