Chapter 612


    She jerked awake, startled.


    "He snuck out, just to have a peek at the TV show set, without disturbing Rita," Mike added. "Joey


    told me he probably knows that Ian and Rita are his children. He just doesn''t dare admit it. Both kids


    dislike him. Plus, you don''t want him anywhere near them, so he''s been quietly enduring the pain of


    being separated from his own flesh and blood."


    "Also, he''s totally against Rita getting into showbiz," Mike continued. "So, you need toe back as


    soon as possible, to distract him. If he can''t hold himself back and causes a scene on the set, I


    won''t be able to control the situation."


    Violette rubbed at her temples, feeling a headacheing on. Jetg had kept her tossing and


    turning most of the night. Thest thing she wanted now was another flight.


    "I''m not going back today." She took a deep breath. "I have a headache. I''m going to rest at home


    today."


    "Oh... Well, if you''re not feeling well, you should rest," Mike said. "Why didn''t you text me when you


    landed yesterday? You''ve been contacting me less and less. Do you have a problem with me?"


    Violette didn''t want to upset him, so she said, "Cell phones emit radiation, so I''m cutting down on


    screen time. If you need anything, you can contact my bodyguard."


    Mike, "Oh... I''m not stupid, you know. Are you unhappy because Joey and I have be close? Do


    you think I''m bing one of Elijah''s people? You can''t think like that! I always tell you the first


    thing if there''s any news from Elijah''s side. Could Joey have told me about Elijah visiting Rita


    without my efforts and sacrifices?"


    Violette had to admit this made sense.


    "From now on, don’t report on me, just on him. How about that?" Violette said, "I''m so sleepy. I''m


    going back to bed. If it''s not something urgent, just text me. I just managed to fall asleep after


    adjusting to the time difference!"


    "You''re still adjusting to the time difference? I called your bodyguard yesterday, and he said you


    were sleeping. Have you been sleeping for a whole day and night?"


    Violette paused. "Is there a problem with that?"


    "Of course not, if you''re actually resting at home. I''m just worried you''re doing something dangerous


    behind my back... like getting scammed or something. Losing money is a minor issue, but getting


    kidnapped..." Mike voiced his concerns.


    Violette, "Do you really think I''m that stupid? You can''t assume that just because of one mishap, I''ll


    always get into trouble whenever Ie to the B Country!"


    Mike, "Isn''t there a saying that pregnancy makes you stupid?"


    "There''s no scientific proof for that. If women be stupid, it''s not because of pregnancy, but


    because of the strain of getting married, having children, and taking care of a family," Violette shot


    back, word by word.


    Mike, "I apologize. Violette, you rest well. When you''re up, remember toe back home."


    Violette hung up the call. She''d been so tired, but after arguing with Mike, she felt wide awake. No


    matter what, she couldn''t allow herself to stop working or studying.


    She got out of bed and left the bedroom.


    Her bodyguard was in the process of heating up the breakfast he''d bought that morning in the


    microwave. A steaming hot breakfast was ced in front of her two minutester.


    "Boss, when are we going back?"


    Violette, "We''ll see tomorrow. I''m not going out today, so you can take the day off."


    The bodyguard was taken aback. "I''ll call you for lunch then."


    "Alright. If I''m asleep, don''t wake me up."

    "Got it!"


    Violette took her breakfast back to her room. She ced the breakfast on the table, then took out


    the medical records she''d brought back yesterday from her bag.


    A thick stack of records. She wondered what the patient''s condition was.


    In A Country.
