Lyra Smith massaged her slightly bloated stomach, slowly sat up, and said, "…I didn't intend to check up on him!"
To prove she didn't mean to check up on Morris, she repeated it three times with great sincerity, "I honestly never thought about it, and I don't even need to know, I really don't!"
She was more than just a little confused.
Even a bit frightened.
At first, she thought that Ivan had reported Morris's schedule to impress her, but she never thought that one day, she'd need to check Morris's whereabouts.
Ivan smiled and explained, "Mrs. Jackson, don't worry. It's Mr. Jackson's idea to let me report his daily schedule to you."
Lyra nodded when she heard this, "Oh, I see."
Ivan said, "Yes, Mrs. Jackson."
With each mention of 'Mrs. Jackson,' Ivan became smoother and more confident.
It must have been Morris's instructions to have everyone around her change the way they address her.
