Chapter 578

Once the car started, Carter asked, “Home or the studio?”

“Studio,” Sharon replied.

Sharon’s voice was cold, laced with sarcasm. “That’s none of your business. What you should be worrying about isn’t my mood, but Kelly’s illness. If she has an episode before her concert, all your efforts on her behalf will go to waste.”

Sharon caught his implication. “So, you’re saying Mr. Malcolm lied to you just to help me?”
