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."

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

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