Chapter 51

Lucian took a peek at his watch; he realized he still had plenty of time left while saying, “Sounds good.”

He initially planned to return tomorrow but returned early to surprise Penelope.

The car chimed along smoothly, but suddenly a woman in light brown clothing popped into his view. Shawn, quick on the uptake, slammed the brakes.

Lucian just shook his head.

Shawn had been his assistant for years, stellar driving skills, so he didn’t sweat the small stuff.

Outside, rain hammered the ground.

Suddenly, he heard Shawn’s voice from outside, “Mr. Lindberg, it’s Allison.”

He frowned, a flicker of unusual emotion crossed his cold face, but it vanished quickly, elusive.
