Alexa was a tough cookie, but now she was forced to kneel down to her, which must be killing her inside.
In a bit, a nurse walked into the room to change the medication. She was surprised to see Alexa and her assistant by the bedside.
"Alexa, you and your assistant can hit the road." Mike tossed out all the gifts they brought.
Once Alexa and her assistant left, tranquility returned to the room.
After the nurse finished changing the medication and left, Mike waved his phone in front of Violette.
"I just spoke to Joey, he said those two bodyguards were put out of action this morning." Mike said with a charming smile, "I don't like Elijah, but he did a good job on this one."
Violette, "What do you mean?"
Mike covered his mouth with his hand, "Joey doesn't want me to tell you. He's afraid it'll scare you."
"Do you know why Alexa came to apologize? She must be scared out of her wits!" Mike joked, "You used Elijah to intimidate Alexa earlier, didn't see that coming."
Violette's face reddened slightly, "Didn't he play the hero first? Since he offered himself for me to use, why wouldn't I?"
"Fair point." Mike said, "Just treat him like a toy. Play with him when you're happy, ignore him when you're not."
Violette picked up her phone absentmindedly, checking the time. "I need to rest a bit. Let’s head home when I wake up."
