I'm your Dad
Part 40 - Treating Wounds

"Good morning, Young Master!" greet Mila as she enters Regan's room.

"Morning. Has Laura arrived yet?"

"It seems not yet, sir. Maybe in a minute."

"If you're here, tell him to come to my room!"

"Okay, Young Master."

From the parking lot to the lobby and the quiet alleys, Laura ran around in a hurry, not caring that she was wearing high heels. The most important thing now was that he had to get to his room first. She's late.

At the intersection of the hallway to her room, Laura meets Mila who brings a cup of tea.

"Miss Laura! Why you-"

"Give me a drink first."

Laura cut off Mila's words with a gasp of breath, not yet getting an answer from the owner. Laura immediately grabbed the glass in Mila's hand and gulped it down.

"Miss, you're 1 hour and 20 minutes late. You-"

"I'm sorry, Mila. My car suddenly deflated, and I had to wait for the repair shop guy to fix it. In addition, finding a taxi is also very difficult in this working hour. I'm really sorry."

"Why didn't you call me? I could've picked you up earlier, rather than you waiting for a cab."

"I'm sorry, Mila, I didn't think to call you."

"Ck, you're this. Oh right, young master is looking for you, you better get to his room. I think he's waiting for you."

"What is he looking for me? And why is he here? Isn't there a meeting today? And shouldn't he be in his own company?"

"Don't ask me. I don't have an answer for you. You better leave soon, he's been waiting for you for a long time, and you're not too late for a second either."

"All right, I'll be there. Thanks for the tea."

The CEO's room...

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Master called me?"

"You're late."

"I'm sorry, sir. There was a little trouble on the way."

"Laura, sit!"

Laura said, sitting on the sofa opposite Regan. In fact, he also felt very tired from running from where his car stopped to the office.

When Laura was sitting down, Regan stood up and took something from the box, then walked up to Laura. Laura was shocked as Regan suddenly knelt in front of her.

"Lord. Wh-what are you doing?"

"You better shut up."

Laura immediately stood up from her seat, while Regan was still kneeling in front of her.

"No, Mister. You better stand up."

"Are you going to let your feet bruise and blister like this? It'll get worse if it's left alone."

Laura was surprised, then saw her feet that felt sore. Sure enough, his legs had been scuffed and there was a slight bruising.

Regan stood up, held onto Laura's shoulders, and led her to sit back down.

"You better shut up and sit down. This time, obey me. I don't want you to get in trouble."

Laura was silent, and obeyed Regan's words. Laura watched as Regan took off her heels, and slightly grimaced as Regan applied something to the wound on her leg.

"Done."

Regan turned her head, looking at Laura who was looking at her. With Laura sitting on the sofa and Regan still kneeling in front of her.

Regan gently touched Laura's injured leg, making Laura feel uncomfortable. However, as they looked at each other, there was a gentle and considerate expression on Regan's face that made Laura feel strange.

"Sit down well, Laura. I don't want to see you suffer" Regan said in a soft voice.

Laura gulped, still shocked by the actions of Regan who cared so much for her. He then obeyed Regan's orders and sat cautiously on the sofa. This scene was very unusual, considering their relationship should have been more formal.

Regan then took a small box from the table and opened it. Inside were bandages and small medicines. He began to treat the abrasions on Laura's leg meticulously. Regan's strong hands became so tender while taking care of Laura, making her even more confused.

"Thank you, sir," said Laura in a soft voice, as if feeling like a dream.

Regan smiled at him. "We should take care of each other, Laura. Come on, make sure to let you know if this leg still hurts."

The two of them sat in the room in a comfortable silence after the treatment was completed. This is a very unusual moment in their relationship, and both feel like there is an unexpected change in the dynamic between the ex-lovers.

Of course, there were a lot of questions raging in Laura's mind about why Regan was doing all this, but she felt that this was not the right time to ask. To be sure, today is a different day in the Company.
