"Ugh, can I skip that?" Vernon groaned out of pain. He really didn't want to go to work right now.
He'd rather watch Mackie's performance. Even if the show was over, he still wanted to congratulate his niece for doing a great job.
He also wanted to watch over Chloe and Mackie, ensuring they were safe, even if he could only do it on the phone.
She chuckled and shook her head, "No, you can't. Work is work," Chloe insisted.
Vernon snorted annoyedly, "Fine, I'll take a bath. But you must answer my call later. I'll call you when I'm in my car."
Chloe smiled thin. She couldn't help thinking that Vernon's stickiness was so cute.
It reminded her so much of Little Vernon, who would stick by her side no matter what.
"Okay, just take a bath and prepare yourself to work first. Your suit is on the sofa," Chloe mentioned, and she hung up the call soon after.
She stared at the empty stage for a while.
