I’m Someone Else

Rose scurried off upstairs. Precious herbs were expensive and barely anyone would purchase them, but as a family of healers and pharmacists, they must have some of everything in their inventory, or their professionalism would be put into question.

Thomas was asking for a lot. Twenty high-quality wild manroots were almost all the manroots they had. This was a big decision, and it was normal for Rose to be this nervous.

Thomas plopped down on a chair and took a sip of water. Oh, right, it’s late. Olivia’s still working. He took out his phone and made a call. “Don’t worry, Olivia. I’ll be back soon.”

“It’s alright. I’m not going home anyway. Working overtime.”

“You’re pulling an all-nighter?” Thomas was surprised. She’s pulling out all the stops. At this rate, she’s going to destroy herself.

“Yeah. No way around it. I have to finish these before tomorrow as they’ll be needed at the meeting. Be careful out there, alright?” She hung up and went back to work.

“Okay.” Thomas smiled dryly and turned around. There was a pen and some paper on the table. Angelvale Pharmacy’s staff member had placed them there so they could jot things down when needed. He pulled a paper out and wrote down a formula for Olivia. It was one to replenish her energy.

He wasn’t much help when it came to her work, but he could keep her healthy with his skills. No one’s going to believe someone like Olivia has to work so hard. Everyone thinks she’s so glamorous and beautiful and powerful, but they have no idea how much she has had to work for it. Nothing’s easy in this world.
