“Hello, it’s me. How is your injury?” A baritone voice could be heard through the call.
“It’s alright.”
“There are some problems at the base that require your attention. Will you be able to handle them?”
After a moment’s hesitation, Pierre replied, “No problem.”
Meanwhile, Selena heard him talking on the phone when she arrived at the door. Although she only heard his last sentence, she could determine that he sounded different from his usual self, as his tone was less haughty. He didn’t sound like he was talking to his subordinate, as he wouldn’t need to say those words to them.
As soon as she entered the room, he hung up the call. “Do you have something that you need to do?” She tried to appear casual while she posed the question.
“Yeah. I will need to go on a business trip.” He didn’t hide the fact that he might be away for some time from her. In fact, if it wasn’t for his injury, he might have been gone since some time ago.
“But you aren’t fully healed yet.” There was a seriousness about her when she stared at him. “You were bleeding just this morning. What is it that requires your immediate attention? You should take a few more days off.”
“I’ve already been hospitalized for a week.” He made sure to put emphasis on the time period. For someone who was managing both Fowler Corporation and Empire Group, the documents piled up over the week could easily amount to double his height. Although he had also been working on the more urgent tasks while he was hospitalized, those that weren’t as urgent were all piled up, and would continue to increase exponentially.
