Chapter 364

Kent quickly agreed, "Sure thing."

Don looked at him, surprised, "Didn't peg you as a kiddo lover."

Kent kept his cool, "No biggie. As Mr. Crawley's right-hand man, I handle all sorts of personal errands for him. Taking the kid for a spin every now and then is no sweat."

Don nodded as it made sense, "True that."

"Schedule it for daytime." Brandon cut him off, "No working late."
