Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 728 Apology at the Door

"Perhaps," Sadie murmured, her fingers reaching out to remove his mask. "Let me see your face..."

In the nick of time, Micah caught her restless hand, a smile playing on his lips. "The familiarity you sense is born from the mask I wear. Why risk spoiling that sensation?"

"Well said." Sadie conceded, a pang of realization washing over her. She feared that if she saw his face clearly, she might lose that enchanting feeling. Thus, she withdrew her hand, resigning herself to a quiet wait for the sunrise. Micah, in a silent act of companionship, removed his coat and draped it over Sadie without making contact. Over the past two years, he had often fantasized about her being by his side, watching the sunrise together. Now, his fantasy was finally becoming a reality.

As the horizon began to blush with the fiery hues of dawn, the autumn mountaintop reflected the beauty of the awakening day. Sadie, in high spirits, stretched her arms wide, basking in the rare spectacle. Micah yearned to hold her close, but he remained still, understanding that some things needed time to unfold.

The sun continued its ascent, bathing them in warm sunlight. Sadie finally tore her gaze away from the spectacle, closed the convertible top, and began the descent down the mountain. However, before they reached the halfway point, they encountered Annika and Arya, who had come in search of her. The two cars came to a simultaneous halt, facing each other.

Annika exited her vehicle, her head bowed in respect. "Miss James!" she greeted.

Sadie, slightly displeased, remained silent. Instead, she turned to Micah, asking, "Can you drive?"

"Of course." Micah nodded.

Sadie exited the car, handbag in tow, and handed the driver's seat over to Micah. "You drive home and await my call," she instructed generously.

"All right," Micah replied, shifting gears and pressing on the gas pedal.

Arya prepared to reverse to make way, but Micah skillfully maneuvered the car sideways, narrowly avoiding the Rolls-Royce in front, and drove directly from the edge of the cliff. The car sped away, half of its wheels hanging in the air in a display of precise control, leaving everyone astounded.

"Wow!" Arya exclaimed, leaning out of the car window, her eyes wide with astonishment as she watched the disappearing car. "Am I hallucinating?"

"This man's driving skills are extraordinary," Annika echoed, equally shocked.

"Interesting," Sadie mused, squinting as she watched the retreating figure. She found herself eagerly anticipating their next meeting!

"Miss James, who is he?" Arya asked, her admiration for skilled drivers evident.

"Clearly, he's the mysterious man in the mask," Annika retorted disdainfully. "Didn't you see him earlier?"

"No, I think he's more than just an ordinary Mr. Clemens," Arya countered excitedly. "With such skills, he could easily be a professional racer. Why would he do anything else?" "Ahem!" Annika coughed, a subtle reminder for Arya to be mindful of her words.

Arya quickly clarified, "No, what I meant was..."

"You talk too much," Sadie interjected, her gaze cold.

"Sorry, Miss James, I understand my mistake," Arya apologized, her head bowed in fear.

Without another word, Sadie headed straight for her car, Annika and Arya trailing behind as they drove home.

Upon entering the yard, a maid hurriedly approached to report, "Miss James, the Clemens family's people came yesterday."

"Hmm?" Sadie questioned, "What did they want?"

"They claimed that our family's hawk frightened their heir and heiress, as well as their pet. They demanded that we get rid of it immediately and also requested that you..." The maid's voice trailed off, her hesitation evident. "Speak!" Sadie commanded, unbuttoning her shirt as she made her way into the house.

"They requested that you apologize in person," the maid finished, her voice barely above a whisper.

Sadie halted in her tracks, a mocking smile gracing her lips. "Apologize?"

"They really have some nerve," Annika growled in annoyance. "We've kept Coco locked in a cage the whole time; how could it have possibly scared their heir, heiress, and pet?"
