Chapter 723

"You don't need to pretend." Cedric said with a laugh as he noticed both Mae and Dave relax.

What shocked Cedric was when his best friend, Ian seemed to tense up and relax at his words as well.

"You knew?" Cedric asked in an angry tone as he glared at Ian. It didn't matter that Dave and Mae didn't tell him, but his most trusted employee and friend chose not to as well.

"Yes, I knew." Ian said with a nod as he maintained his solemn look. 

"And why did you not tell me?" Cedric asked as he crossed his arms on his chest and leaned back against his seat. A look of disappointment crossed his face, making Ian frown.

"Auntie Priscilla never approved of co-worker relationships." Ian decided to say in a straight tone, choosing not to make excuses.

"And because my mother did not like her employees dating, you thought I wouldn't approve?" Cedric asked with a raised eyebrow.
