Chapter 163: Being Followed

After saying his piece, Nathaniel Monroe shot a glance at Owen Sterling beside him. His meaning couldn’t have been more obvious.

Owen Sterling’s expression remained placid, as if he hadn’t heard a thing.

Chloe Reed nodded. "Mm, you’re right. I get it."

Seeing she was unfazed, Nathaniel Monroe grew anxious. ’Why isn’t Walker here yet?’

He grinned and said, "Sister-in-law, a meal with just two people is so boring. Why don’t I stay and keep you company? It’ll be more lively with me here."

But to his surprise, Chloe Reed’s brows furrowed slightly. "I’m afraid that won’t work. My manager and I still have things to discuss."

Nathaniel Monroe’s eyes widened. "You two can have your discussion. I won’t tell anyone, I promise. Sister-in-law, don’t you trust me?"

"Mhm."

Chloe Reed nodded, her expression serious.

’He wouldn’t tell anyone?’

’He’d turn right around and tell Walker Grant everything!’

’How could she possibly believe him!’

Just as a stunned Nathaniel Monroe was wondering what to do, Owen Sterling, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly started laughing.
