John blinked.
Robin and Lance secretly gave Tommy a thumbs up at what he said to John.
As expected of their boss’s son!
“Am I really that embarrassing?” John turned to look at Tommy, his usual calm already back in place. “Why do you have to miss me in secret?”
“Isn’t that obvious?” Tommy said as he sent Sierra a message on his watch to let her know he had arrived safely. “If you weren’t that embarrassing, I wouldn’t have to do it in secret.”
“Why were young me?” John asked.
“I wanted
better.” Tommy did not hide it at all.
Tommy spoke to John in a sincere way that he normally would never do. Even John, who was usually thing, found it a little hard to deal with. Still, those words helped lift some of the weight he was carrying
him was not quite as crushing anymore.
le road ahead started looking more and more unfamiliar, Tommy turned to him and asked, “Where are we going?”
ne,” John said.
ommy blinked. “This isn’t the road to Campanile Estate.”
John pressed his lips. He could hardly tell Tommy that Sierra had kicked him out.
Just then, a message popped up on his phone. It was from Sierra.
[Tommy is used to staying at Campanile Estate. If it’s convenient, let him stay there. He has some things he wants to pick up. If it’s not convenient, then don’t force it.]
She had turned down Robin’s earlier suggestion because she did not want too much contact with John, but Tommy was still their son. She could not let the problems between the adults affect him too much.
John replied almost at once. [Alright.]
Sierra did not reply again.
She put away her phone and went with Anna to handle the asset transfer.
Anna had too many assets. The process would take months if they were to transfer everything. In the end, they only transferred enough cash and funds for Sierra to buy back the shares of King Group at the original price and nothing else.
The cash was processed in one day, but the money from the trust funds would take two or three more.
So, Sierra used that time to ask Holly and Nicholas out.
When they saw that she had picked a private room at a bar, both Holly and Nicholas were quite surprised. They both knew she did not like places like bars or clubs, so why did she choose this place?
The second Holly walked into the private room, she asked, “Why hero?”
“I want to test my real alcohol toler here.”
lf ready for everything ahead. “I feel safer with the two of you

“Aren’t you the type who gets drunk after one glass? I remember you didn’t last long after that.” Holly vaguely remembered it.
“That probably isn’t my real limit. When someone I trust is close by, my guard drops. I know that it’s because I’m letting myself get drunk.” Sierra understood herself pretty well.
John had made her drink at those dinners before. But even when their relationship was poor, she knew John would never really put her in danger, and he would not take advantage of her after she got drunk.
He had done things that had hurt her, true. However, he had always respected her when it came to this. So, even though she had forced herself through it, that still was not her true limit.
