Chapter 116

Luther paused, a bit confused. Why was Mr. Etheridge asking him that?

Was it possible Mr. Etheridge was having a change of heart, suddenly feeling guilty about all the late nights and lost weekends he'd demanded? Maybe he wanted to make it up to him-was this his way of offering some time off?

Luther quickly nodded. "Yes, I have a girlfriend. We've been together almost two years. Things are good."

Lyman gave a thoughtful nod. "So, tell me if you mess up and need to apologize, how should you do it?"

Now, this was a topic Luther knew well.

He glanced at Lyman, then spoke a bit more carefully.
