Gio had three phones going before nine and a fourth call holding on the office line, and none of it was about Sam.
"Mythos Group's advance team wants the east conference room for Thursday," he said, not looking up from the tablet. "Told them Rochefort Group doesn't hold rooms for a visit that hasn't been confirmed."
"Confirmed by who?" Arianne asked, from the doorway.
"By you, when you decide it's confirmed." He set the tablet down and picked up the ringing office line without breaking stride, said three sentences into it that ended the call, and set it back in its cradle. "Harvey Chen lands at eleven. Press already has it. Two outlets called this morning asking if Rochefort Group is in talks with Mythos."
"What did you tell them?"
"No comment. True, as far as it goes."
