Chapter 37

Thomas had barely finished his sentence when Jason chuckled with a hint of mischief, “Thanks! I definitely owe you one.” Without missing a beat, he added, “Bryce’s team is short-handed, and you seem like a perfect fit to jump in and get some exercise.”

At the mention of going over to Bryce’s domain. Thomas’ face turned ghostly pale. “Jason, are you returning a favor or seeking revenge? That place is just…”

Before Thomas could finish his lament, Jason had already dialed a number. “Drew, get everything ready for Thomas.”

Thomas felt like crying without tears. “Jason, what did I do wrong? I’ll change. I promise I’ll change, okay?”

Thomas felt utterly abandoned.

Back in the office, picturing Thomas’ desolate expression, Jason finally exhaled a sigh of relief. Since when did he get drunk over Serene? And who told Thomas to spout nonsense in front of Estrella?
