Steven stepped into his apartment, closed the door behind him and dropped the bags in his hand.
He took out his phone and put a call to Hargreaves immediately.
The call was picked after a ring.
"Mr. Craig," Hargreaves said. "What can I do for you?"
"I made a purchase on the Reserve Card this morning," Steven said. "I'd like to settle the balance immediately rather than wait for the monthly cycle. Can that be arranged?"
There was a brief pause on Hargreaves' end.
"It can," Hargreaves said. "It's unconventional — the card is designed around a monthly settlement structure — but there's no restriction on early settlement. You'd be paying the outstanding balance in full, directly from your linked account, before the cycle closes."
"That's what I want," Steven said.
"Fletcher can process that on our end today. I'll need you to confirm the amount and authorise the transfer."
"The amount is $4,850," Steven said. "Authorised."
