Josie was injured, and for a good while, Arnold ceased to bother her. Perhaps he knew he was in the wrong, having broken the rules, and was intentionally waiting for her wounds to heal. Her arm was injured, greatly slowing down the progress of the design sketches. Seeing that she couldn't even lift her hand, Lachlan simply told her to forget it and focus on her recovery first. Josie, seated in his office, half-jokingly asked, "What, are you taking on the responsibilities from Mr. Mills' side for me?"

Lachlan set down his cup of coffee. "Aren't you close with him? Alice, I've noticed that your connections back home are more extensive than I've imagined."

Josie's smile faded. "They're all entanglements from the past."

"Even if you don't seek help from Robyn, Dexter will sort things out for you, right?" Lachlan sounded somewhat jealous. It seemed he had heard quite a bit about the situation.

Her expression was unreadable, and Lachlan realized this. He nodded, then retrieved a salve from the cabinet and placed it before her. "This will be beneficial for your wound. Give it a try," he suggested. Just then, a commotion arose from outside. Laura had arrived, bringing with her an abundance of pastries, which stirred a wave of excitement among the employees.
