Chapter 388 "Galatea, Is There Something You're Hiding from Me?"


Hearing Alaric's question, Tommy jumped up and said, "Mr. Knight, you're still here too? As the new guy, I gotta learn the ropes."

"Ambitious and eager, I like that," Alaric said. "But the company's in hot water right now, and folks are watching. Better not burn the midnight oil at the office."

If people found out employees were pulling all-nighters, the media would have a field day, claiming Nexus Innovations was working its people to the bone. Best to steer clear of that mess. Tommy nodded, "Got it, Mr. Knight. I'll shut down my computer right now."

As Tommy closed his laptop, Alaric caught a glimpse of his screen just before it went dark.

It was a photo from a high-level meeting, snapped with a phone, with Stellan front and center.

'Tommy has picked this photo as his wallpaper. Who does that?'

"Mr. Knight, I'm heading out. See you tomorrow." Tommy packed up and took the employee elevator.

Alaric watched him go, then took his private elevator.

When Alaric got back to the villa, Rowena was there. She greeted him, "Mr. Knight."

"You're here?" Alaric replied. "I need to handle some work in the study. Can you keep Galatea company for a bit?"

Rowena nodded. "Sure thing."

Before heading to the study, Alaric checked on Stellan's face, which was all healed up. "Does it still hurt?"

Stellan shook her head, "It stopped hurting ages ago."
