The documents regarding Janice's files he brought home yesterday kept Jorrod up working until the early hours of the morning.
The next day, despite feeling perfectly fine, he received a merciless scolding from Dr. Jacqueline Shaw, who had unexpectedly found out about his late night and accused him of completely neglecting his health.
Under Jacqueline's strict orders, he was forced to return home at noon to rest, without a second of delay.
Arriving home at midday, Jorrod instinctively took a shower first.
As he walked downstairs, Stella and Wesley were whispering furiously with their heads huddled together.
Hearing his steady footsteps on the staircase, the two exchanged a quick glance and immediately stood at attention.
It wasn't until the tall figure wrapped in the black bathrobe approached that Wesley lowered his head apologetically. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Vaughn. I was just rushing downstairs earlier."
He was taking the blame for throwing the bathrobe directly into Jorrod's face.
Jorrod didn't care. He gave a simple "Mm," considering the matter resolved.
He casually slipped his hands into his pockets and pulled out a phone.
Seeing the white edges of the device, he paused in slight confusion.
He furrowed his brows. "Whose phone is this?"
Wesley recognized it immediately. "Oh, that's your old phone, sir."
Stella's ears perked up the second she heard the word 'phone,' and she quickly craned her neck to get a look.
White edges, clear case.
Stella's eyes lit up. "No, no, that's Ms. Quinn's!"
Her sudden burst of excitement and raised voice made Jorrod look up, giving her a long, lingering stare.
Stella took a step forward, holding out both hands. "Please give it to me, Mr. Vaughn. I'll put it away and return it to her later."
Jorrod had no intention of confiscating Sienna's belongings. He casually moved to drop the phone into Stella's waiting palms, but the slight movement caused the screen to light up.
He instinctively glanced down.
