Jason felt a tingling feeling on his scalp when he heard what Allison said.
Her commanding tone was the same as before.
He did not agree to her request right away but instead asked her, "Ms. Tanner, is there any reason you're looking
for the boss so urgently?"
Allison did not want to tell him that someone scammed her out of all of her money. After all, Jason had a decent
relationship with Luke. She said with a firm tone, "It's none of your business. It's something important, so tell him to
give me a call now."
Jason was not that stupid to ask her why she needed him to relay the message.
From what he knew of Luke's temperament, he would not be bothered to talk to Allison if he could block her
number.
What was more, Allison would never reach out to Luke through him. She would only reach out to him every time
she could not get in contact with Luke.
Jason glanced at Sue, who was next to him. She rolled over as if their conversation miffed her.
He lifted the blanket, got out of bed, walked out of the bedroom, and closed the door before he said to Allison, "Ms.
Tanner, it's likely that Mr. Crawford has already gone to bed at this hour. I'll pass him the message tomorrow
morning."
"I said now!" Allison was driven up the wall. 'How dare a mere employee bargain with me?!'
"I'm sorry. Not only is it the holidays but it's also after hours. I can't help you convey your message to Mr. Crawford
now. If you need to talk to him urgently, you can contact him yourself." Jason had a good temper, but his attitude
became unwelcoming considering how poorly Allison acted.
"You..." Allison did not expect Jason to turn her down. It was driving her up the wall.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSophian knew that something was wrong. It would be impossible to contact Luke if she offended Jason. She threw
caution to the wind and said loudly, "Mr. Doyle, hello. Please pass the message to Mr.
Crawford tomorrow morning, then. Thank you and rest well."
Allison glared at her.
Sophian had no choice but to hang up the phone. She explained, "Ms. Allison, if you offend Mr. Crawford's assistant
now, no one will be able to contact Mr. Crawford for you."
Allison threw the phone on the coffee table.
Sophian sighed, picked up the phone, and said, "Ms. Allison, it's fairly late. We'll just wait until tomorrow."
Allison snorted coldly to express her dissatisfaction. "He's just an assistant. How dare he speak to me like that?!"
Sophian felt helpless and cast down.
‘How did Allison survive in Crawford Manor before I met her? How did she fight against the Crawfords and Madam
Susan with her violent temper? Could it be that she always used Luke as a shield to survive in Crawford Manor?'
"Ms. Allison, you're asking him for a favor. It's not that he doesn't want to help, but you need to consider that he's
Mr. Crawford's assistant. It's late. If Mr. Crawford has gone to bed and he disturbs him, he'll have pissed off his
boss... That's why he turned you down." Sophian persuaded her patiently.
Everyone would understand the logic.
Allison did not pay Jason his salary. He would not offend Luke for Allison's sake!
Allison finally calmed down as she processed what Sophian said.
Sophian was right.
Even so, the anxiety she felt did not allow her to calm down.
Sophian knew that Allison would not be able to sleep tonight, so she suggested, "Didn't you bring the sleeping pills
prescribed by the doctor when you came back? Why don't you take one, rest well, and talk to Mr. Doyle again
tomorrow?"
"Okay." Allison was persuaded by her and gradually calmed down.
Although she still could not calm down in her heart, she knew that she could not do anything but rest.
Sophian breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Allison had stopped throwing a tantrum. She was afraid that Allison
would go all out and burn the bridge with the Crawfords and everyone related to them. ...
Jason frowned at the busy tone on the other end of the phone.
When he was about to return to the bedroom, Sue came out and looked at him, confused. "Who called you at this
hour?"
"It's the boss' mother." Jason said helplessly, "I woke you up?"
Sue shook her head and said, "I'm thirsty and want to go get some water."
"I'll get it for you," Jason said. He then walked to the kitchen to bring her a glass of water.
"Thank you." Sue took a sip and said, "Mr. Crawford's mother called you to reach out to Mr. Crawford?"
"Mm." Jason nodded.
Sue knew that Allison would only contact Jason when she could not reach Luke.
Sue glanced at the time and could not help but complain, "Is there something wrong with her? She called you at
this hour because she wanted you to contact Mr. Crawford? Come on."
"Never mind her. I'll talk to my boss tomorrow." Jason yawned and put his arms around Sue's waist. "My love, let's
go back to bed."
"Mm." Sue put the glass on the table. She was not in a hurry to clean it up and went to the bedroom with Jason.
Before he lay down, Jason took another look at his phone, thinking whether he should mute it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe never had the habit of muting his phone. With Luke, there was no real rest even during vacations and breaks.
If the boss and T Corporation needed him, he must return to his post immediately.
"What are you thinking about?" Sue asked after seeing that he did not lie down.
"I was wondering if I should mute my phone." Jason did not want to be disturbed by Allison again.
"Did you hang up or did she?" Sue asked.
"She hung up. Why?" Jason looked at her suspiciously.
Sue yawned. She knew why he was struggling. It was because he was worried about missing Luke's texts and calls.
However, Luke had been pretty quiet these past few days. He probably did not need Jason for anything, so it would
not be a problem even if he muted his phone.
"Since she hung up, you don't have to worry. She won't call you again," Sue affirmed.
"How do you know?" Jason was surprised. ‘She knows about Allison's stubbornness better than me?'
"Don't forget, I used to be close to Bianca. Women hang out and talk about their families, husbands, and
troublesome mothers-in-law. I know about how horrible Allison is." Sue did not have a good impression of Allison
because of her ability to cause drama.
"Okay." Jason believed her, put the phone on the wireless charging station to charge, then lay down and continued
to sleep with his arms around Sue.
The next day.
X City.
Luke was content both physically and mentally when he woke up. As he was satisfied, he felt that the air in the
room and life was sweet.
He took a look at Luca, who was beside him.
She rolled over and was still sleeping...
Luke glanced at the time. Even though she had promised to prepare breakfast for the children, it was still early. He
did not plan to wake her up yet.
