‘Isaac... He was originally an employee of the Lanes, so he’s probably following Rachael around just like how he did with me, protecting her by her side. But I was the one who hired Renee, so will Matthew let Renee stay and continue with her previous job after I left?’
Just as she was thinking, there were two knocks on the door, Hesper lifted her head and saw Pennleigh’s assistant and Mrs. Potter walking in together.
"I saw him looking for you at your doorstep just now, so I brought him while I came in."
Lionel gave Hesper everything she needed, took a closer look at her legs, and gave off a slightly worried expression. "I didn’t expect your injury to be this serious, Ms. Rivera. And you still planning to work at such times? You’re way too hardworking. Ms. Rivera, you might not know about this, but Mr. Pisano was so worried when he saw the situation in your office that morning that he almost called the police."
Hesper indeed did not know that part of the story, and Pennleigh did not tell her about these things either.
Mrs. Potter complimented Lionel and Hesper’s employer at this moment. "It seems that Ms. Rivera has a very excellent boss who cares so much about the situation of his employees."
"What?!" Lionel was a little dissatisfied and let off a bitter sigh. "It’s obvious that Mr. Pisano likes Ms. Rivera. He already claimed that he’s your fan when we met in Halwanest, didn’t he?!"
Mrs. Potter stood aside attentively. Hesper was astonished for a moment. "No, you’ve misunderstood, Pennleigh and I are just ordinary friends."
Lionel curled his lips and said nothing more. "I have to go back to report to Mr. Pisano now. Please rest well, Ms. Rivera. Don’t always think about work. You’re nowhere near your deadline just yet, if I’m not mistaken."
"Yupe, got it."
