Julie picked up the phone. As soon as she answered, the voice of Daphne came through, "Julie, I feel like I'm falling apart..."
"What's wrong?" Julie immediately suppressed her own emotions, sounding worried as she asked Daphne on the other end of the line.
Daphne quickly responded, "I felt unwell on my way back to the company, and I was just diagnosed with acute appendicitis. I'm about to have surgery..."
Julie frowned, "Which hospital are you in?"
"You don't need to come, but sweetheart, you've got to do me a favor," Daphne weakly asked Julie, "Do you know about Ray Group?"
"Had heard of it. What's up?"
"The new CEO of Ray Group just took office, and with Raymon Sanches turning seventy, the chief editor wants me to take a few reporters over to cover this news. I didn't expect to suddenly get appendicitis. The two reporters I arranged are from different departments so there'll be issues for sure. Could you go over and supervise for me? The chief editor said if we write this piece of news well, there will be a fifty-thousand bonus. I'll give you sixty percent of it and you just need to supervise for me." Daphne gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and finished her request.
Even without the bonus, in this situation, Julie couldn't turn a blind eye. She agreed straight away.
In fact, Julie wanted to thank Daphne. It was because of Daphne's situation that she could forget about the encounter with Kieran.
