Chapter 15: The Answer He Cannot Manage
My hand reaches the folder before Cormac can open it. I pull it across the table and place it beside my cold coffee.
His phone lies between us. The compliance officer has stopped speaking, but the call remains open.
Cormac looks at the folder, then at me. His face has gone still in the careful way people look when someone else is deciding their punishment.
'Nell.'
'You asked for the recording.'
'Before the meeting. I need to know what you have.'
'That is not the same thing.'
'It is the part that matters tonight.'
He reaches for the folder. I cover it with my palm.
'The firm will ask what you recorded, when you recorded it, and whether you knew Gregor was making statements capable of affecting completion,' he says.
'They already know he lied about the house.'
'They know what I reported. They do not have your account.'
'You want to hand it over.'
'I want to stop them treating your silence as assistance.'
His firm's concern arrives dressed as mine. It still carries his name on the label.
I lift my hand from the folder and fold it beside the other. 'You want the recording because it makes your report harder to challenge.'
'It makes the facts harder to challenge.'
'Those are different things.'
'They are not different to me.'
He opens the folder. I close it again.
His mouth tightens. 'You are withholding it because you are afraid.'
'Afraid of what?'
'That once you release everything, you lose control of what happens next.'
