When Mason saw Felicia, his eyes widened. "Evelynn, what brings you to the office today? Are you feeling better?"
In just a short time away, she had visibly lost weight. The fierce, commanding aura she usually carried was gone, leaving her looking exactly like someone recovering from a severe illness.
Felicia offered a gentle smile. "I'm fine. Could you ask Leo if Jeremy is in today?"
"I saw him this morning," Mason replied. "He should be in his office right now."
"Tell Leo I need to see him when he has a moment," she requested.
"Will do."
Felicia returned to her own office first. It had been empty during her absence but kept meticulously clean. Shortly after, Mason came back with an update. "Mr. Milman is tied up at the moment, but he said you can head up in ten minutes."
"Alright."
She asked him about his recent workload. Mason had been swamped handling the final stages of the projects she had handed over, working nonstop every single day.
Felicia nodded approvingly. "I know it’s been hectic. Once your current project wraps up, I'll approve a full month of paid leave for you."
"Thank you, Evelynn. It's just part of the job," Mason beamed. With a seven-figure salary, the exhaustion was well worth the reward. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you officially coming back to work today?"
"Something like that," she replied. "I just need to discuss a few things with Jeremy first."
"Understood."
"I'll let you get back to it then."
Once Mason left, Felicia's phone rang. It was Jeremy. "Felicia, come on up to my office."
