Chapter 1344
With an air of nonchalance as if the matter did not concern him at all, Jim remarked, “It’ll be fine. The missus can always keep Mr. Zachary in check no matter what. No matter how he tries to lash out, he inevitably loses to the missus once she tries to reason with him. It’s the same thing every time.”
Sam shot a look at him.
Jim grinned pompously. “It’s true, you know it is! Sam, don’t worry about it, as long as the missus is here, she’ll keep everything in control no matter what happens. We don’t need to do anything. even if Mr. Zachary gets upset. Just wait for the missus to step in and handle the situation.”
They knew that no matter how upset Mr. Zachary got, he would never try to hurt the missus.
“Sam, it’s getting late, why don’t you get some rest? I need to get some shuteye too,” Jim said with an exaggerated yawn before excusing himself and walking away.
Sam was replaying what Jim had told him in his mind. Soon, he concluded that this was why the brat had always made a point of getting on the missus’s good side. It was because he knew who was truly in control.
Jim was very aware of this as well. He understood this was why he was paid better than the others.
Meanwhile, at Wiltspoon Hotel, the three members of the Newman family were the last group to leave the hotel.
Partly because Camryn was taking her time.
Seeing that there was hardly anyone else left at the venue at this hour, Mrs. Newman decided that there was no need to keep up appearances anymore. She ditched Camryn and walked out of the hotel by herself.
Camryn did not have her cane with her. She stumbled around aimlessly and ended up walking back into the hotel instead.
After walking a short distance, she came to a stop.
“Mr. Callumn?”
Callum was intrigued by Camryn calling his name, “How could you tell that it was me?”
“I caught a whiff of your scent. It’s very distinctive.”
Callum smiled.
“Why did you come back? Did you forget something? Let me help you look for it.”
Camryn blushed slightly upon hearing this. Before they headed out tonight, Mrs. Newman had forbidden her from taking her sunglasses. Without her sunglasses shielding her, she felt very vulnerable and her expression gave her away easily.
“I–I think I’m a little lost, I was going to head out.
“Mr. Callum, could you show me the way out of here?”
