He hadn't even started to give her medicine or touched her, but Angelina let out a soft cry, "It hurts."

Keith froze slightly and turned his head to look at the beautiful girl leaning on the hospital bed like a little fox.

On the hospital bed, the girl stared straight at him with clear, innocent eyes.

Keith looked down at his palms with a slight smile on his face and said, "Miss Jefferson, just hold it for a minute.

Angelina looked up at him with a somehow alluring look, "Well then, Mr. Fuller, can't you be a little gentler?"

Her two consecutive soft cries reminded Keith of what had happened in that suit at the hotel that day.

Her slender waist and seductive eyes... Almost every part of her body seduced him...

Her voice was soft and very sweet; when she looked at him with those seductive eyes, he just...

Keith swallowed and then pulled the curtain around her bed to hide her from his view.

If he continued to look at her, he could not guarantee that he would be able to maintain his proud self-control.

Angelina's view was completely blocked by the curtain and she couldn't see a thing. She asked, "Mr. Fuller, what are you doing?"

"It's more comfortable for me not to look at you."

Angelina held back her laughter with a slightly arched eyebrow and asked, "But what if I want to see you?"

Keith did not answer, while she seemed to hear some slight movements coming from the other side of the curtain.

But Angelina couldn't see what was happening on the other side of the curtain, so she felt a little annoyed.

After a while, she wanted to say something, but she was stunned by a warm touch on her ankle.

Angelina held her breath, unable to believe that he was actually helping her apply the ointment!

'This is not appropriate, is it? She thought to herself.

'Aren't Ishmael Fuller, my fiancé, and Rosalyn Shelten hitting it off these days?'

Angelina didn't have much time to think before the pain from her injured ankle drove her out of her mind.

He did exactly as Dr. Sullen had instructed, "The ointment needs to be applied several times, and only a small amount each time."

During the process, Angelina couldn't help but let out a soft cry of pain.

However, the person on the other side of the curtain seemed to have no reaction to her soft cry and just accelerated the application process.

Well, she felt a little strange.

'Why does the hand that is applying the ointment to me feel so small?' She wondered in her mind.

After the ointment was applied, the curtain was pulled aside, and a nurse appeared. She smiled and asked, "Does it hurt no more?"

Angelina had to admit that she felt a little awkward when she saw the nurse at that moment.

'Is this... Is this a magic transformation trick?' she thought to herself.

'Wait... That's not exactly right... Did that overbearing CEO turn into this nurse?!'

Angelina regained her senses and replied, "Thank you, when did you get here?"

"A minute ago," the nurse replied, "your boyfriend was afraid you were going to cry, so he asked me to help you apply the ointment."

Angelina immediately blushed a little and said, "He is not my boyfriend.

The nurse kindly pulled the curtain back to its holder by the bed and tied it. When she heard Angelina's answer, she was a little surprised, "Oh? I thought you two were perfect for each other. He's handsome and you're beautiful!"

Meanwhile, Keith went to the smoking area on the same floor.

Now it was early morning. But because of her intentional or unintentional flirting, he felt a little restless heat and found it hard to suppress his desires.

Keith smiled helplessly and lightly flicked the ash off his cigarette with his index finger.

He couldn't restrain his thoughts any longer, and could easily relate to something he shouldn't think about.

Keith didn't want to hurt her when their relationship was unclear, otherwise...

Otherwise, the pain she would feel later because of him would be more severe and lasting than the pain she felt today because of her injured ankle.

His phone rang at this point. It was from Jackson Luther, asking how to deal with Ivan Chanderson and the rest of the investors.

Ivan and those investors were locked in the box for the night and Jackson told Keith that he had heard that some of the guys couldn't hold their sexual desires anymore and found a way to ease their desires in the box.

Anyway, they had a miserable and torturous night.

Keith calmly replied, "Call the police. Find out how they got that kind of drug and let the law deal with them.

On the other end of the phone, Jackson Luther clicked his tongue and then replied, "Got it. Rest assured. Director Gates has already made some calls. I believe we will have more information soon."

Well, Mr. Fuller is as ruthless as ever, saving all his tenderness for Miss Jefferson. Jackson thought to himself.

Niles came over with breakfast and said, "Mr. Fuller, I just met Miss Jefferson's agent downstairs."

Keith looked at him and replied slowly, "Got it. Just take breakfast for her."

"Aren't you going in, Mr. Fuller?"

"Tell her I have to take care of something."

Niles didn't dare say anything else. He knocked on the door and entered Angelina's room.

Keith didn't smoke, but today was an exception.

She spoke to him with such a tone and voice...

If he went back to her ward, he might not be able to get out for a while.

Angelina was helped by the nurse to wash up and when she came out of the washroom, she saw Niles standing obediently at the door.

"Miss Jefferson, good morning."

"This is the breakfast that Mr. Fuller arranged especially for you. I hope you like it."

Angelina could smell the coffee and butter from afar. After a long night of tossing and turning, she was indeed a little hungry, "Where is Mr. Fuller?"

"Mr. Fuller has something to do, so he can't join you."

After that, Niles was afraid that Angelina might misunderstand, so before he left, he added, "It's something in the office. I should go now. Enjoy your breakfast, Miss. Jefferson."

Angelina opened the insulated bag and discovered that Nile had brought her breakfast from the Royals' Cakes.

The bag contained a white chocolate croissant, a buttered scone, a serving of ham, a fruit salad, and a cup of black coffee - all Angelina's favorites.

How did the man who was engaged to her for the sake of the family business know that she liked the bread and coffee from Royals' Cakes?

Finally, Janet York, her agent, arrived. Janet interrupted Angelina's thoughts and asked, "How could you still be in the mood for breakfast? Why didn't you tell me?"

Angelina silently took the coffee from the bag and replied, "I contacted you. Maybe you were overwhelmed with other people's messages and just missed mine?"

Janet almost lost her temper at her words, "When did you contact me? I called you a dozen times, but you didn't answer!"

There was a moment of silence between them.

'Janet didn't get my message?' Angelina was a little confused.

Although she had almost fainted yesterday, she remembered that she had sent a message to Janet.

Or had she sent the message to someone else?

Well, indeed, she had a feeling that something was not quite right...

Her cell phone ran out of battery last night and shut down automatically. So she borrowed Janet's charger.

While she waited for her phone to restart, she felt like a criminal waiting for her sentence.

Finally, her phone had enough power and turned on. She quickly opened WhatsApp.

Apparently, many of her contacts had a red dot in the upper right corner of their avatars, indicating that she hadn't read their messages.

There were messages from Janet... And even from Might Keith...

Might Keith made a lot of voice calls and she accidentally sent the message meant for Janet to Might Keith...

Janet asked casually, "Well, where is the message you insisted you sent me? Did you eat it?"

'Oh!!! OMG!!!' Angelina screamed in her heart.

Angelina immediately covered her face and exclaimed, "Ohhh!!! I'm toast..."

Her favorite big shot in the character voice business, who she admired and respected the most, received an inexplicable message in the middle of the night telling him that she was in the ladies room!

Angelina really wanted to cry.

She was so preoccupied with the fact that she had sent a seemingly flirtatious message to Might Keith that she barely paid attention to Janet's speech.

After a moment of hesitation, she decided to send Might Keith a message to explain. After all, he had made several voice calls to her, so he must have been worried about her at the time, right?

Angelina texted, "Something unexpected happened yesterday. I sent the wrong message... I hope it didn't affect you. SUPER SORRY!!!"

Then she sent an emoji that looked pitiful, cowering in the corner.

As soon as she put her phone down, she received a reply from Might Keith.

Might Keith said, "You got to me.

He continued, "So let's switch roles tonight."

Angelina was confused and texted back, "What do you mean?"

Might Keith said, "Tonight it's your turn to put me to sleep through the phone."
