Always Been Yours Chapter 610
Ar the end of her sentence, Stefania furrowed her brows in dissatisfaction, but Nicholas didn’t think that anything his mother mentioned was a problem at all.
“There will always be someone to take care of Greg. There’s Andrew and the others.”
However, Stefania was still unsatisfied. “This and that aren’t the same thing!”
Meanwhile, Gregory looked around for ideas to appease his grandmother’s ruffled feathers.
“Grandma, I’m fine. When Miss Tessa isn’t around, I can be with Daddy. Moreover, we also have the servants at home and Andrew. So, I won’t be left alone.”
The child was very understanding as he stood entirely on his father’s side and Nicholas gave him a look of approval. On the other hand, Stefania couldn’t win against the two in a verbal spar, so she could only set aside the topic for now.
A while later, Nicholas went to work and had meetings the whole morning. However, when it was almost noon, Edward knocked and came in.
“President Sawyer, someone is here to look for you, and she’s a woman…”
Toward the end, he trailed off and peered at his boss hesitantly.
Nicholas knitted his brows when he noticed Edward’s tentativeness. “Who is it?”
“It’s Janet Brenner. Miss Brenner…” he answered honestly.
Nicholas was startled by the answer and inquired, “What brought her here?”
“She didn’t mention the reason.” Then, an equally confused Edward glanced at Nicholas, who had tightly knitted his brows, and asked, “Are you going to meet her?”
Nicholas thought for a second and instructed, “Let her in.”
“Okay.” Edward nodded and left.
A couple of minutes later, he brought a tall, slender woman having a stoic expression and wearing stilettos into the room.
The woman looked about twenty-five years of age, and she kept her hair in a neat bob. Her well sculptured features were sharp, but they retained the softness of a woman, and she looked charming
She was dressed in a black fitted suit that looked tidy and suave beyond words and carried a strong, determined air about her.
This woman was Janet Brenner.
“President Sawyer, Miss Brenner is here,” Edward announced politely.
Janet lifted her eyes at the introduction and saw Nicholas seated at the desk in the spacious office, sitting on a genuine leather office chair in his tailored black suit.
Even though he was seated, his perfectly proportioned body was as evident as his height..
As though borne from the hands of a master, his face was so intricate, and he was exuding an alluring air with the dignity of an emperor.
Janet realized that he was even more mature and attractive than she remembered him as she observed the man before her. “It’s been a while, Nicholas.” She curled her red lips into a smile as she paced a few steps forward gracefully.
Unfortunately, Nicholas merely nodded in composure. “Take a seat. Get Miss Brenner a cup of coffee, Edward.”
Edward nodded in acknowledgment and returned a short while later with two cups of coffee in his hands. After he placed them down gently, he stood at the side, awaiting his next task.
Finally, Nicholas gave a cursory glance at the woman seated across from himself as he asked indifferently, “Aren’t you supposed to be abroad? Why did you show up here all of a sudden?”
At that, Janet placed the coffee cup down and returned his gaze with concerned eyes. “I suddenly appeared because I heard that you immobilized the guards from the Night Alliance. Because I’m a little worried about you, I specially asked for leave to visit you to find out if something happened to you.”
In her opinion, it must have been a grave matter if he had immobilized the guards from the Night Alliance.
Nicholas figured out why she was here and said nonchalantly, “I’m alright.”
Janet was used to his aloof behavior, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed because she thought that he would be happy to see her after not meeting her for such a long time. After all, they were partners who had been through life and death together.
Even though she felt uneasy, she didn’t show a trace of it on her face.
Curious, she asked, “Since you’re alright, then you’re using the guards for=”
“I’m only using the guards to protect someone.”
Nicholas wasn’t keen to hide the truth, but Janet was a little shocked by his answer. “Someone from your family?”
One had to be aware that just any of the guards in the Night Alliance was comparable to the top assassins of the world.
