บท 46: James

Michael's facial expression immediately changed when he heard James' tone which was not as polite as usual, even the man only called his name, no like usual when he call him Mr. Michael or sir. 

It seemed that James had also noticed the change in expression on Michael's face. 

"I'll say this as your friend," said James, still in his previous tone. 

Michael's brow furrowed when he heard that.

Friend? Wasn't James his secretary? Why did the man say he was a friend? Are they close like a friend? Or he was his friend before James became his secretary? 

Michael himself is not a man who is picky to make friends, especially to the point of not wanting to be friends because that person has a different status with him. 

But for some reason, hearing James say he was his friend, it felt very familiar.
