Nancy Lockwood had intended to be more discreet, but seeing Claire Sinclair looking so miserable, she immediately called out, "Claire Sinclair, Young Master Quincy invites you to join him for a meal."
Hearing this, Claire Sinclair froze, her face filled with embarrassment.
'How could Nancy say something like that in front of so many people? I don't want anyone to know about my connection to Quincy Manor.'
The others stared at Claire Sinclair in utter astonishment, and some made no effort to hide their envy.
Young Master Quincy had sent his personal bodyguard to invite Claire Sinclair to a meal—not even Governor Lockwood received such treatment!
Claire Sinclair hurried to the entrance, said nothing, and simply pulled Nancy Lockwood away.
Once they were out of the conference hall, Claire Sinclair finally said, "Nancy, what you said back there was too much. My colleagues are going to talk."
