I couldn't help but glance at Oliver.

I thought he was the kind of man who only realized what he was missing after he lost his partner. He probably wanted Lauren right now.

"What are we supposed to do now that you're weak and sick? Why do you do this to yourself?" Lauren walked in briskly, pulled Ivanna along with her and said, "Hurry upstairs and lie down."

I sniffed disapprovingly and said to Lauren, "There's no need to blame me for this. Ask her about it yourself."

Then, I turned to Oliver and said, "Please come in, Oliver. Why are you..."

Before I could finish my sentence, Lauren said, "You should go now, Mr. Oliver. There's nothing here for you, and I'm safe. Don't worry. Thank you for escorting me back today. This is about us women, and there's no need for you to stay. Please leave."

Oliver awkwardly nodded and said to me, "Take care of her. I'm leaving."

He turned and left. He seemed compliant.

Lauren closed the door before the elevator even arrived.
