Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 15 Amanda and Elias Got Locked In (1)

She didn’t want to get involved in this matter, and she could sense that it wasn’t safe to stay around for too long. I’ve already received the gift, so I should come up with some excuse to leave now. Amanda pretended to glance at her phone before looking up at Howard. I’m afraid I have some matters to handle at work, Grandpa. I think I should-

Howard cut her off before she could finish her sentence. “Are you going to leave now? How could I allow that? What company is this-how could they take up your personal time now that it’s past working hours?” Howard wasn’t about to let Amanda off just like that. He had to go on with his initial plan for the night.

“I just started this job a while ago, so it’s a little more hectic, Grandpa, I’m really sorry…” Amanda uttered in an awkward tone.

Howard, on the other hand, spoke in a much firmer tone. “Who’s your leader?”

Jackson’s voice came out of nowhere. “I’m Jackson McCalister from Justice & Associates, Old Mr. Winters. I have the authority to let Amanda off work for today, so she can spend your birthday with you. She won’t have to work overtime.”

Howard grinned with satisfaction when he heard Jackson’s words. “Look at that, Amanda. Your leader gave you his orders! You can stay since you don’t have to work overtime,” he said.

“I…” Amanda could no longer find another excuse to leave. I can’t say I have a baby at home to care for,

can I?

“Why don’t you just stay around to spend Old Mr. Winters’ birthday with him, Amanda?” Jackson could tell that something was up when he saw how much the Winters Family cared for Amanda. The law firm happened to be targeting Winters Enterprise as one of its legal clients, so Jackson saw this as the perfect opportunity.

“Okay…” Amanda had no choice but to nod in agreement.
