Aiden Howkins had no right to be concerned about his superior's woman, but he couldn't stop himself from asking, "Claire Sinclair, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. What are you doing here?" Claire Sinclair walked up to him.
Aiden Howkins gave an awkward laugh. "I was just passing by."
Seeing him here, Claire Sinclair guessed that man must have returned as well, so she asked, "Is Mr. Quincy back?"
"No, Young Master Quincy sent me back first. I'm on a mission."
"Oh..." Claire Sinclair responded, her expression unchanging.
Aiden Howkins assumed she was acting this way because she was heartbroken over the incident. He tried to comfort her, "Young Madam, Young Master Quincy has been genuinely busy lately. That's why he wasn't here when you needed him. If he knew what happened to you, he would fly back immediately, I guarantee it. I hope you can give him a chance."
Claire Sinclair was utterly confused. "What are you trying to say?"
