Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 297

on purpose.

“Should I keep it, or do you want to take it yourself?” John asked when she did not speak.

“I’ll take it.” Sierra reached out and took the keys in one smooth motion, her tone as natural as ever. “Otherwise, Sis Jenny will blame me for not cleaning up after myself when I get back.”

With that one line, she turned the keys into company business.

John kept his eyes on her.

Sierra felt off balance and couldn’t stop tensing. Right now, all he had to do was say they weren’t office keys but her home keys. Everyone would start guessing about their relationship.

At best, they would think something improper was going on between them. At worst, they would guess they were husband and wife.

“Don’t be this careless next time.” John swallowed the words that had risen to his throat and chose not to make it difficult for . her. “You don’t just represent yourself. You represent your team lead, too.”

“Understood.” Sierra played the role of the obedient subordinate.

John said nothing more. After telling everyone to go find the person in charge of them, he left the games division and went up to the CEO’s office on the eighth floor. Other than to take care of Sierra, his objective for this trip was to inspect the branch and review each department’s results.

The Harbor City branch was under Solomon’s leadership. After what Solomon had pulled, John fully intended to take a hard look at his performance.

“All the managers and directors are already waiting in the conference room.” Robin held his laptop as he reported. “Every department except the games division had a call with Mr. Solomon last night.”

“What did Solomon say?” John asked.

“Nothing in particular,” Robin answered. “He told them to report honestly and to let us check anything we want.”

That didn’t surprise John.

Solomon usually didn’t leave any loose ends. His ability to run a company was on par with John’s. The only reason he had lost the succession to John was that before, he still had things to worry about and hadn’t dared to take risks.

Meanwhile, John had been driven by pent–up anger and chose to gamble with risks. In the end, he managed to seize tinal decision–making power at Henderson Group.

They reached the conference room soon after, Just as they were about to go in, John’s phone rang. He saw it was those two idiots and answered without hesitation.

“What is it?”

“Boss, Lucas went to the family residence,” Lance reported with barely hidden excitement. “Do we move now?”

“Wait until he comes out. Make your move then,” John said, his eyes growing even darker. “Make sure to take good care of him.

“No problem,” Lance answered at once.

When the call ended, John sent a message to Lucy.

“Wouldn’t it just be easier to eavesdrop on them?” Lucy replied in her usual lazy tone.

John sent back a voice message with a straight face. “This is a domestic issue. We don’t break the law unless we have to.”

Robin went silent.

Lucy went silent, too.

John made it sound like they had never eavesdropped on anyone before.

“Got it.” Lucy tossed back a reply.

Eavesdropping or hijacking cameras were no different. It all depended on what the boss wanted.

John put his phone away and walked into the conference room.
