“I can be backup.Do you, gentlemen, mind?They will open up for you without hesitation.We will go first so that I can tear Denith a new one.He’s been trying to become a client for years, and I have not found his need to be sufficient.He has other options and does not require high security for his funds.”
“Oh, that is your criteria.”
“Correct.Some folks are fine with a regular bank.Denith is good with a regular bank.He doesn’t need our resources.He just wants it for the exclusivity.He just needs a good accountant.”
Echel laughed.“I always wondered about your criteria.”
“Need.That is the criterion.Or fun puzzles.Or personal requests.Carlos and I are on several boards together, and I hate his wife.She’s a raving bitch.Hot, but a bitch.”

Samsor laughed.“So, you have met them.”
“Vemel and Themak had a need, and now Asel has her accounts.She needed an anchor in this world that didn’t have a dick on it.”

Duran sighed.“Well, I suppose that is the point.Shall we go?We will be behind you by five minutes.”
Emhara swallowed.“Well, let’s go.Meritha, you have my back?”
“Oh, I am all about communication.Don’t worry.”

Emhara looked at thepodium that they approached.“I don’t know if I can do this.”
“Don’t worry.If you would like, I can take point.”
“I don’t want to ask it of you.You have done a lot for me.”
“It was my pleasure, as this will be.I rarely get to chew on snobs.Normally, I just close the door.How much may I share with the hostess?”
“Whatever you like.I am going to be taking notes.”
