“Sir, did you catch a cold? I can handle things here.

You should go home and get some rest.

You haven’t been able to rest properly for days.”

Carson was about to refuse, but then he sneezed again.

Lately, the weather was growing colder by the day.

He had indeed been staying up late for several nights.

Chances were, he might’ve caught a cold.

He cleared his throat and said, “No, it’s fine.

You should go home and get some rest, Ivan.

You haven’t been able to have a good rest for over two weeks as well.”

“Sir, I’m fine.

Your work is much more exhausting than mine.

Mr.

Scott, you should-“

“Fine, fine.

I’ll do it.” After sneezing two times in a row, Carson felt that his nose was clogged up.

He was starting to get a migraine because of Ivan’s nagging.

“We both haven’t had any proper rest for days.

If you don’t want to go home or take a break, we’ll both stay here and work together.

That way, we can go home and get some rest later.”

Having heard the suggestion, Ivan said nothing more.

He just nodded and made way for Carson.

The hospital was a well-ventilated place, and it was getting colder every day, which meant that it was a lot easier to catch a cold here.

The windows of the corridor were opened.

A gust of cold wind blew in, causing people to shiver.

Once they were inside the room, the air conditioning made Carson feel much warmer.

“Tell me, what did the investigators say?” Carson asked while looking at Ivan and pouring a glass of warm water for himself.

After a moment of silence, Ivan answered, “They didn’t really say much.

I asked them a bunch of questions, but they answered none of it.

They claimed that it was still confidential, since the investigation was ongoing.”

“In that case, why did you look so sullen seconds ago?” Carson put down the glass.

“I know you were just nervous, but if someone else saw you like this, they might think that Sullivan Group is about to go bankrupt.”

“How are you still in the mood to joke, Mr.

Scott?”

“Am I not allowed to crack a joke or two every now and then?” Carson chuckled.

“Should I be wearing the same stoic face as you are? I don’t look handsome while scowling, you know!”

Ivan was rendered speechless.

At this point, he didn’t know what to say.

“Since the investigation is still ongoing, there’s nothing else we can do but wait,” Carson said.

“Victor would’ve said the same thing.”

Ivan looked at him, visibly surprised.

‘They really are best friends!

They can tell what the other is thinking all the time.’

Even though Victor hadn’t said anything, he was just as Carson had described.
