The assistant, trying to be helpful, was met with Ariana's glare. "I'm fine. Just keep your comments to yourself and get back to work. No one's expecting you to be mute!" Ariana's pride wouldn't let her admit weakness in front of Chloe.

Chloe, unperturbed, printed out some documents and handed them to Ariana. "Take a look at these and sign them if everything's okay."

"Maybe you should see a doctor. Your health is important," Chloe said, more out of concern for the project's progress than for Ariana's well-being.
