Covering her bruised elbow, Kylie said guiltily, “Jerome, so sorry for making you come over this late. I wanted to walk around for a bit, but I suddenly blacked out and fell. I only fainted for a while, the nurse was making a huge fuss over it.”

Jerome’s eyebrows drew together as he asked, “Don’t you have a nurse here? Why do you have to move around?

“I want to get discharged quickly to help retrieve the project with Ansoft.”

“Don’t fret. It’s not like Bernhal Enterprise will fall apart without Ansoft.”

Indeed, Jerome had never given any presents except his card to Mikayla. She used to be mad over this. He set the earrings aside and said, “They’re two different things. The deal is compensation, and the gift was an act of courtesy.”

“Jerome, do you really have to be this rigid?” Kylie exclaimed angrily. “I just wanted to give Mikayla a gift! Why are you transferring money to me instead? I wouldn’t have asked you if it weren’t for the misunderstanding between me and her!”

Recalling the self–deprecating look on Mikayla’s face before he left, he finally accepted the pair of earrings.

“Mr. White liked the caviar I gave him last time, didn’t he? I’ll send him some more after this.”

“Jerome, you-

“You should sleep soon. I’ll get going.” Jerome rose and left her ward.
