~At the Hospital~
Donald and Lady Matilda Santiago both sighed in relief when Jessica agreed to take on the case—though it would be on her own terms, they are grateful for the opportunity.
Hearing her speak so calmly and with such confidence even when their name was mentioned, they were quietly impressed. She wasn’t someone that could be easily intimidate, and that surprised them.
"She’s very serious," Lady Matilda whispered to her son as they walked out of the office.
Donald nodded, then turned back to the dean. "Can we get a copy of her schedule once she sets it up? We don’t want the appointments to be too close together, but not too far apart either."
The dean nodded quickly. He understood their concern—and more importantly, he understood who they were. The Santiagos were not people to argue with. If this request made things go more smoothly, he was more than willing to comply.
"I’ll inform you once she finalizes her schedule," the dean assured.
After a few more minutes of discussion, the Santiagos thanked him and left the hospital, their guards following behind.
The dean slumped back into his chair the moment they were gone, he rubbed his forehead. He was already exhausted by this arrangement—and it hadn’t even started yet.
