Chapter 623

In the moment the line connected, Avery sat up straight, his posture rigid with anticipation.

“Sir.”

“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.

And here was Alexia, who had only recently entered Sir’s inner circle, already entrusted with such liberties as to answer his calls!

Could it be that even a man as wise and valiant as Sir could not escape the snares of a woman’s charm?

“Mr. Chambers, if there’s nothing pressing, I should get back to Sir’s side,” Alexia said with palpable impatience.
