Chapter 39: The Dawn Appears Again
Briefcase in hand, Nancy stepped out of the elevator, turned down the hallway, and arrived at Duke's door. She rang the bell.
The door opened to reveal a blonde woman. Nancy frowned. "What are you doing here?"
"Hello, Nancy."
Naomi greeted the agent and quickly stepped aside to let her in. "Looking for Duke? He's on the phone in the study. I'll go get him."
Watching her hurry off, the displeasure on Nancy's face vanished in a flash. She walked over to the sofa, sat down, and poured herself a glass of water from the silver pitcher with practiced ease.
Hanging up on Zack Snyder, Duke walked into the living room. He offered Nancy a casual wave and dropped the cordless phone onto its base.
"Here so early?" he asked his agent.
"It's important."
Nancy ignored him, looking instead at Naomi Watts, who had followed him out. Naomi wasn't stupid; she grabbed her purse from the coat rack and told Duke, "I have things to do. I'll get going."
