His expression turned grim at once as he glanced at Kylie, who was drunk and spouting nonsense, before turning to look at Colin and the rest.
Noticing their shocked expressions, the man knew that it would be difficult for him to explain himself.
In order to prevent more “surprises” coming from the woman's mouth, Nathan stepped forward and carried Kylie in his arms, heading upstairs.
Under the shocked gazes of Colin and the rest, Nathan walked into Kylie's room with the woman in his arms.
Sage said in a whisper, “Umm...
Would Mr. Cross do anything to...”
Before the man could finish his sentence, Nathan emerged from the room and returned downstairs.
Startled, Sage zipped his mouth right away.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, the two housekeepers were about to leave when they were stopped by Nathan.
“Magda, take some hot water and help to wipe away Ms. Tonkins' sweat.
Make some tea for her to sober up as well. Be careful of her throwing up." “Yes, Mr. Cross,” the servants answered at once.
Then, Nathan turned toward Colin and Sage. “Follow me to the study room,” he said.
After the three men entered the study room and closed the door, Sage was the first one to speak.
“Sir, please don't worry. I will not say a single thing about what happened just now.”
“What happened just now?” Nathan asked, his expression darkening.
Taken aback, Sage froze for a moment before realizing what was going on. He quickly replied, “Oh, right. Nothing happened today.”
With a dour expression, Nathan said, “Stop acting smart. Let me explain so that you guys will know what's going on and not misunderstand the situation.”
Nathan started recounting the previous night's events to his two subordinates, including the fact that Kylie had almost drowned and that he had performed CPR on her in order to save her life.
After hearing Nathan's explanation, Colin and Sage finally understood what happened.
