Claire: That good subordinate of yours, the one named Morgan, got my best friend pregnant!
Adrian Quincy: ...
Claire: So what are you going to do about it?
Adrian Quincy: This is a complicated situation. I'll speak with her in person when I get back tonight.
Claire: Okay.
Claire Sinclair put her phone down and led her friend into the kitchen, ready to cook her something delicious.
The two friends hadn't seen each other in so long, so they spent the whole afternoon chatting after they ate.
When night finally fell, Adrian Quincy hurried home, looking weary from his travels. Claire Sinclair immediately went to greet him. "Adrian, you're back."
He responded with his customary kiss on her brow.
But The Great Demon King Quincy didn't say a word to her. Instead, he called Faye Dean into the study.
Claire Sinclair pressed her ear against the door, trying to eavesdrop, but the soundproofing was too good. She couldn't hear a thing.
'Honestly, why won't he let me in on it...'
