Afterwards, <b>Kate </b>came to George with <b>an </b>identical inquiry. Clearly, George had also gotten themunication, <b>and </b>he stayed silent in Kate’s presence, who couldn’t discern any variance.
Could it be that <i>I </i>was simply being overly suspicious?
Kate reflected <b>inwardly</b>, sensing a weight bearing down on her chest<b>, </b>stirring profound difort within her.
She couldn’t dispel the feeling that something bad was about to unfold.
She sat on the sofa <b>in </b>a haze, and just then, Linus called her.
“Kate, what are you up to at Summer Estate? Let <b>me </b>take you out for <b>some </b>fun!”
Linus‘ tone was upbeat, and after a fleeting pause, Kate nodded in agreement, saying, “Sure.”
She also feltpelled to clear her thoughts by going out. Otherwise, she sensed an emotional barrier within her, stirring both unease and agitation.
Maybe she <b>was </b>just overly anxious about Eric.

George <b>had </b><b>taken </b>on the role of Kate’s bodyguard, closely monitoring her every action.
George not only had to guarantee Kate’s security but also had to ensure she remained ignorant of Eric’s location.
Eric’s actions posed a massive <b>danger</b>. Kate needed to remain oblivious!
Linus escorted Kate straight to a bar.

Since Linus had recently arrived back in the country, he probably didn’t grasp the present state of affairs in the nation or how many individuals were keeping an eye on Kate.
Kate stayed put in the car, looking slightly confused as she watched Linus and George chat. She was on the verge of getting out of the car, but George stopped her abruptly.
Looking directly at her, George spoke with grave earnestness, “Madam, you can’t exit the car.”
The bar teemed with a diverse array of people, some potentially acting as spies. He couldn’t afford to jeopardise Kate’s safety.
“Why can’t?”
Linus‘plexion turned grim<b>. </b>“I’m her brother. How could I possibly harm her?”

George moved nearer, a hint of despair in his voice as he murmured, “Mr. Linus, having returned. you’re unaware of the current state of affairs. Several people are monitoring Boss and Madam closely now. If Madam sets foot in the bar tonight, I dread someone might target her.
“Do you intend to scare Madam?”
Linus
eyes narrowed abruptly, fixing George with a wary gaze, suspicion creeping into his tone. “What are you implying? Who has Eric angered enough to be chased after?”

Her heart tightened, her thoughts overwhelmed by the vision of Eric being chased.
George sighed quietly, rubbing his forehead before speaking with deference, “No need to worry. Madam. Boss is safe. Mr. Linus was only joking.”
Linus had a sudden realisation, a wave of regret washing over him as he chastised himself silently, murmuring, “Kate, I spoke without thinking and made a mistake. Eric is genuinely exceptional and admirable–why would anyone chase after him? I was just joking, really!”
