Jack didn't even have to wait after dialing as Olivia picked up the call in the second ring.
Her voice came through syrupy sweet, the kind she only used when she sensed opportunity. "Jack, darling. Calling me at this time? Did something happen?"
Jack pressed a hand over his eyes. "Yes, something happened. Something bad."
A pause and then a small inhale followed.
"What did you do?" Olivia asked slowly and almost affectionately.
Jack lowered his voice. "Alexander left for Heinberg today, personally. He is going to inspect the site."
"Oh." That single syllable was icy and sharp.
"What exactly is he going to 'inspect'?" she asked, her tone stretching the word.
Jack swallowed. "The—irregularities and the complaints which were reported to the regulatory board ."
Olivia clicked her tongue. "Jack, please don't tell me you were stupid enough to get involved in that."
