But Vesta had no intention of telling them that.
Whether Granger sent them an invitation or not was a secondary concern for Henley now. "Vesta," he said, his tone serious, "you need to lock things down with Thorne."
"I know," she replied.
She knew exactly why he was pressing her. Hawkins Technology was on the verge of shutting down a major research project due to a lack of funding. And even if Henley hadn't said anything, she was already planning to make a move. It wasn't just Hawkins Technology that was bleeding money; her own company, Neural Nexus Tech, was in dire straits as well.
Both ventures required a constant, massive influx of capital. When Thorne was backing them, they never had to worry. But now...
The next day, Vesta went to The Henderson Group, but Thorne wasn't in the office.
Coy, however, was.
"Do you know when Thorne might be back?" Vesta asked.
Coy looked uncomfortable. "I'm sorry, Ms. Hawkins. Mr. Henderson said..."
Thorne had forbidden him from sharing his schedule with Vesta. Although Thorne hadn't seemed angry at the time, Coy wasn't about to defy a direct order.
A shadow passed over Vesta's eyes, but she managed a gracious smile. "It's all right. I understand." She pulled two ornate envelopes from her purse. "Could you give these to Thorne for me?" They were invitations to the galas for Neural Nexus Tech and Hawkins Technology.
This time, Coy accepted them. "I'll make sure Mr. Henderson gets them."
Vesta nodded, thanked him politely, and left.
After she was gone, Coy hesitated for a moment before calling Thorne.
