Chapter 84

Alice gripped the table.“Let go!”

Jack stepped in front of Noah.“If you want to cancel the contract, you can leave now. Alice isn’t your pet; she has the right to choose.”

Noah, defeated, agreed. They went to the restaurant.

Noah looked at Jack.“Doctor Wilson, I didn’t expect you to have such diverse interests beyond your profession.”

Jack’s tone was cool. “I’ve never had my family suppress my interests in the name of ‘fairness.”

Alice smirked; he was subtly criticizing Noah.

Noah countered smoothly, “Then what does Dr. Wilson’s family do?”

Alice became alert.“Why are you asking? It’s irrelevant to work.”

“Just curious.” Noah remained wary of Jack. On the way, he’d realized Jack was behind everything. If Alice hadn’t solved the firewall issue, the partnership would have been cancelled. Jack leaned back, one hand on the table, revealing a glimpse of his wrist. “My family does… small business.”

Andrew Yates choked on his drink. The audacity! If Jack’s business was “small,” then everyone else’s was microscopic.

Alice realized she knew nothing about Jack. He’d said he was traveling for work, but she knew nothing about it. Their connection was fragile.

Noah pressed on.“Small business? You must have a company. What’s the name?” Andrew Yates tried to smooth things over.“Mr. Noah, you’re interrogating him. You’re so thorough.”

“Dr. Wilson took my sister away. As her brother, I have a right to know. Don’t you think SO, Dr. Wilson?”

Alice felt uncomfortable.“He’s just a friend. Your questions are making things awkward. Have you considered my feelings?”

Noah calmed down.“Fine. If you’re unhappy, I won’t ask.”
