“Mr. Cloude is looking for Recoe. Which room is he in?”


    The nurse watched Ricardo with confusion and asked, “May I ask, are you a family member of


    Reece’s, or a colleague?”


    “Mr. Cloude is visiting Reece on behalf of thepany. Just lead the way.”


    The impatience of the bodyguard apanying Ricardo was palpable. The nurse, not wanting to incur


    Ricardo’s wrath, could only lead the way.


    By this time. Sophie had already arrived at Reece’s hospital room.


    Given Reece’s unique profession, the room was private, safeguarded for confidentiality. Hospitals were


    never entirely secure. Company personnel would take Reece home for recovery the following day.

    Reecey in the hospital bed, hisplexion slightly pale, d in hospital attire, his head wrapped in


    bandages, evidently having sustained serious injuries.


    Upon seeing Sophie, Reece instinctively tried to get up


    “Stay down. Don’t move.”


    a sit up.


    Hearing Sophie’s words, Reece stopped trying to sit


    Sophie sat down beside him, tuming to the hospital director. “Didn’t you say that his injuries weren’t


    severe?”


    The director hesitated, unable to speak.


    Reece smiled faintly. “I asked the director to tell you that. The life of a trainee is already hard. I didn’t


    want you to worry ande to the hospital.”


    “Thanks to you, I’m here at the hospital now.”


    Tricia walked into the room, saying, “Ms. Sophie,


    e, since you


    you’re here, why not work from here? There are so many documents from the


    past few days, waiting for your signature.”


    “Alright”


    Sophie sat down on a sofa, and Tricia arranged the documents beside her.


    Sophie said, “Prepare some fruit for Reece to replenish his nutrients.”


    Reece shook his head in resignation. “Does it look like I’mcking in fruit here?”


    In just a day, his hospital room was nearly overflowing with baskets of fruit and flowers.


    Sophie nced around and nodded. “Right, no need.”


    Tricia asked, “Should I wash an apple then?”


    Sophie, without looking up, said, “Go ahead.”


    “It’s supposed to be a visit to see me, but it has turned into a workce.”


    Sophie responded, “You’re my golden goose. I’m counting on you to make money for me. You can’t just


    fall ill. To ensure your health, of course, I had to visit night away”


    Outside, the nurse led Ricardo to the hospital room door, saying, “Mr. Cloude, this is the room.”


    Through the ss of the hospital room, Ricardo saw Sophie’s figure. She was sitting on the sofa,


    tucking her hair behind one ear, deeply engrossed in the documents she was handling.


    Ricardo couldn’t help but take a second look. What was so special about this woman that had James


    and Colby fighting over her?


    Tricia returned with the washed apple and caught sight of Ricardo. She instinctively hid in a corner.


    She had been working as Sophie’s secretary, a fact known by many. However, Sophie had ostensibly


    left S Corporation, and no longer held any position at Russell Entertainment


    If Ricardo found out she was still with Sophie, he would definitely suspect the rtionship between


    Sophie and S Corporation.
