9. Take care of him

One day Liam wasn't answering her or Levy on the phone. Both were worried. It was afternoon and still they did not receive a reply.

Thinking he might be sick she told Levy," I'll go check on boss. Inform this to Mr Miles." He nodded. She left hurriedly with an expression of worry on her face.

Miles was late to office as he had an important business meeting to attend. When he came, he saw Levy standing with a worried expression." Hey Levy, what happened? Is your girlfriend sick?" , he asked in a teasing tone.

When he saw that he was still worried, he was confused." Boss hasn't come yet and is not replying to any calls or messages. Lara just left a while back to check on him. She must be there by now", he said in a worried tone.

Miles was surprised and decided to call Lara to ask her how he was. When he took his phone out it started ringing. It was Lara.' What a coincidence', he thought before answering.

After reaching his place she tried knocking the door, but no one answered. She tried to open it and it easily opened. She was worried if someone broke in and attacked him.

She went in calling his name repeatedly. There was no sign of burglary, everything was organized. She decided to check the rooms. When she went to one of the bedrooms, she found him lying on the floor.

She quickly went beside him and checked if there was a pulse. Thankfully there was but his body was boiling hot. She at once understood that he had high fever and decided to contact Miles.

After he picked the call she spoke swiftly," Sir please get a doctor here quickly. Boss is having high fever."" Okay. I'll be there soon", he said and hung up.

She started to slowly help him up and lay him down on the bed.

Miles face immediately turned a bit worried and he told Levy," Contact a doctor quickly and send him to boss's place. I am heading there now".

Levy nodded and started contacting the doctor, while he ran back to the elevator and rushed to his house.

When Lara was helping Liam up, she heard him repeatedly mutter," Mom please listen to me"" Please forgive me". She initially didn't pay much attention to him and quickly tucked him in.

Then she went to find a bowl of water and a towel to try to reduce his temperature. She placed an ice pack on his forehead and slowly started patting the wet towel around his face and on his palms.

By this time Miles had reached there. He was shocked to see her take care of him. She maintained a distance and gently patted the cloth. She turned when she heard noises and looked at him with a worried expression." How is he doing?", he asked.

" Not that well. I am trying to reduce his temperature by doing this. It will take some time to start showing effect.", she said. He nodded.

The doctor was there soon. She stepped away so that he could take a proper look at him. The doctor checked his temperature and pulse and then told them that he was fine and just needed some rest.

His body was stressed, so he prescribed a tablets for a few days. He then left.

" I'll check if he has sufficient ingredients to make some food", she sais and left. He went with her. When she checked his fridge and shelves, she saw that almost everything was spoilt." Boss seriously needs a woman or a caretaker at home. I'll go to the supermarket to get some groceries, can you stay till than?", she said and sighed.

He chuckled and asked," Why does he need someone?"" Most of the food her is either expired or completely useless, so he seriously needs someone to take care of him", she said.

He smiled and said," I'll stay if you promise to let me taste your cooking." She giggled and showed a thumbs up sign agreeing to him and then left.

She returned after an hour with a bag full of groceries. He looked at her in confusion and asked," Are you going to make all of that today?"

" Nope. Just stocking his shelf a bit as I'll have to throw most of things", she said and went to the kitchen. He also followed and sat in the counter and said," Please give me the honour to be your lab rat."

She chuckled and said," Sure. Just don't end up eating everything and leave some for boss." He laughed and said," You trust your cooking skills this much?" She nodded and started working.

He was gazing at her the whole time and she didn't give him any attention. She was completely focused on cooking.

She started by throwing away almost everything and then restocking the shelves. Then she washed the vegetables that she would need and started cutting them.

He was surprised at the speed at which she was chopping and even more when he saw that almost all the pieces were of the same size. She was like a professional chef.
