Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1601
Daniel ushered Maisie into the car and drove out of the narrow alley. Maisie’s hands remained cold despite the warm car interior, and she shivered.
To ease her tension, Daniel tried to strike up a conversation. “By the way, do you live nearby?”
“It’s a bit far from here,” Maisie answered softly. “I usually don’t take this route, but I left work late today, and it’s more convenient, so I decided to use it. I didn’t expect someone to follow me.”
“It’s important to be cautious when walking through dark, quiet alleys,” Daniel advised.
Maisie nodded, and a thought suddenly crossed her mind. She gazed at him. “Mr. Quimby, why are you here too?”
Daniel couldn’t admit to following her all this time. He had been secretly keeping an eye on her, concerned for her safety on her way home. He had convinced himself that her apartment was in a moderately safe downtown area surrounded by busy roads. But his concern became a reality today.

“Huh?” Daniel realized the holes in his lie and calmly added, “Oh, no, it’s not me who had too much to drink. It’s my friend. I was just there to accompany him for some fresh air.”
“What about your friend, then?”
“Uh…”
“You left your friend alone in the alley?”
“I…”
