Rachel poured him a glass of water and placed it next to his bed. Then, with well-practiced movements, she took out some papers from the cabinet and set them aside. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving then. Frankie will be here later with some new food for you.”
“Why are you in such a rush? Have you been busy at work recently?”
“Yes, it’s been very busy. I’ve been keeping tabs on this one project.”
“In that case, leave it to others.” Justin’s tone brooked no argument. “You only have one task, and that is to take care of me.”

Guess what Mr. Burton said to him?” “Of course President Burton chewed him out. There’s a chance he might’ve even fired Mr. Enfield on the spot.” “No, President Burton said to be more careful next time.” The secretary’s eyes widened. “For real?” “Why would I lie to you about this?” “Did he get a personality swap? Has the hospital been spiking his food or something?” “What’s with that nonsense?” Frankie tapped the secretary’s head, but then he thought about it. “Still, you’re right. There’s
