Chapter 230 - 16: Exchanging promises
"There’s no need to come here, Sir Steve. This is nothing," Killian spoke after a few minutes. He had a feeling his boss won’t even start a conversation with him if he didn’t initiate it.
Nathaniel furrowed his brows. Not just from being called by someone’s name but from the coldness of Killian’s voice. "You have a broken arm and a bruised face, and it’s nothing? Who are you trying to fool here?"
"I just don’t want to waste your time, sir. You seemed so busy these days." Killian tried, but he still sounded sarcastic.
Nathaniel halted. He pursed his lips and looked away. "Mr. Arden... I...I will settle the bill, stay here."
Killian watched Nathaniel leave. He felt exhausted for some reason. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes. It wasn’t even that late in the afternoon, yet he was sleepy already. Before he realized it, he drifted to sleep already.
When Nathaniel came back, he found Killian sleeping. On his hand was the prescription of the doctor. Guilt surged through him as he watched the omega peacefully sleeping. Was he the cause of his lack of sleep?
He approached Killian. "You’re like this because of a misunderstanding? Killian, I don’t think it is, though."
Killian was the one who helped Ingrid before, and maybe that was the reason why the female omega broke up with her boyfriend—because she found someone more kind, thoughtful, and handsome than her shitty partner.
He gathered Killian in his arms and carried him to his car. He couldn’t just leave him there, so he decided to bring him home. He remembered Killian’s unit uses a key, so he searched the omega’s pockets but failed to find it.
"Is it on his bag... I should call Steve." He took out his phone and called his secretary. "Bring Killian’s things here. He’s sleeping, so I’m going to take him home. Yes, right now."
Several minutes later, Steve came. Thankfully, Killian was sleeping or else he might have wondered why the chairman was following the director’s orders instead.
