Chapter 141

Inside the car.

Liam was quietly driving when his boss suddenly spoke.

"Did you tell Grandma?"

Sean's voice was calm and gave no hint of his mood.

Liam glanced at him through the rearview mirror, noting Sean's expression was perfectly neutral, as if he was merely making casual conversation.

His boss's thoughts were always so hard to read.

Liam could only chuckle nervously, "Boss, I just wanted to reassure the old lady."

Sean replied coldly, "You talk too much."

Liam laughed it off, "Boss, how is that talking too much? I'm only looking out for you."

After saying this, he glanced at Claire in the mirror again. She and his boss made quite the handsome pair, though she was a bit too petite and frail.

"Boss, you don't like her?"

Sean's sharp gaze cut across, silencing Liam immediately. He focused on driving. Claire's breathing had steadied, though she occasionally let out a soft sob.
