Chapter 149 Joe's Approval

When Joe got there and saw Allison sitting up, he rushed over to help her out. "Your shoulder blade's busted. Don't move too much!" Allison leaned back against the pillow with a smile. "I've been lying down forever; I'm all stiff."

Joe nodded and gave her leg a little massage. "Yeah, your legs are pretty stiff. I'll have Alexander give you a proper massage later."

Just then, the door to the ward opened, and Alexander walked in, looking a bit rough.

Seeing him in a suit, Allison frowned. "You're still recovering, and you're already back at work?"

Alexander smiled and stood behind Joe. "Had some stuff to take care of, but it's all good now. Griffin's handling things at the company, so I can take a break."

A CEO taking a break? Meanwhile, Griffin was in the president's office, staring at a mountain of paperwork, feeling the urge to punch Alexander.

"When's Alexander coming back?" Griffin asked.

He'd only been there an hour, but he was already desperate to leave.

James, standing by, smirked. "Mr. Carter, there are four more meetings today and a ton of documents to sign."

Griffin sighed. 'Why did I agree to this? I'm supposed to be retired, not stuck here doing grunt work. Jessa just got back, and I should be with her, not buried in paperwork.'

"Leave the important stuff for Alexander," Griffin ordered, sounding a bit desperate. "I can't handle everything. I have a world tour planned with my wife next week!" Seeing James nod with a smile, Griffin pulled himself together, slipping back into his CEO role.

Before Alexander took over, Griffin ran the Carter Group. He might not have been as successful as Alexander, but he knew the company inside out, making it easier for him to step in when needed.
