Chapter 115

I fumbled and reached for the remote to the air conditioner and switched it off . It was incredibly hot, but it was making Anthony uncomfortable . Next, I made him lean forward, and I held him so that I could pull off the suit that he was wearing . For some odd reason, he had thought that wearing a suit would somehow make the meeting seem formal . How much more formal could a strategic meeting be? I huffed as I threw the offending thing at the corner of the room .

”Michael,” I whispered again . He seemed to hear what I was saying .

”What?” he groaned .

”Are you okay?” I asked .

”Do I look it?” I suppose that he hadn't lost his touch even when he was ill . I chuckled and mumbled a no .

”Can you open your eyes?” He just groaned again; I took that as a no . ”What's wrong?” I whispered .

”My head . . . hurts,” his voice grew raspy .

”I'll take care of you,” I promised, surprising myself a little bit . He made this throat sound that I couldn't decipher . I tucked myself under his arm and held him in my grasp before I pulled him up on his feet . He was heavy, the good sort, but I knew that it was going to be difficult to transfer him to his room .

I could have called for Ethan, but somehow, I didn't feel the need to . I could do this myself without having to tell Ethan . He had backed out from the confrontation with Anthony, anyways .

I would have to ask him about that .

It was impressive that Anthony could hold his weight a bit . He had seemed like he didn't have the strength to speak, but he tried his best to stay upright and act strong .

”Let your weight go . I can handle you,” I told him . He let out a strangled chuckle and then went silent .

”Of course you can,” he replied as we neared the stairs, but he made no move to put his entire weight on me .

So much for trusting me .

He's just trying to act strong .
