Unexpected Encounter with my Boss

Chapter 6

"Hello, Tiffany, are you feeling any better?" Kelly asked with concern as soon as the call connected.

Tiffany replied, "Yes, much better."

"Are you still running a fever? Did you have lunch? Are you hungry? Should I get you some takeout? Or if there's anything you'd like, I can bring it over."

Tiffany was puzzled by Kelly's over-the-top behavior. After all, they weren't close. Still, she couldn't be ungrateful for someone's good intentions.

"The fever's gone now. I already ate lunch, so I'm not hungry. If I get hungry later, I'll order something. Thanks for your concern, Kelly."

"Oh..." Kelly paused briefly. "Is... Mr. Lewis still there with you?"

"He left."

"Oh, I see. Did he go there to see you?"

"No." Tiffany didn't mention that Anna was in the hospital too. After all, Vincent was her boss, and she didn't want to say anything improper that could affect her job. Perplexed, Kelly asked, "Then, why did Mr. Lewis go to the hospital?"

"It seems like... he came to see a friend," Tiffany replied vaguely.

"Mr. Lewis has a friend in the hospital?" Kelly's questions seemed endless.

Tiffany pursed her lips. "I'm not really sure of the details."

"Oh." Kelly sounded disappointed, but then she added, "I'm free tonight. Is there anything you'd like? I can bring it over for you."

"That's not necessary. I won't be at the hospital tonight." Tiffany found Kelly's overly helpful behavior strange, so she politely declined the offer.

"Okay, then. You rest up. Don't worry about work; I'll handle things for you."

"Thank you, Kelly."

"You're welcome. We're colleagues, after all. Get some rest. I won't bother you anymore."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Kelly leaned back in her chair, frowning in thought.
