Chapter 21: The Bank
He was freshly shaved and wearing a new suit.
He'd come to watch.
He looked at the clock over the banker's door, and then at the three men from the fund, and he spread his hands.
"Gentlemen. It's noon."
Nobody answered him.
He saw Solène with her arms around Julien's neck. He saw me on the bench. He saw the banker's smile.
His own smile slipped a quarter of an inch.
"What," he said.
"It's paid," the banker said. "In full. At two minutes to twelve."
Ashton stood very still.
"Paid by who?"
"That's confidential, monsieur."
"By her." He turned on me. "Of course. Of course by her. She can't buy it, so she just bought it anyway."
"I lent it," I said. "On the house's terms. I own nothing."
"Nobody believes that."
"I don't need anybody to believe it. It's in writing."
He walked across the lobby to the three men.
They'd stood up when he came in. Now they didn't sit down again.
