"Then why did you sneak around on dates with him?" Ah, the jealousy finally reared its head.
Ferris truly had cared about that the whole time; he had just been hiding it perfectly.
I carefully explained it to him. "Because I genuinely viewed him as a friend. He said he just wanted closure and asked me to go to a concert with him one last time. I only agreed to that. I had no idea he was planning to kidnap me."
"Then promise me you'll never go to a concert with anyone else ever again. You can only go with me." This man was unbelievable, actually demanding I make a promise like that.
I silently laughed at his childishness, but I agreed anyway. "Alright, from now on, I will only attend concerts with Mr. Sterling."
Only then did Ferris finally let it go. He dropped me off at work before obediently returning to his hospital room to rest.
But he still wouldn't entirely follow instructions, constantly sneaking over to bring me food and drawing the attention of everyone in my department.
Amber even whispered to me, "Everyone's saying Director Sterling is like a totally different person. He used to be so unapproachable, but now he's practically following you around like a lost puppy! You guys are too sweet. You even have shippers in the hospital! I thought I was the president of your fan club, but that nurse from the lab claimed she was the first one."
"The lab?" I was caught completely off guard.
I remembered that nurse. Back when Amber was running that poll, she was the one who stubbornly demanded that Ferris be added as an option.
"Yeah! She said she knew about you and Director Sterling ages ago! When you got your medical checkup, he was the one who picked up your results. He even privately contacted her and told her to add his name to my poll. She claims she knew first, so she's the ultimate fan, and insists I'm only second best," Amber muttered, crossing her arms.
I couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, don't be mad. Let her be the top fan. How about I ask you to be my bridesmaid when I get married?"
This girl was exactly like a kid.

Story is fine but...Oh god! Such a slow and dragging story. She is always fainting or confused. Has no backbone, very irritating story. Better to avoid...
