“Pass it to me, Nancy. I’ll forward it to my brotherter.”


    After relinquishing the work to Humphrey, Nancypsed into a pensive quietude.


    “Nancy, are you all right?” Noticing Nancy’s disconcerted demeanor, Humphrey waved a hand before


    her eyes.


    Nancy snapped back to reality and replied, “Yes, send it to your brother. I need to return to the


    company now.

    Within the design quarters of the Thomas Group, the team reconvened after their lunch break.


    A voice carried rumors.


    “Did you catch wind of Mr. Thomas’ new assistant? He goes by Trenton Torres.”


    “In the elevator, I spotted Trenton by Mr. Thomas’ side, and Derek was conspicuously absent.”


    “Really? What about Derek? Where did he vanish to?”


    “I’m not certain. But I managed a peek, and I must admit, Trenton is rather easy on the eyes.”


    At the mention of Derek, Millie, who had been about to indulge in a dessert procured from the shop,


    suddenly found her appetite wane.


    Earlier that morning, she had witnessed Derek being wheeled out of the operating theater. Amidst the


    ceaseless beeping of machines, Dereky motionless on the gurney, bereft of vitality. Millie turned her

    In this moment, a message pinged on Millie’s device, drawing her attention.


    “Miss Brown, kindly make your way to Mr. Thomas’ office. I’m Trenton, Mr. Thomas’ assistant.”


    Perplexed, Millie stood and exited the design department.


    Standing before Marcus’ office door, Millie knocked, only to be met with silence.


    Without further ado, she gently pushed the door open.


    Trenton was on the brink of opening the door himself, his expression warm.


    “Miss Brown, you’re right on time. Wonderful.”


    “Is there anything I can assist with?” As her words reached their conclusion, a cough sounded, though


    not from Trenton.


    “Here’s the situation. Mr. Thomas is running a fever with a temperature of 103.1 degrees.”

    A frown etched its way onto Millie’s features. That was quite a high fever. Likely a consequence of


    getting caught in the rain.


    Unintentionally, Millie’s fists clenched.


    “Where is he?”
