qGetting to his feet, Danrique straightened his clothes, his movements as elegant as ever. However, the words he then casually uttered carried a beast-like possessiveness.
“I'm going to devour you when you've recovered!”
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly with suppressed desire.
“Buzz off!” Francesca roared furiously.
Pulling the covers over her, Danrique flashed her a faint smile before spinning on his heels and leaving.
Just then, Layla disguised as medical staff, entered the room with Norah to deliver the soup. Danrique glanced at her but said nothing, heading straight for the study room.
Later, Sean went to Danrique to render his report. In the end, he cautiously reminded, “Mr. Lindberg, I can't shake off the feeling that there's something strange about that medical staff.”
In response, Danrique arched a brow. “Oh? What about her?”
“When I went to look for Ms. Felch this morning...”
Sean proceeded to tell the man everything that had happened in the hospital in detail.
After listening to it all, Danrique remarked blithely, “Didn't Kerrie say that nothing happened?”
“Yes, but-”
“Cece asked for her personally, so what if there's something off about her? It doesn't matter as long as Cece is happy.” Danrique's voice was detached.
“But that elderly woman might not be an ordinary person.”
By then, Danrique frowned, a touch impatient. “So what? Why am I employing the lot of you? Is it not to resolve problems? What use are you if you can't even handle an elderly woman?”
“Understood.” Sean hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to speak further.
He knew full well that Layla and the unfortunate ex-boyfriend were probably in cahoots with Francesca.
Initially, he wanted to caution Danrique, but he ended up being lectured by the man instead.
