Reunification: verb To cause group, party, state, or sect to becoh the San Francisco St Regis Hotel was large and stately, Tony didn’t notice, andplace there was a fiasco and getting worse by the minute Initially, he’d planned to attend to have an opportunity to speak with Derek Burke It was all arranged The CEO of Shedis-tics, Roger Cunningham, promised Burke’s presence The only issue was Derek’s wife, Sophia Tony wasn’t ready to come face to face with Sophia quite yet He’d been to too many of her art exhibitions, and they’d crossed paths more times than he was sure she realized Tony didn’t want her to have a revelation in the e charity function
That hy he’d ordered Mr George, from the Palo Alto art studio, to send Sophia back to Provincetown It was a legitis, and he wanted his purchases He also wanted to see e nor Tony expected was for Derek to fly with Sophia to the Cape and help her gather her collection Together they’d ed to accomplish her mission in days instead of weeks Now, at this ridiculously expensive Friday-night celebration, both Mr and Mrs Derek Burke were present and awaiting Anthony Rawlings
If that weren’t enough to send Tony’s private life into overdrive, there was plenty uest list for the gala The Rawlings Industries’ security personnel customarily reviewed these lists prior to events It was one of the many mundane steps that assured their CEO’s safety This tiht Patricia’s attention was Claire Nichols
When Tony read his ex-wife’s naurative floor dropped out fro escorted by Harrison Baldwin; they were the official SiJo Ga and Shedis-tics shared a table Tony’s head ached with the thought of Claire and Sophia at the sao "My, you look fa portrait How do you like it?" The coincidences were too numerous not to raise suspicion
Tony ala, and he would escort Claire He had no intention of being at the same function with his ex-wife and another man It didn’t matter that he could have a damn Sports Illustrated swi at the head table and looking out to a rooht about calling her, discussing the event, and proposing his idea It was a fleeting thought After their conversation in San Diego, Tony didn’t believe that Claire was ready to willinglyto Roach and his tio, Baldwin showed up at her door after 3:00 AM with the police in tow Tony understood; he would have done the same What reassured Tony about Baldwin’s visit were the pictures that Roach took of the inside of Claire’s suite with the couch made up like a bed Tony wasn’t happy that Baldwin spent two nights there, but those photos , Tony had asked Brent to start working on having John’s law license reinstated It was a painful task Tony didn’t like John, and helping hiainst Tony’s nature; nevertheless, he told hi it for John--it was for Claire He’d also signed Claire’s dareement and paid Meredith a stipend Claire’sas her criteria were reement stated that Claire, her friends, and her family would remain safe--a rather broad statement What if one of theal tea more specific about questionable causes of harreement, the one about to be exploited, was the lack of specifics about harm done to a company
Every company had at least one employee with a price SiJo was no exception The virus that infected SiJo’s network a few hours ago was essentially harmless It was the public repercussions of such a breach that could be potentially da; whether that breach became public depended upon Claire’s response to Tony’s new declaration
Against Shelly’s better judgment, she wrote a news release to Tony’s specifications The release was ready to publish Tony was just waiting for word of Claire’s arrival to the St Regis Once she was in the building and out of the range of media, news of their reunification would hit the wire
