Eleven Years All to the Wrong Man novel Chapter 297

Inside the Cooper Group tower.

Jason had noticed that his boss had been acting strangely lately.

Every time he went in to deliver materials, drop off documents, or report on work, his boss seemed completely distracted.

Like right now. He had just delivered the list from the HR department and was about to leave the office when his boss suddenly called out to him.

"Are you busy?"

Jason stopped and turned to face him.

Are you busy?

In the corporate world, that phrase was loaded.

When a boss asked if you were busy, it almost certainly meant he had another task for you.

This put him in a tough spot. Saying he wasn't busy meant accepting the task. Saying he was would be a polite refusal.

As a dedicated corporate drone, Jason knew the game well. Thinking of his $150,000 monthly salary, he finally shook his head and said cautiously, "Not at all. What's up, Mr. Cooper?"

"Good. I need to talk to you about something. Have a seat."

Evan stood up, poured a glass of water, and placed it in front of Jason.

"Oh, Mr. Cooper, I can get it myself! Please, don't trouble yourself…"

Seeing his boss serve him water nearly made Jason jump out of his skin.

"What are you so worked up about? It's just a glass of water. Sit down."

Evan placed a hand on his shoulder, guiding him to sit.

Jason sat down tensely, his hands placed neatly on his knees, his back perfectly straight.

"I… uh, have a friend."
