"Yeah."
"She bought it online," William said, his tone revealing a hint of indulgence.
Isaac shivered. "I’ve got to bounce."
It's just a thermos; he can probably find the same one just about anywhere on the street.
Isaac left and went downstairs.
Nathan, who had been waiting for quite some time, asked, "Mr. Salter, where are we heading to now?"
"Take me home."
As he got into the car, "home" referred to the apartment he shared with Brittany.
"Alright."
William was hospitalized, and all the work of the design department fell on Frank. Brittany keenly noticed Frank's subtle hostility toward her.
"Brittany, this design draft won't cut it. Change the style," Frank said with a displeased expression. "Also, I want to see a new design draft tomorrow morning. If you can't make it, you're out!"
Frank didn't understand why and how Brittany had offended Sydney. Even though Frank valued Brittany's talent, he didn't dare offend Sydney.
She was the cousin of the company's big boss; who would dare disobey her?
Brittany knew that Sydney must have had a hand in this; she took all the design drafts and said, "Got it."
Sydney, shining like a star at the center of attention, was enjoying everyone's flattery.
"Sydney, you're always taking care of William. When are you two going to make it official?"
"His mom really likes me."
Instead of answering the question, Sydney suddenly turned to Brittany and said, "Brittany, William is going to be discharged soon. You don't need to bring him soup anymore."
"What, Brittany has been secretly bringing William soup?"
"Brittany, you know that Sydney and William have feelings for each other. Doing such a thing is just downright drama queen behavior."
Their colleagues immediately accused her, and Brittany, hearing these accusations, found them quite ironic.
Sydney was still good at deflecting blame, as always!
She immediately stood up and said to Sydney, "Well, I wish you two all the best."
She meant it. She hoped that William would be happy, and who that happiness was with didn't really matter.
