chapter 615
Duncan expressed concern upon noticing that the scratches on Liberty’s face had not fully healed.
“It’ll be fine in a couple of days. Thank you for your concern,” Liberty replied, standing two meters away from his desk.
“Have a seat,” Duncan urged her.
Liberty neither spoke nor moved closer; she simply stood there, looked at Duncan, and calmly asked, “Did you need me for something?”
“Yes, well… I wanted to inquire about your sister’s situation.”
“Seren?” Liberty instinctively responded, “Mr. Lewis, my sister is already married.”
Duncan was momentarily taken aback but quickly regained his composure. “Don’t misunderstand, Liberty. That’s not what I meant. I’m fully aware that your sister is married and that her husband works at York Corporation. Our company has business dealings with York Corporation, and I consider Zachary a friend.”
“The issue is, I spoke with Zachary last night, and towards the end of our call, I mentioned the incident from yesterday evening. Your brother-in-law seemed quite upset that your sister hadn’t informed him about it. I worried that they might argue because I inadvertently revealed what happened.”
“I was so troubled that I couldn’t concentrate on my work, so I decided to call you to check on the situation.”
Liberty paused before responding, “They should be fine. Seren was still asleep when I left for work this morning, so I think she’s okay.”
Duncan struggled to obtain a complete answer and settled for saying, “That’s good. You didn’t seem very happy when you came in earlier. Did you have a disagreement with your colleagues?”
He had a keen eye; Liberty’s expression had been cold upon her arrival.
She fell silent.
