I'm sure her contact details will be part of her data she applied with.
I don't tell him that.
"Have you already paid for the hotel?" I asked.
"No not yet," he replied. "Why?"
"I don't think she would want to go to the hotel," I answered.
"What do you mean?"
"Chloe has taken a liking to her and having her away from me will only cause problems," I explained. "I've already started bonding properly with Chloe and all."
"Oh no," he said.
"What?"
"You've fallen for her," he said.
"What are you on about this time?" I asked.
"Don't even try to bluff your way out of this one," he warned. "You wouldn't have hesitated to have her out of the house because you actually like your space. To think that you'd eve use our darling Chloe as an excuse."
It sounded like he was almost back to his cheerful self again.
"That's not it at all," I said. "She's taking good care of Chloe. It would be a waste to have the both of them apart from each other."
"There he goes again, with that excuse," he sighed. "Just ask her if she wants to go. If she's okay going, then that's fine and if you manage to hypnotize her and make her stay, then that's fine as well."
Hypnotize?
"I'll ask her," I said.
"Let me know before the end of the day, so I can make proper plans," he suggested.
Ethan planning something?
Maybe it was something surgically related.
"I will, and good luck," I said before hanging up.
"You've fallen for her."
For someone like Ethan who hardly notices anything, to notice that I had fallen for Olivia, then I had a lot of work to do. I decided to stretch my legs and maybe go for a break while I was at it. There was a cafeteria built outside the hospital. I didn't want the smell of food to get overpowered by the smell of drugs. I ordered a malt and observed my surroundings. Whenever I saw my staff eating together, it filled me with joy.
"What's gotten you grinning like that?" a familiar voice asked.
"I'm just enjoying the view," I said as Olivia stood by my side and watched the staff eating.
"You know, back at Helen's, no matter how good she was to us, there were still people who found faults with her," she said. "But everyone on your team loves you. Now if that isn't wholesome then I don't know what is."
"I'm sure you're just saying that," I muttered.
"I wish I was," she sighed.
"That reminds me," I said as I turned to face her; that's when I even noticed that she had ordered the same thing. "Ethan called and said he had a hotel room available for you. You're free to move in tomorrow."
I stared at her intently to see if there was any sign of her hesitating, and there it was. The look of dissatisfaction was clear on her face. But I needed to make sure.
