Derek's eyes, which were heavy-laden from exhaustion turned sharp again. "Process the documents over there."
Only then did Damian realize that Derek was pointing at a place full of documents that he had already processed. He suddenly felt under pressure. This... It seemed that Boss had been up all night last night. He worked himself into the ground.
Damian didn't dare delay. After all, Boss was working so hard. How could the subordinates be lazy? When Damian was walking out with those documents, he suddenly noticed that there was a piece of scrap paper on the floor. The scrap paper was full of a person's name.
Meredith...
Damian instantly understood Derek's reason for working hard all night. He guessed that something happened again between Boss and Meredith.
...
Derek stayed in the office for a while. Even he, after working hard all night, was a little tired.
At this moment, Violet called him. "Derek, why didn't you come back last night? Didn't you say we were going to the hospital to visit Chloe today?"
Derek had long forgotten about this and frowned. "I was dealing with some work in the company. I'll go over now. See you at the hospital."
Hearing her son's slightly hoarse voice, Violet couldn't help shaking her head and thought that he really needed a reliable woman to take care of him. He didn't even care about his body when he worked. He couldn't do that.
Derek got up and looked at himself in the mirror. Black stubble appeared on his chin and cheeks. There were dark circles under his eyes, which were different from his usual image.
For Meredith?
Derek didn't want to admit it, but he knew that even though he was processing those documents last night, the ungrateful woman was the one who thought by him the most!
Realizing that she had invaded his mind again, Derek heavily flung the towel away.
Damn it, maybe he should really go out to change his mood. At least, he couldn't always be disturbed by Meredith. That woman was not worth his worry.
...
Derek straightened up and soon drove to the hospital. When he reached, Violet was already waiting there impatiently.
"Look at you. Does work so important? You are here to visit Chloe today, but you look so haggard."
"Although haggard, you still look good." Chloe came down the stairs with a smile. She was just bored looking at the scenery outside, but she didn't expect to see Derek's car coming.
Even before she could change her clothes, she came down happily.
She really missed him.
"Sweet girl."
Violet glanced at Chloe. She was wearing a hospital gown and no makeup on her face today, but she was born beautiful. This kind of gown did not damage her beauty. Instead, it gave her a little more delicate temperament. Even if a woman saw Chloe like this, she would quite fond of her.
Violet nodded silently. She was not critical of Chloe's appearance.
