Chapter 151

• Tedmond glared at Neil, who began fidgeting nervously. He hadn’t meant it that way. He didn’t intend for things to escalate like this. He had just been joking with Hino and was now in deep trouble.
• “I seriously didn’t mean it that way,” Neil said hurriedly. “I just wanted to joke around with Hino since he kept pestering me to leave without consulting you.”
• Hino flinched at the accusation. Of course, he had said nothing of the sort. Neil was trying to use him as an excuse to get out of trouble. That was what Neil always did back when they were a boss and an employee.
