Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 51

He stared at the photo for a long time. Sensing Arthur's nervous gaze, Silas finally locked his screen and slipped the phone into his pocket.

"So, when are we heading back?" Arthur asked, braving the awkward silence.

"Tomorrow."

"Already?" Arthur was stunned. They had been in New York for barely twenty-four hours. They had literally flown across the country to do exactly two things: visit Harbor Mercy Hospital and have Arthur eat dinner with Willow.

"There's a lot of business to attend to at the firm," Silas replied smoothly, not looking up.

Oh, so you do remember we run a company, Arthur thought to himself.

It was the end of the fiscal year—the busiest season for Merit Biotech. There were endless strategy meetings and high-stakes negotiations scheduled at headquarters. When Silas had first suggested the spontaneous trip to New York, Arthur had strongly advised against it.

But Silas was the boss, so Arthur had packed his bags. He assumed that since they were already in the city, they would at least meet with their East Coast partners. But no, the billionaire wanted to fly right back?

When Arthur didn't immediately respond, Silas's patience vanished. "Is there a problem? Do you have an objection?"

Arthur snapped back to reality. "No! No objections at all. I'll arrange the flight immediately."
