Billionaire's Match

Chapter 261 Michael didn't respond to Winnie. "I'll drive you home. I'll explain today's events to Mr. Olson as well. You won't get any complaints." Hearing this, Winnie's expression softened just a little. The drive was silent. Winnie kept glancing at Michael as he drove, noticing how he occasionally rubbed his arm.
