Chapter: 339

Hank boldly ventured as he peered out the window, "Hey! Ms. Bennett?"

Caden's eyebrows twitched, prompting him to look up.

Only cars filled the view outside.

Alicia was nowhere to be seen.

Realizing the deception, Caden's expression chilled. “Are you risking your job?"

Hank deduced, "Mr. Ward, you're preoccupied with Ms. Bennett."

It appeared finding Alicia was key to restoring Caden's usual demeanor.

Hank grasped his next steps clearly.

Realizing humor was futile, he concentrated on driving.

Unexpectedly, as they halted at a red light, Hank actually spotted Alicia crossing the street with Monica.

They were deep in conversation, laughing together.

Hank turned to Caden excitedly. "Mr. Ward, Ms. Bennett!"

Caden was skeptical.

He didn't even look up this time.

Undeterred, Hank shouted out the window, "Ms. Bennett!"

Caden remained quiet.

He glanced up and saw only a fleeting view of Alicia's back.

She vanished into the crowd shortly after.

The street was too bustling for her to notice Hank's calls.

As the light switched to green, Hank resumed driving.

He sighed. “I should not have lied to you before.”

Caden considered him naive.

Caden's frown deepened. “What does it matter if she sees me?"

Hank fell quiet.

After driving a little further, he stopped the car.

He leaned out slightly. "Ms. Bennett and her companion just entered a pharmacy. Do you think she's hurt or ill?"

Caden recalled her spirited presence earlier that day. "She's capable. I doubt a skirmish with ten could slow her down."

"I still think it's worth checking out. Don't you think so, Mr. Ward?"

Hank glanced at Caden to gauge his reaction.

Caden kept a stoic face. “If you're so concerned, you should check yourself."
