She even made a special delivery of breakfast that morning.
That made him involuntarily feel a bit surprised, with an added touch of caution and doubt in his heart.
He had heard a bit about Sabrina, a proud and pampered woman at Section Six.
Jacob was a very gentle person. He treated his assistants well in his daily interactions without displaying the eccentric temperament often found in higher-ups.
So, he didn't particularly resist the sudden goodwill from Sabrina and just became a bit more cautious.
“Ms. Gray, thank you for your concern and the breakfast. We have a caregiver here, so if you have other matters to attend to, feel free to go ahead.”
He didn't want to be in anyone's debt, especially to a proud woman like Sabrina.
“Mr. Lester, please, there's no need for such formality. We're all colleagues here, and everyone can see how much you care for us all.”
Sabrina spoke as she poured another glass of water for Jacob.
Jacob smiled subtly. “Thank you.”
As the two were in conversation, Lucas walked in with Ashlyn.
“Mr. Lester, how are you feeling today? Is your head still hurting?”
Upon seeing Jacob trying to get up from the bed, Lucas immediately stopped him. “Don't move around. Your health is important.”
“Mr. Nolan, I just bought breakfast for Mr. Lester. Have you eaten yet? There's an extra portion here.” Sabrina quickly made her presence known to Lucas, cheerfully holding the lunch box up to him. “Would you like to try some?”
A peculiar glint flashed in Jacob's eyes. It turns out that Sabrina's real intention isn't visiting me. She's trying to use me to climb up the ranks!
Lucas rejected Sabrina coldly, “No thanks. I've already eaten with my wife.”
Only after he finished his sentence did Shiela act as if she had just noticed Ashlyn's presence. “Ah, I'm sorry. Ms. Berry, you're here too?”
