Riley took the card. "Got it."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Franklin turned to leave.
"Wait." She stopped him. "Is he okay?"
Franklin obviously knew she meant Sebastian. "Aside from being completely swamped, he's fine."
"Tell him to make sure he eats and sleeps, no matter how busy he gets. You're with him; please remind him."
Franklin internally sighed. He didn't have that kind of authority. He had flown back into the country with the Boss just yesterday.
The Boss went to Statenbury, and he went back to his hometown for the holiday. Right after finishing his New Year's dinner, he got the emergency call. He drove through the night to get back, and since then, neither of them had stopped moving. Forget eating and sleeping—they barely had time for a sip of water or a bathroom break.
They were assembling the financial evidence against Victoria, hauling the entire PR department back to the office, strategizing crisis management, and fielding non-stop panic calls from investors, shareholders, and massive clients. Not to mention Lady Eleanor fighting for her life in the ICU...
It was a complete catastrophe.
The market was closed for the holiday, meaning they only had a few days to kill the fire. If they didn't neutralize this before the bell rang next week, the stock would absolutely plummet.
The international markets didn't observe the holiday, and foreign investors were already dumping St. John bonds. The situation was catastrophic.
Time was rapidly slipping away. Every second they wasted, the crisis deepened.
Yet, despite drowning in chaos, the Boss had still prioritized Riley's safety. Before sending him over, Sebastian had explicitly ordered him: Do the job, keep your mouth shut.
Franklin knew that meant he was strictly forbidden from telling her just how apocalyptic things were so she wouldn't panic.

Update please...
Its better when the female lead is strong. Nothing worse then reading a story with a weak main character...
