Breakfast finished while Ruby Rowland ate in a state of constant anxiety. The moment the meal ended, Vince Russell spoke up, feigning friendliness.
"Aren't you going to work?"
Kieran Russell offered a faint smile, though his eyes remained utterly devoid of warmth. "Didn't you skip work too, Vince?"
Vince tilted his chin up, brimming with absolute confidence. "Sorry to break it to you, but I'm the big boss of my entire company. No one dares to say a word even if I show up late. You, on the other hand, are just an employee. You have a whole line of patients waiting for you."
Kieran let out an indifferent noise. "Sorry to disappoint, but the hospital director gave me the day off."
Vince was speechless. "Damn it!" he thought. "If the guy has a day off, why the hell is he running over to my house?"
While Vince was cursing internally, Kieran continued. "So, I came over today to take Ruby out to play."
