Remington shot Cedric a warning glare, but Cedric wasn't intimidated in the slightest. He called out loudly.
"Boss's lady, the boss and I are in the car!"
Lizetta was completely speechless.
Feeling her cheeks instantly heat up, she hung up the phone without another word.
Flustered, she tossed the phone aside, contemplating whether she should send him a sticker of someone getting punched. Just then, she acutely felt a gaze boring into her.
Lizetta snapped her head up, looking straight at the door.
The door was firmly shut, and the small viewing window was entirely empty. Nothing looked suspicious.
She scanned the room again but didn't notice anything out of place.
Considering the entire floor had been taken over by Remington's trusted security team, and every doctor and nurse allowed in had been strictly vetted, it was highly unlikely someone had slipped past.
She figured her nerves were just shot from the incident at the lake, causing her to imagine things.
She slipped out of bed, splashed some cold water on her face in the bathroom, and headed next door to check on Fiona.
But when she tried to push the door open, she found it locked from the inside.
Surprised, Lizetta knocked twice.
She heard some shuffling inside before Tina finally came over to unlock it.
"Oh, Mrs. Dashiell, please come in."
Lizetta stepped inside, asking casually, "Why was the door locked? Was Fiona resting?"
"The old lady accidentally spilled something on her gown and had to change, so she asked me to lock the door. She's doing wonderfully! Especially after hearing that you and Mr. Dashiell made up, her appetite has completely returned."
