"I…" Kylie was about to explain, but Liana didn't give her a chance to speak.
"Enough excuses. Get here now." With that, she hung up.
Kylie took a deep breath, barely eating a few more bites of her breakfast, before standing up to leave.
Jim noticed that and said, "Ms. Clark, you barely ate. Was the food not to your liking?"
"No, it's not that. I just don't have time. I need to head to the Vance residence."
"You can't skip your breakfast, especially when you have low blood sugar," Jim said. He was worried and handed her a sandwich. "I'll have the driver prepare the car. You can eat this on the way."
Samuel's cars were all high-end, and he had a mild case of germophobia. He definitely wouldn't want food smells lingering inside.
As she thought of that, Kylie politely declined. "It's okay, Jim."
Jim saw right through her hesitation and smiled. "Don't worry. I'll have the driver take a different car."
She felt a little embarrassed having been seen through but also warm inside. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Jim."
"Go ahead."
Once she was in the car, she called Jeremiah, apologizing for the last-minute change. Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up in front of one of the villas at the Vance residence.
