“What did you just say?” Ophelia frowned, giving him a look that screamed ‘Seriously?’

“I just mean, seeing you makes me feel better,” Alaric said, putting on his best innocent face with a shrug.

Ophelia couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him. ‘That’ll teach you to talk nonsense, she thought.

“I really mean it, nothing else,” Alaric explained, giving her a gentle, reassuring smile.

“You really think I’m buying that?” Ophelia shot him a warning glare. “Don’t mess with my work, or you’re not leaving the hospital.”

“Don’t worry,” Alaric replied, tilting his chin up with a cocky grin, trying to reassure her.

Ophelia let out a quiet sigh, opened the car door, and got in.

Alaric arched an eyebrow smugly and hopped into the passenger seat.

Soon enough, the two of them arrived at the company.

“Boss, you didn’t eat yet?” Ella called out, her eyes full of concern as she saw Ophelia step out of the elevator with a breakfast bag.

Right then, Alaric stepped out of the elevator too, just a beat behind.

“Mr. Caldwell!” Ella blurted out, surprised for a second. Then she leaned in with a sly grin and lowered her voice, teasing,”

Boss, bringing your man to work now? You two are totally in the honeymoon stage.”

“Shut up,” Ophelia shot Ella a glare, clearly annoyed. “Don’t you have anything better to

Ella just grinned and said, “Boss, you should grab some breakfast first. Mr. Brown’s about to show up any minute.”

“Okay,” Ophelia nodded and headed toward her office.

Alaric hung back a step and quietly told Ella, “When George Brown gets here, send him straight to the office.”

“Huh?” Ella was still trying to process what he said, but Alaric had already walked off.

Ella stood there for a moment, totally stunned, her eyes going wide in disbelief.

‘So Mr. Caldwell’s only here because of Boss and George Brown?’ Ella thought, her mind racing.

“Whoa, fresh gossip right in my lap,” Ella chuckled to herself, feeling pretty pleased.

She’d been wondering why Mr. Caldwell was even here. Well, now she totally got it!

“Oh wow, Mr. Caldwell is so smitten with Boss. Honestly, I’m jealous,” Ella beamed, practically glowing. ‘At this rate, I bet we’ Il be hearing some major news soon, she thought.

In the office.

Ophelia and Alaric took a seat by the couch.

They’d picked up breakfast on the way, simple and light, but still nutritious enough.

“You should eat more,” Ophelia said, handing one of the breakfast bags to Alaric.

She took the other for herself and started eating, lost in thought as she

“What are you thinking about?” Alaric asked casually.

“Just mapping out how I’ll work with George Brown going forward,” Ophelia replied, not bothering to keep it a secret. ‘May as well tell him now, he’ll find out sooner or later anyway,’ she thought.

Alaric’s face clouded for a second, and he shot her a jealous look. “Wow, you and George are getting pretty cozy, huh?”

“We’re working together, so it’s not like we’re suddenly rivals,” Ophelia shrugged, not bothered at all. “Besides, George Brown seems pretty decent.”

A brief chill flickered in Alaric’s eyes. ‘Not enemies, huh?’ he thought, a trace of doubt crossing his mind.

“Enough about that. Hurry up and eat. I’ve got a meeting soon, so you are staying here. If you get tired, just rest. Don’t push yourself,” Ophelia reminded him, her tone both gentle and firm.

Alaric’s expression softened, a faint smile playing at his lins “Relax I’ll be just fine. I’ll be good and wait right here for you, Ophelia, I promise.”

Ophelia glanced at him, her brow lifting ever so syy. Why do i get the feeling there’s more to what he’s saying?’ she wondered.
