He turned towards the door to leave but then it got locked. "Keep this a secret. I don't want anyone including Claire to find out about this."

He nodded. "Of course, sir. Leave it to me. I will keep this a secret. I won't even talk about this." He left the car and walked in the opposite direction to what he came from.
