Trust and confidence

It didn’t take ten minutes to work out what had gone on. Sofia and Marcia had known Livia to be behind the whole plot to kill Terry and suspected she must have worked through some young admirer to do her dirty work. That admirer was clearly Paolo, who had already virtually admitted, by non-denial, he was smitten with pretty Livia.

When she’d arrived at work and found an empty office, Sofia called Paolo back.

“Paolo, you’ve absolutely no reason to trust me, but I assure you everything we speak about here will be in the strictest confidence.”

Paolo grunted.
