To avoid making the same mistake twice, Leona Grant made a point of checking the caller ID this time.
The screen showed a call from the butler. His heart sank.
He was worried something might happen to Annabelle Linton, so he'd had the butler watch over her in secret, just in case. The butler would never call him for no reason...
Leona Grant answered the phone, his expression grim. Then, after hearing what was on the other end, his face changed in an instant, and he bolted out the door.
Chase had been looking down. When he glanced up, his boss was already gone.
Chase: "..."
He rolled his eyes so hard they nearly got stuck in the back of his head.
'It had to be about Miss Linton,' he thought. 'So much for ignoring her, Mr. CEO. What happened to not even giving her the time of day?'
'Pathetic!'
...
Leona Grant floored it all the way back to the villa, running several red lights along the way.
