Chapter 544 Ronan Drops By

“I had some work to complete last night,” Michael answered evasively. “Yesterday was the deadline. That was why I stayed in the office to pull an all-nighter.”

Without giving us time to interrogate him further, he disappeared upstairs. I was annoyed at his complete lack of accountability. He should have at least explained!

“What were you doing last night?” I asked. “Why didn’t you come back all night?”

 

Midnight was the latest Michael had ever gotten home from entertaining clients. He had certainly never stayed out all night before. His disappearance, combined with the fact that he could not be contacted the night before, made me feel a little uneasy.
