While Sasha did not wish for Janice to bear the burden, she also had no idea how to manage Oceanic Estate without her. Additionally, Sasha could not return yet.
After some thought, she decided to persuade Janice.
Sasha: Aunt Janice, please don’t make rash decisions. You know where I am. If I have to go over there, I have to make sure things are in order first. As such, can’t you help me out for a while longer?
Janice: Urgh, okay. I shall wait till you settle the things on your end then. Actually, I haven’t been there for a few days now either. When I was out looking for Jocelyn, I had a fall.
She fell?
Worried, Sasha immediately asked how she was doing.
Within seconds, Janice replied with a picture. It showed the ugly bruises on her arms and thighs.
It’s so serious!
Sasha felt bad and did not press Janice any further. She could only advise her to rest at home and mentioned that she would contact her when she was done with everything.
Given the situation, Sasha still had to look for someone to replace Janice in Oceanic Estate. Otherwise, no one would be there to manage it over the next few days.
After some thought about it, she decided to call Mark.
Ring!
“What are you up to?”
Before the call got connected, a man suddenly appeared outside her office. He walked stiffly into the room.
Sebby!
Sasha quickly covered the microphone and whispered to Sebastian, “Give me a minute. I’m calling Mark.”
Then, she continued to listen to the rings over the phone. Meanwhile, the visitor had to welcome himself in. Plunging into the couch where her guests usually sat, he crossed his legs and waited.
He had the office for the top management as the person with the most power in Hayes Corporation.
Sebastian rarely visited the company. Since he was the president, he did not need to travel there in person often. If there was anything he needed, he could easily communicate with his employees over the phone.
However, this was not his office, but his wife’s office.
Beyond the walls of the room, a male employee curiously asked his colleagues, “What are you standing around for? Aren’t you looking for Ms. Wand? Why can’t you head in?”
“Oh, Mr. Hayes is inside,” someone replied.
The planning department noticed their boss in the room, and they knew better than to disturb him. Taking the opportunity of being unsupervised, they enjoyed their coffee break.
It was the most relaxing atmosphere in the office they have had.
After two to three minutes of holding the call, no one answered. Frustrated, Sasha slammed the phone down with a frown.
Janice had a fall?
