Chapter 63 Because I Trust You

“You did pretty well this time,” Curtis praised benevolently. “You guys must be tired, so go home and get some rest. Have someone else take over your shifts.”

“I’ll stay here and watch over her, Mr. Faymon.” James chose not to leave. “She got hurt because I was negligent, and I fear there might still be other accomplices hiding around inside the hotel.”

Curtis’ eyes flashed briefly at that, but he quickly responded, “You’ve already taken the guy down, so there’s no need to feel guilty anymore. Go on home. I can manage on my own for now, but I’ll be needing your help quite a bit in the next few days to come.”

Seeing how insistent the man was, James had no choice but to leave with Cillian.

“What can I help you with, Curtis?” A woman’s gentle, soothing voice rang out from across the line.

“Sorry to bother you at this hour.” Curtis gazed out the window and at the view with a blank expression. “My dad said he hadn’t seen you for a long time. Are you still in Saintnam, Aunt Sienna?”

“That’s right. I’ve been rather busy,” Sienna answered. “I might have to be here for one or two months.”

“You sure are working hard. Will you be back for our huge family gathering?”

“We’ll see about that. I’ll try to make it.”

“Okay. Let me know if you do come back. I’ll pick you up myself.”
