Chapter 623

“Mr. Chambers, it must be the middle of the night back home, haven’t you gone to bed yet?”

The voice on the other end was Alexia’s!

Avery’s heart skipped a beat, surprise lacing his voice. “Ms. Alexia?”

“It’s morning here. Sir is currently visiting with the Williams and can’t take your call.”

Alexia’s tone carried a smug chuckle, “Whatever you have to say, you can tell me, and I’ll pass it along.”

Avery’s brows furrowed, his fingers curling into a fist.

He had served Sir for many years, toiling tirelessly with the loyalty of a workhorse, yet he always felt an invisible barrier between them. He even questioned whether Sir truly regarded him as a confidant.
