Chloe Reed withdrew her probing gaze and pushed down the doubts welling up inside her.
As it was getting late, they paid the bill and went their separate ways.
When Chloe Reed returned to the car, Daniel Hayes was sitting in the driver’s seat. He asked, "Miss Reed, did you find out anything?"
Chloe shook her head. "He didn’t seem like he was faking it. He shouldn’t have any reason to stop my divorce."
Daniel Hayes said, "Then it could be Preston Vance."
"Mm."
Chloe Reed nodded, deciding to find an opportunity to test Preston Vance’s stance.
The car entered the underground parking garage of the Maplewood Gardens Community.
As Chloe Reed opened the door to get out, someone walked up and grabbed her wrist.
Startled, she looked up and saw it was Walker Grant.
Her fine brows furrowed, and she struggled instinctively. "What are you doing? Let go of me!"
Daniel Hayes immediately rushed forward to intervene. "Hey, what do you think you’re doing?"
Walker Grant swept a cool gaze over Daniel Hayes. Daniel shivered involuntarily but pretended not to notice the look in his eyes and continued to block him.
’Are you kidding me?!’
’If I just turn and walk away now, can I still keep my job with Chloe Reed?’
’At that point, it won’t just be Chloe Reed. That kid Zachary Bowman will rip me a new one too!’
Walker Grant ignored Daniel Hayes and said to Chloe Reed in a low voice, "Get in my car. I want to talk to you about the nannies. I’ll let you go when we’re done."
Chloe Reed paused. She remembered the files he’d sent her.
After a moment’s thought, she looked at Daniel Hayes and said, "Just wait out here."
Daniel Hayes nodded. "You got it."
Walker Grant released her hand and walked ahead.
