Chapter 46: Pretending To Leave His Own House
Sawyer wanted to tell her the truth several times, yet he was unable to face the possible consequences.
Even though the number of times he met and talked to her was fewer than his fingers, he could sense her character; she was a woman who didn’t like to take advantage of others.
If she knew he was the homeowner, she might insist on paying the rent in full. And there is no way he could let that happen.
"It’s fine. I don’t mind climbing stairs. I’m just considering this as my light cardio," Abigail smiled, gently patting Sawyer’s arm before walking down the stairs ahead of him.
Sawyer’s jaw dropped as a thought crossed his mind. ’Oh, crap! I hope Brody didn’t move my car to the basement.’
He quickly took out his cell phone and typed a text message:
"Don’t move my car to the basement!" He hit send and inwardly prayed while catching up with Abigail on the stairs.
He tried to convince her to stop going downstairs. Still, Abigail insisted on seeing him off, believing letting him leave alone this late would be rude. Moreover, she expressed concern that the guard on duty might trouble him since it was already midnight.
Sawyer was at a loss for words. He was surprised this woman genuinely didn’t want him in the slightest inconvenience. If only she knew. No one could stop him from leaving or staying; the house is his. Plus, the house’s guards are among his most loyal people.
As they approached the door, he received a reply from Brody.
"No worries, Sir. Your car is in the same spot as you park."
