Chapter 247

Brian’s gaze lingered on the glossy pages of the catalog, showcasing an array of dazzling, naked diamonds. His fingers paused, flicking through the pages as he glanced at Bagot sidelong.

Visibly uncomfortable and avoiding Brian’s penetrating stare, Bagot cleared his throat and said hesitantly,

Bagot seemed to freeze in place, not daring to utter another word.

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Brian chuckled lightly, “It’s not like I’m going to eat you alive for messing up one little thing.”
