Chapter 34: He Locked the Door
In order to avoid Jessie from discovering any clues, Kevin would usually have his driver take the hidden route from behind the Quiet River Community. He didn’t expect he would run into Jessie with another man there!
He originally wanted to call her to question her, but just as he was about to ask the bodyguard for his phone, he instantly dismissed the idea.
"Let’s go!" Kevin’s expression was gloomy, clearly in a bad mood.
At this moment, Jessie had no idea Kevin was watching from not far away. She bowed to Steve and said, "Thank you so much for today, Steve. I’ll definitely treat you to a meal when I get the chance. Maybe I’ll invite Lilian to join us."
"No need to wait for another day. How about tonight? I can take you to a famous French restaurant," Steve eagerly suggested, unable to hold back his thoughts.
She was slightly taken aback. Although she found his actions a bit too forward, she only smiled. "I don’t think tonight will work. Besides, Lilian should be home by now."
"Can’t it just be the two of us?" Steve mumbled under his breath.
Despite that, she didn’t catch what he said. When she asked again, he only shook his head.
"At least let me drive you back. It’s not safe this late at night," he insisted.
Initially planning to refuse, Jessie reconsidered due to the earlier incident and agreed.
When they reached her doorstep, Steve seemed reluctant to leave but eventually watched her go inside.
"Oh, by the way, Lilian already told me about that client issue the other day. I’m sorry."
