Chapter 857: Invitation
Hours later, Nina slumped in the chair beside Finn’s bed.
She felt tired, even after having lunch with Jonathan. He had been running all over the place that morning, trying to finish her tasks as quickly as possible so she could come here.
"I’m sorry, Finn," she whispered, putting her bag down and reaching for his hand. "I really am sorry that I can’t stay, or that I can’t take care of you all the time."
Another heavy sigh escaped her as she thought about the days she’d come here late at night. Then, she still had to leave early to go to work. She’d already used up all her leaves, so she couldn’t stay with him. Yet, she still felt guilty, because she couldn’t look after him as much as she wanted.
"And then, I’m sorry for taking work home." She glanced at her bag, where a handful of papers sat beside it. "Tomorrow is the reunion of Penny’s fan club members..."
Nina trailed off, gazing down at him. "Should I not go?"
"But then again, my biggest client will be there, and he plans to introduce me to his girlfriend," she continued, sighing deeply. "If I close another deal, I’d have more time to stay here with you. It’s a good opportunity."
Another big project meant Nina could focus on it, freeing up time from smaller projects.
"Patricia won’t be there for sure," Nina murmured. "I don’t think Penny would invite her, but then again, I’m sure Penny wouldn’t want to be there either. She even called me, ranting about why she didn’t learn anything about cloning."
Thinking about it, she laughed. "Penny never changed. With all that attention on her, anyone in her position would love it. But she really hated it. I thought back then she was just faking it, but I eventually realized she didn’t like the attention at all."
