BossNovelChapter 1718:
Faye nearly mentioned she had driven here and could get Lucas home, but she caught herself, swallowing the
words. She simply nodded her agreement.
Vincent started toward the unconscious Lucas, then stopped as his phone's sharp ring cut through the quiet. He
retrieved the device and pressed it to his ear. “Hello?”
Whatever voice reached him through the speaker drained the color from his face. “What? How is that even
possible?”
After a moment, he said, “Fine. | understand. I'm heading there now.”
He ended the call and turned to Faye, frustration written across his features. “I'm sorry, Faye. An emergency has
