Jeremy rushed to carry out the order. He was relieved that the critical period had passed.

Jeremy stopped his words. There were many ears around. He couldn’t possibly warn Kara.

“I didn’t apply for leave,” Kara said briefly, emphasizing that she was not a special employee.

“Then, what about your family? Is there anyone looking after him?”

Kara’s jaw tightened. Susan was allowed to take her time off until Louis got better. Therefore, she did not need to be on guard.

“That’s none of your business, Sir.”
