Waylon Lewis glanced in Hope Williams' direction, his deep eyes clouded with intricate emotions. "Hmm, don't let her hear about this."
Thomas Hughes tightened his tone. "You mean to hide it from Mrs. Lewis?"
"Yes."
Thomas Hughes could understand; the Boss probably didn't want his wife worrying unnecessarily.
But…
"Boss, Mrs. Lewis seems to be suspicious already."
Considering Mrs. Lewis' sharp mind, it was impossible for her not to pick up on something. She was likely waiting for the Boss to return and explain.
Waylon Lewis' brows furrowed deeper. Lying to her was something he increasingly found himself struggling with.
He'd just have to take it one step at a time.
Waylon exhaled slowly, seemingly adjusting his emotions. When he returned to Hope's side, he deliberately softened his imposing demeanor.
When Hope saw him return, she furrowed her brows and closely studied his expression, as if searching for a crack in his facade.
