Chapter 705 Look For Him

Deirdre shook herself awake and unbuckled her seatbelt. "Oh, God. Sorry. I was lost in thoughts. Thanks for bringing me home.”

"Don’t mention it.” Sam hesitated for a moment before asking, "Um, Miss McKinnon, you don't look so good. Are you okay? Did Mr. Brighthall say something demeaning again?"

But Brendan clearly enjoyed dragging it out. Deirdre resented him for it, yet she was clearly too hapless to do anything about it.

She could not say much to Sam, so she smiled and assured him that she was fine. Pulling out her phone, she asked, "Can you help me remove Brendan's number from my blacklist?"
