    Alex stood up and held up the folder in his hand. “Joan has a few things to review regarding the design

    Paige wanted to decline but could only relent because it was a work issue. “Mr. Jordan, 111 leave


    Carol’s soup here. Please feed her when she wakes up.”


    Paige walked out of the room, followed by Alex.
