Serenity said, “Alright. We’ll follow the doctor’s advice and keep him in the hospital for a few days until he’s well enough to be discharged. His work… His salary p>
With Zachary in the hospital, Serenity hoped he could rest for a few days.
His boss owned the company; it wasn’t Zachary’s business, so why should he give his all while he was unwell?
The manager interjected, “Don’t worry, Ms. Hunt. We’ll take care of Mr. York’s responsibilities. We promise not to disturb him about work while he’s in the hospital. Mr. York is currently on a business trip, so his salary won’t be affected p>
York Corporation belonged to Mr. York, yet the CEO’s wife was concerned about his salary. She worried it might be cut due to his hospital stay.
“Thank you p>
Serenity replied gratefully, believing she had secured Zachary a few days of paid leave.
“Ms. Hunt, do you need us to stay here to look after Mr. York p>
Serenity asked, “How many bags of IV fluid does he need p>
“Just one more bag, and he’ll be finished p>
“I’ll stay with him. I came here to take care of him anyway p>
The manager responded appreciatively, “Thank you for coming all this way to care for Mr. York. It makes things much easier for us p>
They had initially planned to assign their secretary to look after Zachary, but
Zachary had reservations about young women being close to him. In the end, they abandoned the idea of sending the secretary.
the CEO’s wife, as Mr. Bucham stated. Another advantage was that they didn’t have to deal with Mr. York, who had a strong dislike for the hospital, all day, every day.
“Here are a few desserts Mr. York got for you, Ms. Hunt. We also have fresh fruit and milk. I’ll compensate you for your time spent here caring for Mr. York. Please come to my office once Mr. York is discharged from the hospital,” said the manager.
Serenity accepted the manager’s offer without hesitation. To her, it made sense; her partner had been on a business trip for the company over the weekend and ended up in the hospital due to a severe cold. She felt no guilt about being paid to care for Zachary.
“Ms. Hunt, we need to leave. Call us if you need anything,” the manager said before departing with the deputy manager.
Once they were outside the ward, the deputy manager remarked to his boss, “Mr. Tank, is Mr. York pretending to be asleep p>
“Pretending?” Mr. Tank replied, confused. “I thought he was actually asleep p>
“Mr. York can pretend all he wants. Mr. Bucham said we can leave Mr. York in the care of the CEO’s wife when she arrives. She’ll handle everything, so we’re in the clear once she gets here p>
“Though, I haven’t heard anything from headquarters about Mr. York being married,” the deputy manager added as they walked away.
Mr. Tank turned his head to respond, “Whatever Mr. Bucham says must be correct. We’re quite a distance from Wiltspoon, a two-hour flight, so it’s understandable that we’re unaware of Mr. York’s marital status. From what I’ve seen, it seems the missus is unaware of Mr. York’s true standing in the company p>
She had even mentioned Mr. York’s salary.
“Mr. York instructed me to purchase some fruits and desserts p>
When he learned that Ms. Hunt was on her way over, I could tell from Mr. York’s gestures that he has a good rapport with her.” The deputy manager remarked, “You have a sharp eye, Mr. Tank.” Serenity was unaware of the discussion between the managers. She gazed at Zachary, who was lying in bed, occasionally checking his forehead. With each touch, her frown grew deeper. Zachary’s temperature remained elevated. After checking his temperature again, Serenity took a seat in a chair beside the bed. She pulled out her phone to text her sister and others, letting them know she was at the hospital with Zachary. She updated her sister on his condition before sending a message to Jasmine.
