The Business Hint
During one of their conversations, Caden casually mentioned a business idea. “We’re thinking of starting something new,” he said. “Maybe with a portion of the inheritance.”
Elara tilted her head, feigning interest. “Oh? What kind of business?” she asked.
He faltered. “Something in tech,” he said vaguely, clearly unprepared to elaborate.
She nodded slowly, pretending to weigh his proposal. In reality, she had no intention of funding anything he pitched. But she kept listening, playing her part.
Every word he offered, every half-truth, was another crack in his carefully built facade.
