Prompted into action

The call ended when Sofia announced that she had to get on.

“OK Paolo, I’ll call you again when the money’s cleared tonight and we can devise a plan of action... as well as another action plan for just the two of us.” She giggled, said “Byeee!” and disconnected. Paolo was left feeling very strange. It seemed he wasn’t making too many of his own decisions right now and that seriously perturbed him.

Then his phone rang again. It was Tony.

“I hope you’re on your way in.” he barked. “This fucking firm won’t run itself!”

Business as usual? Maybe.
