Chapter 294

Bernard, who had just walked in from outside the mansion, spotted the phone on the floor and furrowed his brows.

Cedric stood up from the couch, noticing Bernard soaked from head to toe, his face filled with worry, “Why are you all wet?”

Bernard didn’t respond, instead he took off his suit jacket and grabbed a towel from a servant.

Cedric let out a sigh, answering somewhat unenthusiastically, “It’s the weekend, I was bored so I came over for a drink.”

Bernard shot him a cold glance, “If you’re bored, go to Africa and take over Matthew’s work.”
