Chapter 1026

“I was not feeling very well. I was working from home.” He made an excuse.

James’ face was immediately filled with fake concern.

“You were not well? Are you overworking yourself? How about taking a vacation?”

“No thanks, Dad.”

“Okay. Did you see a doctor? Are you feeling better now?” If anyone saw this scene, they would believe

that James was such a caring father.

They walked out of the elevator, followed by Frankie and James’ assistant.
