He strode over with a grim expression and said to Grayson and Zayne, "Get out, both of you."
Grayson dragged Zayne with him and rushed out of the office.
Jay looked down at Angeline from above and questioned her, "You went to the hospital last night?"
Now that she knew what it would cost her for lying to him, Angeline dared not lie to him this time and nodded. "Mm."
The air of hostility lingering in Jay's pupils diminished and was now replaced by concern.
"What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said that I'm okay and that I just need to take my medicine on time." Angeline tried her best to sound as calm as possible.
Jay ordered sternly, "Stop taking the medicine. You don't need medicine with such harmful side effects!"
Angelinas eyes turned moist. "But I'll lose my vision if I don't take my medicine. Grand Asia needs me right now..."
Jay roared angrily. "Grand Asia is nothing compared t o your health."
Realizing that he might have scared her, he then softened his tone and continued, "As long as you're okay, Angeline, that's all that matters."
Angeline nodded with a smile. "Mm."
Jay pulled her into his arms, his furious interrogation turning into a gentle whisper. "Why didn't you tell me the truth last night?"
Angeline stroked his chin and said, "It’s crucial for Grand Asia to keep the executives’ illnesses a secret. I thought you were Madam Ares' spy last night, and that made me afraid to tell you the truth."
Jay frowned and said bitterly, "Is Grand Asia more important than me?"
"You're both equally important."
