Mia Grant turned to look at Lee. Lee blinked, her expression purely innocent, completely unaware she'd said anything wrong.
"What did you say?" Lee's nonchalant expression threw Mia Grant for a loop, making her wonder if she'd misheard.
Lee, genuinely thinking she hadn't been heard, raised her voice slightly as she repeated herself. "The boss likes you so much. If anything happens, he'll definitely protect you. He won't just abandon you."
"..."
This time, she heard it perfectly clearly.
Mia Grant narrowed her eyes. Her expression flickered rapidly between surprise, confusion, and something rather intriguing.
It was a look that seemed to say, 'Well, well, well. I've finally got something on you.'
"He... said that himself?"
Lee shook her head. "Simon told me."
"Oh." Mia Grant sounded disappointed.
No one could resist a damsel in distress, and Lee was certainly no exception.
