NovelEnglishChapter 1753
After last night's incident, Theo no longer dared to let his guard down. Not only did he send several bodyguards
on the road for secret protection, but he even assigned bodyguards to be inside the company.
As | sat in my seat, | looked at the sight that was thrown atfrom tto time. | felt that something was off.
Feeling a slight hesitation, | chose to go to the office to chat with Theo.
"It's very safe in the company. Truthfully, no bodyguards are needed here. Not only will | feel uncomfortable
working under this condition, but they aren't truly doing the job at hand."
| looked at Theo, hoping he would listen to me.
After a long while, he responded slowly," I'm only worried about you."
It was a short sentence but it was filled with his concern.
"| know, but the company is really safe. How could those people be allowed to sneak in here, President Grant?"
| was being stubborn, and Theo knew my character well. He could only let things go my way after seeinglike
this. "Alright. | get it."

Once | returned to my department, it did not take long for those scorching gazes to disappear.
After calming down, | finally got back to work.
Due to the sudden incident with Queenie, the position of team leader was left vacant. In the past, the daily data
was given to Nicky by Queenie. Now, | had to do it myself.
When | arrived at Nicky's office, | knocked on the door.
"Please cin."
Her voice was not as energetic as before, and it sounded a little weak.
| pushed in the door and put the sorted data in front of her. "Here's today's data, Director."
"You've worked hard. Just put it there for now."
The tto get off work was approaching. With Nicky's work efficiency, she would usually be done with her work
at an earlier time. However, there were still a lot of documents scattered on her desk.
Seeing her holding her head with her hand, I stepped forward to ask, "Does your head hurt? Should you get
srest?"
Nicky raised her head and saw my concerned eyes. She waved her hand and replied, "I'm alright. These
documents have to be processed first. Everything's fine, so you should head out first."
She was a strong woman and was not one to easily show weakness. | understood her as | was the same.
After giving a response, | went out.
It was tto get off work, but | did not immediately leave. It was getting late, and | went for another stroll to
Nicky's office.
Through the glass door, | saw that she had finished processing sof the documents and was standing in front
of the shelf, sorting out the materials.
Bam!
She accidentally knocked her head on the shelf. She held the shelf with one hand and her head with the other
thurriedly entered the door and lent her a hand. "Why are you still working in this state?"
| helped Nicky back to her seat and checked her injuries. A lot of blood had seeped through to the gauze,
perhaps from the knock earlier.
"You didn't change your dressing this morning." | assumed this when | saw that the white gauze was slightly

Nicky merely smiled. "There wasn't
enough tit's alright. It's a small matter." "How can it be a trivial matter? The doctor has said that
you must change it frequently. Otherwise, it's likely that the wound
will get infected. What ifelhet
inflamed?" There was a bit of blaming in my voice.
Perhaps feeling guilty from my words, Nicky did not speak. She merely hissed in pain a few times. It was obvious
that her head was hurting a lot.
1 could not bear to see her like this,
so | made an abrupt decision. "Listen to me, you can't refuseanymore. I'm taking you hwith me. There's
Caroline at home, and she can help you change your dressing and take care of you. After a few days, when
you're almost better, I'll allow you to head back. You're suffering now because of me. If | don't do this, I'll feel
uneasy."
| had a stern look on my face, and there
