Chapter 8

Clayton continued working on the document while Johnny and Kayson stiffened. Johnny, usually collected, also stared at Clayton in

disbelief.

Kayson’s mouth hung open. “Y–You and who, Boss?”

Clayton glanced up at them, answering flatly, “My wife. Do you have a hearing problem?”

Kayson gaped in shock at Clayton, who kept working, then turned to the equally dumbfounded Johnny.

Another assistant, Weston Quinn, entered the office. “Mr. Murray, Mr. Nathan Ingram and his daughter are here to see you.”

Clayton didn’t look up. “Did they make an appointment?”

Weston shook his head. “No, but he mentioned Isabella Sorenson. Said you’d know right away!

Clayton’s head snapped up at once. “All right, bring them up.”

Weston was stunned, for he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a smile on Clayton’s face.

However, he blinked and thought his eyes must’ve been playing tricks. Noticing how Kayson was rooted in his spot, Weston presumed

Kayson had been lectured again and hurriedly turned to leave.

Clayton glimpsed at Kayson. “Why are you still here?”

Kayson jolted out of his daze, murmuring, “T–This feels too surreal…”

Clayton glanced at Johnny, who quickly composed himself, clenched his fists, and cleared his throat before saying, “This information is somewhat… unexpected. It’s only normal that Kay needs a moment to process it, Mr. Murray.”

Johnny then glared at Kayson. “What are you still waiting for? Go get it done.”

Promptly, Kayson exited the room, still looking thunderstruck.
