Chapter 387 Tommy, You're Really Attentive


So, Alaric was supposed to just chill and recover for the next five months, right? But then Marigold kicked the bucket, and there was this huge safety mess at the construction site.

If everything had gone smoothly, Stellan could've wrapped up her five-month gig as acting director. But with all this drama, it looked like she couldn't stick around any longer.

On the other hand, if she bailed now, it would seem like she was ditching the scene as soon as things got messy. She was totally stuck on what to do.

Alaric slapped an ice pack on her for a bit, and only when the swelling went down a bit did he chill out.

"Looks like the swelling's gone down a bit," Alaric said, feeling bad for her. "You knew they were all worked up, but you still got involved. You've got two assistants now. You don't need to jump in." Stellan hung her head and mumbled, "I'm sorry, Alaric."

"I said it's cool. No one wanted this to happen, but now that it has, we gotta deal with it," Alaric told her. "I'll get the driver to take you home. Get some rest. I'll handle this mess."

"Okay." Stellan knew hanging around wouldn't help and would just make things worse.

The driver took Stellan back to the Knight Mansion. Alaric plopped down on the sofa, let out a big sigh, and leaned back, feeling drained.

This accident really messed with the company's rep. The jewelry company's construction project was totally on hold, and the safety team was doing a deep dive into the safety gear at the site. When the project could get back on track, if it could, was still up in the air. The internet was blowing up with criticism.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Alaric said, "Come in."

Tommy walked in, holding a hot water bottle. Seeing only Alaric in the office, he greeted respectfully, "Mr. Knight."
