Thinking of this, she whispered to Dylan, "can you excuse us for a few minutes?"
Dylan knew she wanted to talk to Fiona alone.
"Okay, I'll go to the doctor for your examination report." He patted on her hand with a reassuring smile before he left.
Fiona's chin almost dropped in astonishnt.
The big boss, a domineering tyrant in the company, was so warm and attentive in front of Savannah.
He arranged the best hospital for Savannah when she was ill, prepared private bodyguards to protect her, and left without another word when she asked him to go out.
It was hard to imagine that the big boss would care about a woman so much.
When the door closed, Savannah gave a slight, apologetic cough and said, "Fiona, I'm sorry... I never told you."
Fiona shook her hand with a wry smile.
"In fact, there were rumors you were introduced by Mr. Sterling when you entered the company. I have guessed that you and Mr. Sterling have a special relationship... So it's not too surprising. You never ntioned that, but I was wondering why Mr. Sterling paid special attention to our company and often ca after you joined Zagreb Film. It's because of you... Oh, how silly of ."
Savannah was very sorry.
"I'm sorry, Fiona, we… A good many things had taken place between us. I don't know where to start... There was a reason I didn't ntion him to you when I entered the company. I didn't rember him at all at that ti, and I never thought I'd be with him again..."
"I see. I know your temperant. You are not a loud person. Actually, this is a personal matter between you and Mr. Sterling. You don't have to tell anyone. I just think I'm a little... silly and embarrassed. You must have laughed at when I took Mr. Sterling as an idol in front of you." Fiona sipped her lips.
"Of course not. Why should I laugh at you? As long as you don't get angry and think I ant to deceive you."
"How can I be angry with you?" Fiona smiled, joking, "you are the future wife of the boss. I want to keep my job!"
"But you like Dylan... don't you? Aren't you angry when I keep it from you?" Savannah asked carefully.
"Co on!" Fiona interrupted her busily, "Mr. Sterling is…an idol of mine. My feelings for him are the sa as my feelings for Chris. Chasing stars, you know. Don't think too much! Mr. Sterling is the star in the sky, he won't even take a look at . Don't ntion it again, Savannah!"
Savannah studied her expression and knew she didn't really get angry and was much relieved.
They chatted for a while. Fiona was told a part of their story, including that Savannah was the woman who had given birth to Mr. Sterling's only son. Again, she was stunned and speechless.
While they were still chatting, the door was knocked on twice. A bodyguard poked his head in and said respectfully,
"Miss Schultz, Mr. Sterling said that you are not fit to talk too long."
Fiona responded quickly and stood up. "Oh, I'm sorry. Savannah, have a good rest. I have to go."
"It's all right," said Savannah. "Stay and talk with for five more minutes."
"I'm afraid Mr. Sterling will co to drive out," jokedFiona as she looked outside the door.
Mr. Sterling really took care of Savannah.
Savannah had to nod and wave Fiona goodbye.

Royal Villa.
Over the past few days, the servants of the Rowe family noticed that their young lady, Charlotte Rowe, had been fretting like a cat on hot bricks.
Especially after learning that Miss Schultz and the young master of the Sterling family were sent to the hospital, she was even more disturbed. She did not go out of the house and was unable to eat.
This quiet afternoon, Charlotte, so sulky that Savannah escaped again, jumped to the shrill of her cell phone.
It was a strange number.
She guessed who called, holding her breath, and answered it.
Sure enough, there ca Edmond's haggard, husky voice, "Charlotte..."
Charlotte suddenly changed her face and snapped in a low voice,
"Don't you know you're wanted all over town? Do you still dare call ? Are you mad?"
"Charlotte, I've contacted a smuggler I used to know when I was a private investigator. He offered to smuggle to Vietnam. We're leaving tonight. Will you co with ?" His voice was tired.
"Tut. Are you joking? Why should I go to Vietnam with you? Am I crazy, or are you crazy?" Charlotte showed impatience.
"The kidnapping of Schulz and her son was brought to light. The police will co after you on this matter, sooner or later. Even if the police don't investigate you, the Sterlings won't spare you. Your family cannot keep you at that ti. It's safest for you to leave with ," Edmond said urgently.
"I'm not going with you! What's this got to do with ? You did it. I never asked you to do that. Don't talk nonsense! I warn you, for the sake of old companionship, I can pretend not knowing your plan. But if you keep pestering , I will tell you!" snarled Charlotte in a low voice.
Edmond's heart sank. In fact, he had long realized that Charlotte was approaching him to make use of him. However, he didn't expect she would be so heartless. After making full use of him, she gave him the brush and made a clean break with him. She even threatened to tell him…
"You really don't go with ?" His voice trembled.
"Go with you? In your dreams!" Charlotte snubbed him. How could he think a rich, beautiful lady like her would be willing to elope with a wanted criminal?
"Charlotte, I've done so much for you..." Edmond was not giving up yet.
"Shut up, am I not clear enough? I repeat, if you call again and talk nonsense, I'll call the police imdiately! Don't bla when you sit in prison!" Charlotte just wanted to scare Edmond, warning him not to bother her again. If the police caught him, she would be in trouble too.
