Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 9
Since I had taken on the work, I did not want to delay it. After all, I would be paid for the work. Although my body was weak after the surgery, my mind was still sharp and functional. Jean Alston was almost in tears when I called her. "Eva, you've finally reached out to me. I thought you had abandoned me!"
Jean was an intern I hired last year and later became my full-time assistant. Though a bit flighty, she was genuine and dedicated to her work.
Most importantly, she could handle solitude well. Design work often required working alone for long periods, and she was really well-suited for this job.
When I left the company, I did ask someone to look after her at work, but it seemed she had not been doing well.
I cleared my throat and asked her to bring me the earlier proposal and design drawings for Dawnstar Corporation.
She hesitated. "Eva, aren't you no longer on this case? I'm afraid they won't give me the files if I ask."
"Just tell them Leonard requested it. Also, inform HR that I'll be working from home these few days, and you're back to being my assistant."
Now that I was going back to work, I would need my own people. I could not do it alone like before. Moreover, I might have to keep working to have money to stay alive.
When Jean arrived at the ward, she was stunned. "Eva, you... you... tumor... hospitalized..."
Reaching my hand out, I looked at her wearily. "Give me the files. Don't worry. The surgery was successful. I won't die for now."
