“The Vault of Sins”

Just minutes after Irene fled the building, Andrew’s imposing figure strode through the sliding glass doors of James's corporate headquarters. The lobby was vast and echoing, but Andrew moved with the silent, predatory grace of a man who owned the world.He crossed paths with Kate near the elevators. She stiffened, clearly caught off guard."Mr Andrew," Kate said, plastering on a brittle, professional smile. "You're here. What a beautiful surprise."Andrew’s eyes were dead, betraying no amusement.
