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

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.”

Carter could hear the sting behind her words.

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