Chapter 1869 Apply For A Leave
Only then did it hit her: it was still work hours.
She quickly completed the order and turned to Yannick with an apologetic look. “I have to head back to the office.”
Yannick gazed at her, his expression full of exaggerated sorrow. “You're really leaving me here alone? The doctor said I need to be observed for at least two or three days. What if there's some hidden internal injury?”
Jocelyn hesitated, guilt flickering across her face. “I'll come by right after work—I promise.”
“But who's going to take care of me?” Yannick asked, his voice deliberately pitiful.
Jocelyn thought for a moment, then said gently, “Don't worry. I'll take a couple of days off later and stay with you.”
Yannick looked satisfied with her response. Still, he hesitated before asking, “Nicholas won't criticize you for that, will he?”
Jocelyn shook her head. “I don't think so. I've never taken leave before, and besides, a car accident is not a small issue. I have to take care of you.”
She had already made up her mind to ask for time off. Yannick was her fiancé, the person closest to her, second only to her family.
“Jocelyn, you're the best,” Yannick said earnestly, his tone full of gratitude.
His words made Jocelyn inexplicably flustered. She quickly stood up. “Your food should be delivered soon. I'll head to the office now to request leave—I'll be back later.”
“Okay,” Yannick nodded eagerly. But as soon as Jocelyn left the room, the smile slowly faded from his face.
He looked down at the phone still buzzing in his hand. Unlocking the screen, he read the message from one of his subordinates: This incident might be tied to Nicholas. We've found that the driver has had frequent contact with him in the past.
Nicholas...
Yannick silently repeated the name in his mind.
At first, he had assumed someone from the Reese family was behind the accident.
But to his surprise, it was Nicholas.
What's his problem? As far as I know, there's no bad blood between us. Why would he go out of his way to harm me?
