Chapter 149

Granger could sense Charlene’s hesitation, so he reassured her, “I promise, my personal matters will never interfere with the business between your uncle and me.”

“Are you sure?” Charlene asked, a hint of skepticism in her voice.

“Absolutely.”

Charlene was well aware of her uncle’s company’s dire straits.

After a moment’s pause, she finally agreed, “Okay.”

“Whenever you’re free, let me know. I’ll arrange a meeting time.”

“Okay,” Charlene replied.

As they spoke, Granger noticed how the cold night wind tousled her hair. “It’s chilly out tonight. You should head inside,” he suggested.

She nodded silently and got into her car.

Granger remained outside.

As the car passed him, Charlene rolled down the window, gave a nod of acknowledgment, and then sped off.
