Chapter 333



Ernest had left, and after a refreshing shower, I collapsed onto my bed, reaching for my phone.

A message from Fanny popped up, complete with a photo and a note.

The photo showed Susie, sound asleep, and the note read: "Susie is safe and sound."

Classic Fanny, always knew I could count on her to take care of things.

I quickly typed a reply: "Thanks a bunch, Your Majesty."

No sooner had I sent the message than Fanny's video call came through. Was she waiting for my call?

Knowing she had just made things official with her crush, I was sure she was dying to share the joy with me, so I answered the call.

There she was, sprawled in her office chair, her face beaming with happiness, so much that the screen could hardly contain it. I teased, "Can't hide that springtime radiance, blushing all over the screen."

"Mrs. Collins, always the wordsmith," Fanny gave a thumbs up.

Cutting the small talk, I thought about her drawn-out romance with Yates and couldn't resist teasing, "Dr. Willis, you really have a way of stringing someone along."
