Back in Time: Unshackling From Love

Chapter 228

Was Mikayla’s presence really needed?

Before she could even ask, Jerome hung up on her.

Mike’s voice echoed from outside the door In the same instant. His tone was prim. “Mrs. Miller, please come downstairs once you’re ready. I’ll start the car now.”

Jerome was surely an efficient man. She barely had time to think or refuse him before Mike appeared at

the door.

She changed out of her pajamas and into a loose long sleeved T–shirt. She strutted downstairs with a

“Mr. Ashford, did Jerome say anything to you? Why aren’t you talking to me at all?” she asked.

Mike wouldn’t dare tell the truth, “Mrs. Miller, it’s not a big deal. Mr. Miller just told me to be more attentive to my duties so I won’t make you feel uncomfortable.”
