Chapter 1347

Chase gave a nod and gently patted Belinda’s shoulder, reminding her to calm down a bit. “Yeah, there’s no need to worry anymore.”

Jacob, being Belinda’s boyfriend, felt a bit off about his boss, Chase, getting all touchy-feely with his girlfriend. He was uneasy about it but couldn’t buck up the courage to voice his displeasure to his boss.

So he stepped forward and also comforted Belinda. “Belinda, all’s well that ends well. They’re okay, so you can breathe easy now.”

Chase noticed her reaction, knew what she was thinking, and gave a slight chuckle.

Jacob then wrapped his arm around Belinda’s shoulder. “Belinda, Mr. Larios is right. We’re not supposed to go in. Let’s wait out here. I saw a coffee joint not far from the cop shop. I can get you a cup of coffee. We can sip and wait, okay?”
