Chapter 77: Turmoil

"Are you not working today?"

Hope Williams nodded lightly, "Mhm, I'm off today. What brings you here?"

Waylon Lewis lifted his hand as Thomas Hughes handed over Brother Jimmy, which Waylon then passed to Hope with a slow, melodious voice, "It belongs to Luke."

Hope glanced at the mechanical dog, and recognizing that it was Luke's Brother Jimmy, she reached out to take it, "You even brought it back specially, thank you for the trouble."

"Just on the way."

On the way?

Thomas Hughes, standing to the side, furrowed his brows, remembering that they had detoured through three streets to get here.

Hearing this, Hope looked slightly puzzled, "Isn't your company in the opposite direction from here?"

"Just had some things to deal with over this side."

Thomas Hughes muttered under his breath, accusing him of blatant lies, as he had clearly rushed over early in the morning on purpose.

Hope silently nodded and hummed in acknowledgment.

"Did Luke mention that he assembled this himself?"
