Walker Grant and Chloe Reed left Blue Night and went straight to a restaurant.
Chloe’s mood was heavy. She looked at the man sitting across from her and asked, "This path is a dead end. What do we do now?"
"Don’t worry," Walker said calmly. "I’ll handle it."
Chloe’s lovely brows knitted together. "If you don’t tell me, my mind will just run wild. You should at least let me know what to expect so I can be prepared."
Walker lifted his gaze and stared at her. "You’re safe for the short term."
Chloe didn’t understand. She asked doubtfully, "How can you guarantee that?"
A small smile played on Walker’s lips. "William Quinn is here. His men won’t dare to make a move."
Chloe tightened her grip on her chopsticks. "But that’s just a temporary fix, not a real solution."
"We have to take things one step at a time."
Walker said, "Let’s eat first. Try to forget about what happened tonight. From now on, if you see him, just stay away."
The thought of William Quinn’s unhinged behavior made Chloe’s blood run cold.
She had witnessed the depths of human evil before, but she’d never encountered someone so utterly deranged.
His moods were wildly unpredictable, and his thoughts were scattered. He could be laughing one second and crying the next.
And when she recalled what Walker had said about William Quinn crying as he hacked off his own siblings’ limbs, a wave of nausea washed over her.
"I’m not hungry. You go ahead and eat."
She said, putting down her chopsticks, her face a little pale.
Seeing this, Walker’s sharp brows drew together. "He really got to you."
Chloe didn’t say anything.
Walker put down his chopsticks as well, glanced at his watch, and then said, "Alright, let’s do something else to take your mind off it."
Chloe was puzzled. "Like what?"
Walker said, "There’s a movie theater nearby. Want to go see a movie?"
Chloe refused. "No, I want to go see my grandmother."
