The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 406

Borg tried again, his voice low and urgent. “Cedric, come on, let’s not push our luck. Two billion is more than enough. We can take the money, disappear somewhere far away, and finally stop living with a target on our backs.”

He leaned in, voice barely above a whisper. “Think about it—if we double-cross Dylan, he’ll send people after us. We could have all the money in the world and still end up dead before we get to spend a cent.”

Cedric shot a resentful look at their “golden goose,” Noah, then glanced at Borg. He clenched his teeth. “You’re such a coward. Did you forget we’ve got Darcy backing us up?”

A light sparked in Borg’s eyes. “Right! We tell Darcy about this—he can cover for us. Worst case, we give him half the take.”

Cedric nodded. “Fine. Call him now.”

Borg was just about to dial Darcy when Noah’s phone rang again.

Borg muttered under his breath, “Didn’t know you were such a busy guy.”

But when he looked closer at the screen, he froze. The caller ID read: Darcy.

Borg was dumbfounded, pure shock on his face. "Why’s Darcy calling this kid?”

Cedric grabbed the phone and stared in disbelief. It really was Darcy’s number.

Both men turned to Noah, the same question in their eyes.

Noah just shrugged, calm as ever. “What did you expect? Obviously, he wants to talk business with me.”

Borg and Cedric stared at him, stunned. “Why would Darcy want to do business with you?”

Noah chuckled. “You two don’t have a clue, do you? My SOAI tech is worth a fortune. But whatever, you wouldn’t understand even if I explained. Just answer the call.”

Borg hesitated, then picked up. “Hello, Darcy? It’s Borg.”

Darcy’s deep voice sounded from the other end. “Borg? Why are you answering? Are you N?”
