"You mean my mom has a mental problem?"
"Yes, the patient shows signs of a mental problem.
She seems to be trapped in a downward mental health spiral: stubbornness, digging herself a deep hole, and paranoia."
Summer nodded as she listened carefully. Those signs were indeed showing in her mom.
"But you must be easy on her and don’t agitate her anymore. You know, people who are too paranoid sometimes do things they can't even imagine."
"Do you have any psychologist to recommend, doctor?"
Harry and the secretary were waiting with bated breath outside the conference room.
Senior executives of the company, and the president o f another company were sitting at the table.
Something was amiss with the company's president today. Mark usually entered the meeting room with his phone in silent mode, but not today. He strode out of the meeting and answered the phone when his phone rang.
After just talking for a minute or two, he sat down,
motionless. Seemingly, the other side had hung up the phone.
Harry could tell that it must be Summer at the other end just now, because only Summer was daring enough to hang up on Mark.
Mark put his cell phone back into his pants pocket and returned to the meeting, expressionless.
