Chapter 40: She Was Too Naïve
A thin line formed on Sawyer’s forehead, clearly showing his discomfort over Brody’s presence around Abigail. He worried that Brody might accidentally expose him. He almost did it a few moments ago.
Abigail failed to notice Sawyer’s tense expression because Brody stood beside him.
"Miss Abigail—"
"What is it, sir?" Sawyer interrupted coldly. His gaze fixed sharply on Brody.
"Mr. Jones, I just want to inform you that you may park here," Brody said politely, sensing his boss’s annoyance.
"Oh, alright, thanks..." Sawyer replied, turning off the engine and gesturing for Brody with his peripheral gaze once more to leave them alone.
Abigail, overhearing their conversation, became anxious when Brody confirmed that Sawyer could park in the main yard.
Leaning closer to Sawyer to get a better look at Brody, she asked, "Excuse me, Brody. Are you sure we can park here? What if the homeowner returns and my friend’s car is still here? I don’t want you and the other guards in trouble because of that."
Brody tilted his head slightly to get a clearer view of Abigail.
"I can assure you it’s fine, Miss Abigail. In fact, I know for sure the homeowner won’t be back tonight. So, your, uhm, boyfriend can park here until morning—"
Abigail was left speechless and embarrassed.
