Chapter 278

Everyone fetched for their phones immediately even though most of them were aware that the phone ringing was not their own. Staring at Deaton, Philip motioned with a jerk of his chin. “It’s yours.” Stunned, Deaton reached for his pockets to realize it was indeed his phone. Most importantly, it was from his company’s secretary. Had he not already established that they were not to disturb him today? Deaton frowned.
