Chapter 178: Would You?
’Fuck! What the hell I am supposed to say now? I don’t even know where is Young Master right now...but if I try to make another excuse, Boss Clark might really shoot me! He sounds too angry over the call...damn it...my head is spinning now...’
With the worried palpitations stirred inside his chest, Barnes bit his nails while trying to come up with a proper answer by not catching his suspicion. But before he could say a word, suddenly Aiden walked a little closer towards his direction and shrieked on the top of his lungs.
"Oi, bodyguard! Zenith just called me a while ago because he couldn’t reach you over the call, just to let you know that he doesn’t want to be disturbed by anyone right at this moment. He has a splitting headache, so you must be aware how scary he becomes whenever his head hurts, right?"

He knew Zenith had strictly ordered him to keep everything that had happened away from Mr. Clark or anyone else, but to realize he had already found about it beforehand, left Barnes spellbound being stuck in this grave trouble.
"Why aren’t you answering me now, Barnes!?"
"Umm...Err, actually, Sir...I felt i-it wasn’t a major issue that I needed to report to you immediately." His voice stuttered from nervousness, but he squeezed those words out of his throat to make his voice sound confident, "And...Young master had briefly told me that he intend to do some charity work...maybe...t-that’s why, he has helpled an omega in need—"
