Sebastian let out a blissful, almost manic smile.
The tension in his shoulders seemed to vanish instantly as he realized his plan was back on track. "Excellent choice," he said, his fingers already dancing across the screen of his phone.
"I will initiate the first part of the transfer right now. You can check your accounts in a moment."
