Maja's shoulders sagged instantly, a queasy feeling rising in her gut before she dashed to the restroom.

Beck promptly summoned the chef.

"Let's rework her meal plan. She's been off beef lately. Let's switch it to pork and chicken, and add smore warming ingredients

to her soups."

The chef quickly presented a menu. "Mr. Sanders, here are the fruits and vegetables Ms. Maja’s been eating, all air-freighted from

the best farms, and the milk as well. Is there anything you'd like to add?"

Beck thought for a moment about Maja's preferences and crossed off a few vegetables.

By now, Maja had returned from the restroom. "Beck, no need to be so cautious. I just felt a bit upset earlier, that's all."

Still, Beck wasn't ready to let her out of his sight.

"Don’t head back to Greenfield just yet. Stay at the Sanders family estate to recuperate. Meanwhile, I'll have Tyler dig around back

hfor any news, to see what Carol's angle is."

After saying this, he glanced at Tyler.

Tyler immediately raised his hand as if he was taking an oath. "Absolutely, it's on me. I'm the one who blabbered, so I'll take

responsibility."

Maja's gaze then fell on Fitch. "Is Zoey doing alright?"
