East, Ethan, and Brent had all heard about Scarlett’s ident and came to visit her. They were chatting andughing when

the door suddenly swung open, and they all turned around, stunned.

Hugo stood at the entrance.

He recognized these people as Scarlett’s colleagues…

A hint of awkwardness lingered in the air.

Ethan leaned over and whispered to the person next to him, “Ms. Adler, is there really that much bad blood between you

two?”

Scarlett just gave Hugo a nce, showing no warmth in her expression.

Brent, quick on his feet, immediately chimed in with a cheerful tone, “Mr. Hodges, are you here to visit Ms. Adler too?”

Hugo, with his thick skin, managed to act as if nothing was amiss despite the awkwardness. He nodded slightly, “Yeah.”

“Heh… us too,” Brent replied with an awkwardugh.

“You guys go ahead,” Hugo gestured with his hand, then casually walked over to the sofa and sat down.

Uh…

Do we have to line iup /ifor a visit?

Firste, first served?

Brent, trying to be amodating, looked at Hugo sitting nearby. “How about you go first, Mr. Hodges?”

Hugozily nced up at him, disying a gentlemanly demeanor. “No need, I’ve got plenty of time. You go ahead.”

Uh…

But Brent didn’t dare ask, maintaining an awkward smile on his face.

At that moment, Ethan leaned over to Scarlett and whispered, “Ms. Adler, are you sure he won’t do anything to you once

we leave?”

Even though he whispered, Hugo still heard it.

Raising an eyebrow slightly, he pretended not to hear and pulled out his phone to handle some business.

Scarlett nced at Ethan. “Maybe you should stay?”

“I’m worried he might do something to me instead…”

Getting involved in the affairs of the wealthy was risky business for outsiders like them.

Scarlett shot him a nce and continued the conversation, “Why did you guys suddenly show up?”

“What do you mean ‘suddenly‘? You haven’t been to the office for two days. We had to check on you! I asked Fourth, and

that’s how I found out something big happened to you!” Ethan replied.

“You really should have told us about such a big thing.”

“It’s just a minor injury, nothing worth mentioning,” Scarlett shrugged it off.

“Ms. Adler, you’re ady after all. Can you be a bit more delicate? You’re making us guys look bad.”

“Delicate?” Scarlett raised an eyebrow. “How?”

“Be gentler, use more cute words when you talk, like saying ‘eat–eat‘ or ‘sleep–sleep‘…”

“How about ‘shut–shut‘?”

Ethan was speechless.

Nearby, Hugo was busy with work but couldn’t help letting out a chuckle at Scarlett’s words.

Only Scarlett coulde up with something so straightforward, even more so than the most straightforward person.

She had the face of an angel but a personality that was anything but.

At that moment, Hugo found it surprisingly endearing.

But when he smiled, all eyes turned back to him.

Hugo kept his head down, pretending to be engrossed in his phone, as if his smile had nothing to do with them.

The others returned their gazes elsewhere.

Ethan looked at Scarlett. “Forget what I just said.”

Brent chimed in, “You’re lucky she didn’t tell you to get lost!”

“I almost did,” Scarlett replied, ncing at him.

Brent shrugged, “See?”

“My bad!” Ethan admitted.

Then East spoke up, looking at Scarlett with a soft tone, “Just because someone doesn’t cry out in pain doesn’t mean

they don’t feel it. They just know no one will careb, /bso why bother?”

His words brought a sudden silence over the group.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Even Hugo furrowed his brow at the statement.

“Dude, that was deep,” Ethan remarked.

“Did you have to hit us right in the feels?” Brent asked.

East Hayes gave a bittersweet smile and looked at Scarlett. “Bossb, /bno matter what happens in the future, you can count

on me. You and North are the most important people in my life.”

Hugo sat nearby, his frown deepening.

Scarlett nced at him, her beautiful face showing a hint of hesitation before she bluntly said, “You’re raising the stakes

too high!”

“I’m serious!” East replied earnestly.

Scarlett nodded dismissively, “Alright, alright, I get it.”

Seeing this, Ethan and Brent quickly chimed in to show their loyalty.

“Ms. Adler, I’m with you too. You’re the most important person to me.”

“Ms. Adler, look at me. I’d go to any lengths for you!”

“Get lost!”

Ethan looked taken aback, “…”

Brent was equally surprised, “…”

Well, alright then.

There’s just a difference between people in this world!

As the banter continued, Hugo felt increasingly like the odd one out.

At that moment, he cleared his throat, pretending to cough, and everyone finally snapped back to reality.

They exchanged nces.

Finally, East looked at Scarlett and spoke up, “Well, boss, it’s gettingte. If there’s nothing else, we’ll head out… We hope

you recover soon, and we’ll be waiting for you at the office.”

“Leaving so soon?” Brent asked, feeling like they hadn’t chatted enough yet.

Ethan nudged him, trying to signal that he should read the room. Couldn’t he see that Mr. Hodges was subtly asking them

to leave?

Brent, realizing a bitte, nced at Hugo and then quickly gave a sheepish smile to Scarlett, “Right, right, it’s gettingte. We’ll head out now. There’s a line waiting behind us!“”

Everyone else just sighed.

Seeing Scarlett start to pull back the covers to get out of bed, Brent quickly said, “Ms. Adler, ino /ineed to see us off. You’re

still recovering. We can find our own way out.”

Scarlett looked at him, enunciating each word, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

Oh…

Brent chuckled awkwardly, “Well, okay then, we’ll be on our way.”

After saying that, they turned to Hugo. “Mr. Hodges, we’ll be heading out now.”

Hugo stood up casually, raising an eyebrow at their words. “Leaving so soon?”

Do you really not feel guilty saying that?

If it weren’t for you, would we be leaving so quickly?

Though they dared to argue in their minds, their faces remained stered with a sycophantic smile. “Yeah, yeah, it’s

already dark, and it’s gettingte. We’ll be on our way.”

Hugo nodded. “Take care.”

“No need, no need.”

With that, the three of them hurriedly made their way outside.

Scarlett, who imed she was heading ito /ithe restroom, still escorted them to the hospital room door.

Brent felt touched again and said, “Ms. Adler has a tough exterior but a soft heart. She says she’s going to the restroom,

but she still bravely sees us off.”

“Ms. Adler, get well soon! Thepany is so dull without you!”

Scarlett rubbed her forehead and said to Ethan, “Knock him out and take him away. He’s itoo /inoisy!”

“Got it.” With that, Ethan lunged at Brent.

In the hallway, there was a bit of yful banter.
