Three days on, my condition is getting better. This morning the doctor will examine me for the last time. Preston still faithfully accompanies me and almost never leaves me alone, because he doesn't want something like this to happen again. "Mr. Theo's condition has improved, you are allowed to go home." The doctor decided. "But remember, don't do anything heavy first so that the internal wounds can recover quickly too." I listened to the doctor's words carefully, "Yes, doctor. Thank you very much." "Then, I'll help you pack your things, sir." Preston immediately helped me. "Alright, then you'll have to excuse me." The doctor said goodbye and left us. I stood up and put on the office coat that was draped over the chair by the bed. Preston had brought dirty clothes and the laptop I'd brought to the hospital so I could keep working. Preston opens the door for me and then walks almost at my pace. "I'll take care of the paperwork first, you can go straight to the car." I instructed
I invited the woman I met in the parking lot into the room. The woman looked quite polite and didn't sit down before I asked her to sit down. The woman and I sat on the sofa, where guests should sit in my room. "Please sit down," I said, taking a position in front of her. "Thank You." The woman said this and sat down while straightening her clothes so that they weren't wrinkled and too revealing. "Before that, if I may ask, how do you know me?" I asked the first question that opened the conversation tonight. "I know you from Spencer." The woman answered honestly. Of course, I knew all of this had to be related to Spencer. With this statement, of course, I will be more careful when dealing with this woman. I try to maintain my attitude and remain professional. I want to know what this woman's goals and plans are for me. "Oh, okay, then what is your name, if I may?" I was still looking at the woman's face sharply. "My name is Megan." The woman answered without faltering in the sli
Landon took Megan to his car and opened the door for Megan. "Thank you," said Megan, getting into the car.Landon jogged to the driver's seat, readied himself, and then started the engine. The car Megan was riding in was moving fast. Silence enveloped Megan and Landon during the journey to the Hawthorne family residence. Megan didn't bother either and just stared at the window. Megan is more worried about what will happen to her after this.Megan took her cell phone and then called her mother. "Hello, mom," Megan said flatly."Where have you been?" Megan's mother's voice could be heard clearly from behind the phone.Megan moved her ear away from her cell phone and answered, "Megan has business matters, so Megan will be home late." Megan explained with a tired expression."What business matters? Don't make excuses, Megan.""Sorry, mom, Megan has to go." Megan immediately hung up the phone.Megan stared at her cell phone screen while taking a long, heavy breath. Megan put her cell phone
Megan arrived at the hotel basement 20 minutes after walking from where she was dropped off. Megan immediately got into the car and then drove home. The streets were very quiet - of course, it was the middle of the night, and only a few cars could be seen passing Megan.As soon as she arrived in front of the gate, Megan honked her horn, and the house guard immediately ran out, opening the gate. Megan parked in the garage, then gave her car keys to the housekeeper. "Please prepare it tomorrow morning, sir," said Megan."Yes, Miss." Housekeeper Megan nodded while receiving her car keys.Megan walked into the house through the side door and walked straight to her room. However, his steps stopped when he heard a noise coming from the kitchen. Megan gave up her intention and went back down the stairs, then walked towards the kitchen. Megan saw her father, who was busy making drinks.Megan smiled. "What are you making, Dad?"Mr. Collins immediately lifted his chin and was surprised to see M
I was standing in front of the mirror, buttoning the two buttons on my arms. The cell phone, which was still lying on the nightstand beside the bed, rang. I immediately finished buttoning the right side before grabbing it and looking at the caller's name."Mr. Hawthorne," I muttered before picking up the phone. "Hello, Mr. Hawthorne?""Theo, what happened?" Mr. Hawthorne immediately asked in a tense voice. "Why are our two investors releasing their funds from the company? What are you doing?"I knew that this news would quickly reach Mr. Hawthorne, but not so fast either. I haven't prepared an answer at all, and I haven't prepared myself to respond to it. "I'm sorry, Mr. Hawthorne. I'll fix it right away.""I'm going back now, don't do anything. I need to know what's really going on." Mr. Hawthorne made no compromises and said it straight out.I could only sigh and reply, "Okay, Mr. Hawthorne."Mr. Hawthorne immediately turned off the phone. I looked at the screen and put it back on t
I came to the office thirty minutes earlier than work time. I walked towards the elevator and intended to enter my room. However, on the way, a product staff member ran up to me, panting for breath."Mr. Hawthorne," he called, bowing his body."Yes, what is up?" I asked casually, and half my life had not yet been fully collected."We would like to inform you that new products currently in development cannot be finalized." The staff said it clearly in one breath."What's wrong? How come? What's the problem?" All these questions appeared at once in my head."The product's raw materials are destroyed and cannot be repaired." The staff explained with a very guilty expression."How could it be destroyed?" I really wanted to vent my emotions, but I tried to control it and took a deep breath. "Okay, take me to the production room now."One problem has not been resolved, and another has arrived. I couldn't understand what the problem was with me or this company after I took over. I don't want
I got a phone call from Mr. Hawthorne, but when I brought it up, he didn't say anything. "Hello, Mr. Hawthorne?"I waited for a while but couldn't hear anything. There were faint sounds of passing vehicles and car horns. I suspect Mr. Hawthorne was still on his way home. I decided to give my phone to Preston."Preston, Mr. Hawthorne called, but he didn't say anything. Please confirm where Mr. Hawthorne is now.""Yes, sir." Preston took the cell phone I gave him and took care of the rest.Work in the production room is progressing much faster than before. More than half of the total production estimate has been met. Everyone in the room was working very hard and hadn't even had time to rest at all. The wall clock showed ten o'clock in the evening."How many more products need to be completed?" I asked a staff member who had a job doing packing."There are still 30 left, once that's done, Mr." The staff answered confidently while looking at the 170 products that were ready."Okay," I sa
Preston managed to contact Mrs. Hawthorne and Spencer. Hearing this news, the two of them immediately came, accompanied by Landon and Mrs. Hawthorne. I waited in front of Mr. Hawthorne, while Preston decided to wait at the hospital door.It was already 1 in the morning. My eyes, which previously felt sore and sleepy, are now lost in the midst of this chaos. Before long, I could see Mrs. Hawthorne, Spencer, and Preston. I stood up politely and greeted them."Evening, Mrs." I was greeted with a soft voice.Mrs. Hawthorne looked at me with puffy eyes. From there, I knew Mrs. Hawthorne had cried on the way here. Of course, who wouldn't be sad if their family, especially their husband, fell ill like this?"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Hawthorne immediately attacked me with harsh words."Mrs., Mr. Theo was the first to find out about Mr. Hawthorne's condition." Preston tried to answer politely from behind Mrs. Hawthorne."Shut up! I'm talking to this bastard." Mrs. Hawthorne was still ang
