Thomas's steps are heavy; he can hardly move his feet.
His heart is about to stop beating. He knows he is committing betrayal. He shouldn't do this. Scarlett Glenn has been very good to him—what boss would transfer one hundred thousand the moment they learn that an employee's father is sick, without a second word?
