“Nearly there. If there’s pressing business, don’t Let me keep you.”
Casting a quick look at his wristwatch, Bryson said, “There are some unresolved issues back at the company. I’ll have Brayden stay with you. Give me a ring once you’re home.”

With a confident thump on his chest, Brayden declared, “You have my word, Miss Moore will reach home under my watch!”
Once Bryson was gone, Declan’s expression darkened.

The officer before Hannah abruptly pressed down on the document.
“Apologies, Miss Moore. The culprits we nabbed claim to be moneylenders. They allege you owe them a debt, which led them to you.
You need to stay put and cooperate until this is sorted out.”
“Hold on!”
