I've Been There Before

Grace didn’t wake up until the afternoon due to her exhaustion and fever.

She blinked her eyes open and took in the white celling, wondering where she was.

“Wake up?”

A magnetic voice suddenly sounded.

Grace’s heart stuttered before turning back to see the man languidly leant in the chair, holding a file in his hand.

When Grace looked at him, his narrowed eyes happened to meet his. “Hungry?”

He shifted his eyes back to his file after asking.

Grace looked around and words slipped out of her dry lips, “President Shaw, thank you for taking me to hospital. Sorry to bother you.”

Caden annoyingly clenched his file tightly as he heard her husky voice.

President Shaw, thank you for taking me to hospital. Sorry to bother you…Was those all she could say to him?

Grace look down to the ground, not daring to look at him, for he didn’t say anything.

Nothing but Page turning sound filled the whole ward.

Caden kept going through his file as Grace was in silence.

Awkward, yet kind of harmonious.

Neither of them bothered to ruin the weird air.

Finally, Grace uttered.

“President Shaw.”

She opened her mouth, gently calling.

But the man by her bed had no response for her calling as he was busy with his own business.
