Masuk“You should double-check,” Maddox tells him. “You’re her supervisor, and taking the blame is part of the job. What you just did to the lady is unethical.” “I sincerely apologise too. It was my fault for not checking, she was due for another evaluation this week and I—.” “Hmm,” I nod, uninterested
I expect Maddox to stay back and flirt with Evelyn, but he accompanies me to James' office, and Evelyn follows us too. Evelyn goes ahead of us, and Maddox takes his time watching her from behind, forcing me to lower my pace as well. James is already on his feet when we enter. He has been avoiding m
“Where were you when she was attacked?” All colour drains from her face. “I—” “Kingston,” Maddox laughs, hitting my chest. “Sorry, he’s a little protective of her, you get it, huh? Mate bonds.” He says, as if trying out the word. “Actually…” “What did you want to speak about?” I demand. They’re
“Let’s meet at the institution to further discuss. There’s a lot I can’t say over the phone.” She says, “Just call me when you get here.” And with that, the line goes dead. Maddox and I share a look, and I shake my head. I don’t like the sound of Evelyn’s tone. I’ve been uneasy about Aeliana being

KINGSTON I fucked up. Multiple times during our altercations I wanted to go away, to leave her before it escalated too far but I can’t bring myself to walk away from her.
