Chapter 250

Jeffrey paused.

Seeing he’d struck a nerve, Gregory kept going. “Ms. Jensen’s friends will definitely say she made the right move. They’ll be like, ‘He already looks awful now that they’re divorced.“”

“If you’ve got that much free time, I’ll call your parents and have them set you up on some blind dates,” Jeffrey said flatly.

Gregory quickly replied, “Not bored, no need.”

Jeffrey didn’t say anything else. He just lowered his gaze and went back to work.

It was past midnight again. Gregory called Stanley. “Mr. Garcia, you got a minute?”

Stanley said, “I’m listening.”

“Mr. Hanson’s been working nonstop lately. He’s barely getting three or four hours of sleep a night,” Gregory said, his worry clear. “Could you maybe talk some sense into him?”

There was a brief pause on the line.

After about ten seconds, Stanley’s voice came through again. “Is he eating properly?”

Gregory answered truthfully, “His meals are regular.”

He cats on time, puts in extra hours at work, and goes to the gym upstairs for an hour every afternoon.

His routine is almost the same as when Ms. Jensen was around, but now he’s even more focused on work and hardly ever talks–it’s like he’s a machine running on a set program.

“Then just leave him be,” Stanley said without hesitation. “It’s not like he hasn’t done this before.”

“He used to be able to handle anything back when he was younger,” Gregory said, catching Stanley’s drift right away. “But now that he’s pushing thirty, I’m seriously worried his body can’t keep up like before.”

“Even if he was fifty, he’d still be stronger and better at dealing with stress than you,” Stanley replied in his usual deadpan way. “If he wants to pull extra hours, let him. If you want to clock out on time, just say so–he’s not gonna make a big deal out of it.”

Gregory couldn’t help feeling complicated about all this.

He pretty much had nothing left to do these days. He literally just watched Mr. Hanson work overtime and made sure he got his three meals.

Honestly, he kind of wished Mr. Hanson would give him something to actually do.

“You’re really not gonna come check on him?” Gregory pressed.
