Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 616

Sierra picked up her phone and went back to the work messages she had not finished answering. After wrapping things up with the product manager and technical director, she looked at Marcus and Tony again.

Over the past two days, she had received the files on both of them. Everything looked clean and it showed that they were just two ordinary people looking for work.

But after spending this much time with them, the way they saw things and the calm way they handled everything still made her suspicious about who they really were.

Marcus was so calm he almost seemed like an android, while Tony knew so much that he felt like a walking encyclopedia.

"Tony." Sierra decided to test him again.

"You rang, miss?" Tony had a way with words that made everything sound like a drama.

"You said earlier that ninety-five percent of the way Daniel looked at me was about benefits," Sierra said. "How could you tell? Say whatever that's in your mind."

Tony glanced at the man in the passenger seat. "Mr. Marcus, the personal assistant, said bodyguards and drivers aren't allowed to interfere in things like this."

"Aren't you also working as a free secretary?" Sierra asked.

Tony blinked. As he stopped at the red light, he turned and looked at her in disbelief.

Sierra's expression did not change. As always, she looked completely calm. "What?"

"Marcus is a bad influence on you," Tony said. "The old you would've at least offered me a salary. You wouldn't really use me for free."

Sierra said nothing. If she answered that, she would have to pay him. Tony seemed even more complicated than Marcus, so she still needed time to understand him.

Tony had pulled the conversation off course the last few times and she had instinctively followed him. As she laid awake in bed that night thinking it through, making sure it would not happen again the next time they talked.

But Tony really was good at controlling the flow of a conversation. Even though she had been watching it on purpose, it still took several tries before she managed what she had done today.

"That came from the little psychology and microexpression reading I know," Tony said, his tone mostly unchanged. "I watched Daniel very carefully while he was talking to you."

Sierra did not quite believe him. Even if he really knew those things, he should not have sounded that certain. His expression and attitude felt more like he was completely sure of what he was saying. She even suspected Tony had already seen through Daniel's real reason for calling her over.

"Watch longer next time," Sierra said without explaining further. "Try to gather more information from him."

"As you command," Tony replied to Sierra like the drama queen he was.
