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?”

“Is it because you haven’t smoothed things over with Serene yet? Then you better sweet-talk her yourself! And for the record, I already cleared the air with Estrella yesterday. She said she’s not pressuring you and that you two should sort things out on your own.

You’ve been too impulsive lately, and it’s time for some real-world experience. Your father and I are grateful to Jason. Don’t worry about the family business; your dad’s got it under control.”

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?
