Chapter 1204 Two People (Thirteen)

• Since they were in the office and the security guards were posted outside, Chadwick Fullner obviously couldn’t just throw his arms around Madison Sawyer. He only gave her shoulder a light pat. “Alright. We handle it today.”
• When Lauren came back again, the swagger from earlier was gone. He sat and let out a long sigh. “Miss Sawyer, folks were a little worked up just now. We’re getting old. We just want something steady. With this ‘business consultant’ policy you rolled out, some of us might have trouble even putting food on the table. So people panicked. We weren’t trying to disrespect you or make trouble.”
• Madison shot a quick look at Chadwick Fullner, a deep, helpless smile tugging at her lips. Chadwick found it darkly funny, too. He really wanted to know how many faces Lauren had, to switch them so freely. No wonder he could survive no matter what. He sighed to himself: These days, only the thick-skinned make it. The ones who ditch shame entirely live the best.
