"Where can we find Michael?" Edgar asked.


    The nurse looked at him wonderingly. "Are you a family member or a colleague of


    Michael?"


    Edgar''s bodyguard, growing impatient, interjected, "Our boss is here to visit Michael on behalf of thepany. Just lead the way."


    The nurse, fearing Edgar''s displeasure, quicklyplied and led them towards. Michael''s room.


    Meanwhile, Debra had already arrived at Michael''s room. Due to Michael''s special profession, the room was guarded. Even so, the hospital was never entirely secure, and it had been decided that Michael would be taken home by the following day for his recovery.


    Michaely in bed, his face pale, and his body d in a hospital gown. His head was wrapped in bandages, a testament to the severity of his injuries.


    When he saw Debra, he instinctively tried to sit up.


    "Don''t move," Debra said.


    Michaelplied, sinking back into the bed.


    Debra took a seat nearby and turned to the director. "Didn''t you say it was not serious?"


    "Well..." the director faltered.


    Michael offered a weak smile, saying, "I had him tell you that. The life of a trainee is tough, and I didn''t want to worry you."


    Debra raised an eyebrow. "Thanks to you, I''m here now."


    Ben entered the room, his armsden with documents. "Madam, since you''re here, you might as well work from here. Many documents are waiting for your signature." "Okay." Debra nodded, settling onto a nearby sofa as Ben ced the documents aside.


    She instructed Ben, "Go get some fruit for Michael to help with his nutrition."


    Michael shook his head helplessly. "Do you think I''m missing fruit?"


    The room was already filled with fruit and flower baskets.


    Debra nced around and said thoughtfully, "You''re right."


    Ben asked, "Should I wash an apple then?"


    Without looking up from the documents, Debra replied, "Go ahead."


    Michael teased her, "You said you came to visit me, but it seems like you''re just working in a different ce."


    Debra responded, "You''re my gem, and I''m waiting for you to make money for me. You can''t fall, and I''vee to ensure that.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Just then, the nurse led Edgar to the door. "Mr. Odom, this is the room."


    Edgar peered through the ss, his gazending on Debra. She sat on the sofa, her hair tucked behind her ear. Her focus was entirely on the documents in her hands.


    He found himself lingering, his curiosity piqued. ''What is it about this woman that makes Juan and Marion fight over her?"


    Ben, returning with the apple, noticed Edgar outside the door and instinctively stepped into a corner.


    He worked as Debra''s secretary, a fact well known within certain circles. However, Debra had officially left the McKinney Group, and with the Frazier Group''s bankruptcy and Frazier Entertainment being merged into the McKinney Group, Debra no longer held any position. If Edgar discovered he was still working with Debra, it might raise questions about the connection between Debra and the McKinney Group.


    Thinking quickly, he texted Debra.


    [Edgar is outside the door.]


    She saw the message and nned to hide the documents when a knock sounded at the door.
