Chapter 84

  Leah's POV

  On my way to work, Darren remained silent.

  It was a bit awkward, so I tried to break the ice.

  "Did I say something that offended you last night when I was drunk?" I asked.

  "Well, technically speaking, it's not offending," Darren took a glance at Troy, who was driving with a deadpan face, and smirked. "It's kind of flattering."

  "I'm sorry, but I'm sitting right here." Troy protested. "Please don't let me hear anything that I'm not supposed to hear. I will have to report everything to Jalin, or else he will shout at me again."

  "Did you and Jalin find the poor man's abducted wife yesterday?" I asked.

  "Yeah," Troy replied briefly.

  "And?" I said.

  "And nothing happened. We couldn't find the man who had abducted her. By the time we found that woman, the abductor had already left," Troy said.

  I looked out of the window and said, "He killed that poor woman, didn't he?"

  Troy looked nervous and said, "No, Leah. The woman's fine."
