Cindy was slightly relieved. She was afraid that Stephen would ask her who the friend was.
"Then I'm going to work."
She turned around and ran down in a flash.
Stephen followed her downstairs and found that a black Phaeton was parked in front of their house. Through the windshield, Stephen saw Harley in the driver's seat.
Stephen walked over. "Is this your friend?"
Cindy had not yet got into the car when she heard Stephen's voice. She trembled nervously and glanced back. "Stephen."
Stephen stared coldly at Harley. "We have many cars and drivers. Mr. Dane, you didn’t need to come here personally."
Stephen's voice was frosty. Anyone could see that he was annoyed.
However, Harley was calm. "Cindy is my girlfriend. I came to drive her to work. It's no big deal."
Harley paused. "What's more, Cindy is now working in my company. It's convenient for me to pick her up."
Due to the presence of Cindy, Stephen couldn’t quarrel with Harley. Stephen frowned at Harley for a moment and said," You're just Cindy's boyfriend. Don't be too confident."
Stephen hinted that her sister might marry another man.
Cindy understood it and flushed. "Stephen!”
Afraid that Cindy would be mad at him, Stephen said, "Take care on the road."
He then turned around and went back home.
Cindy was very embarrassed. She got into the car and said to Harley, "Don't take it to heart, Mr. Dane. Stephen is just concerned about me."
However, what Harley cared about was another thing. "What did you call me, Ms. James?"
Cindy was frightened. She had been Harley's secretary for more than a year. Harley usually called her Cindy. Whenever he called her Ms. James, something big had happened.
Over the past year, Cindy had been conditioned to respond when hearing him call her Ms. James. She subconsciously said, "I’m sorry, Mr. Dane."
