Chapter 216: Part of a married life...
The group returned to the hotel happy, grateful, and fulfilled. The hardest part of their work seemed to have been settled.
As the car slowly pulled into the hotel’s parking lot, Ethan helped Davis out and wheeled him carefully into their suite.
Once inside, Davis gave Ethan a curt nod before heading toward the door.
"Ethan, take a break for the day... Maybe use the opportunity to explore Noveira," he said.
Ethan nodded. "I understand." He glanced lightly at Jessica before leaving for his room.
Jessica walked over to the sofa and sat down, her head throbbing. Still, she dared not complain—Davis would worry too much, and he already had a scheduled meeting with some of his friends later.
Davis’s gaze settled on her, sharp as ever, observant. He took in the lines of tension around her eyes, the paleness just under her skin. "Babe, are you okay?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.
"Yes, I’m very, very okay," she replied with a sigh, then added, "I just didn’t expect Mr. Stan to be so sentimental and attached to the company."
"Yes, he is quite sentimental. I’ve noticed that over the years. His motivation stems from his hard work and the goodwill he’s built for the company," Davis explained thoughtfully.
"That’s the benefit of having a manager who’s worth the stress." She smirked, her thoughts drifting to Richard, who had always kept her company afloat while she indulged herself. "When last did you speak with Richard?"
"Last night," Davis said shortly. "He called to ask about you—and how you’re settling into the new environment."
