Chapter 95

“I’m looking for Harper. Where is he?”

“He is away on a business trip, so I don’t think he is around today. By the way, who is the man who gave you a lift, Miss Lynwood? Could he be your boyfriend?” The woman nodded in a preoccupied manner.

“Who is he?” The woman asked, seemingly confused.

“His name is Callum Winthrop.”

Also, work hard and ease up on the gossip.” She advised her subordinate, not knowing whether her words were taken seriously by the administrator behind that smiling
