Steven's gaze turned cold.
All those project discussions with people were confidential, as business secrets could easily be leaked during communication. But how did news of him rejecting the Anderson family reach her ears?
His eyes were inscrutable, and his voice betrayed no emotion.
"Who told you about this?"
Mary was startled by his words and tone. Had she said something wrong?
She quickly deflected the blame.
"It was a younger family member who told me, so I came to inquire..."
Hearing this, Steven tapped his fingers continuously on the table.
Judging by her words, the younger family member she was referring to should be someone in the Mitchell household. Besides Mary's daughter, who was still in elementary school, there was only one other person.
Cecilia.
