The old master waved his hand and ordered Andrius, “I won‘t be at ease with Dr. Jacobs going back solate. Go and see her off.” Andrius turned to look at Byron‘s expression. Seeing that he was notunhappy, he knew he had agreed to it and was about to nod when Leon‘s voice rang out untimely,“There‘s no need to trouble yourself. I also happen to have an online seminar soon so I, too, have to goback early. I‘ll send Rosalie back on the way.”
After that was said, Andrius clearly felt the air pressure around him falling again. He cleared his throatand was about to snatch back the job when another cold voice cut his words off.
“Young Master Leon, since you‘re busy with his work, I don‘t mind sending Miss Jacobs back, “Byronsaid to the crowd. He slowed his voice down, as if afraid that some people might not be able to hearhim clearly. He continued, “It just so happens that I can go visit my daughter at Miss Jacobs‘ place.”
