For a moment, neither spoke.
Then his phone rang.
The caller ID made his expression change.
“Who is it?” Jasmine asked.
Aaron didn’t answer.
He stood.
“Excuse me.”
He walked into the adjoining conference room and closed the door.
Then he answered.
“Hello?”
The voice on the other end spoke only one sentence.
Aaron’s face went pale.
“What?”
A pause.
“You’re certain?”
Another pause.
His hand tightened around the phone.
“No.”
He shook his head.
“That can’t be right.”
The caller said something else.
Aaron slowly sat down.
“What do you mean the ownership records changed?”
Silence.
Then Aaron whispered:
“Who authorized it?”
The answer came.
His blood ran cold.
