Melody was trying her level best to keep up with her work while feeling ill. Brandon looked up and noticed she was feeling uncomfortable and walked over. He asked her again if she was okay and she didn't want to tell him to truth and said yes. Brandon just sighed and went to get his medical kit for some medicines. He walked back to her and put the medicine box on the table. He also left a bottle of mineral water on her table.
Brandon had ordered some porridge awhile ago for Melody as well. Just as he was about to check on the status of the porridge, Time sent in the porridge and Brandon walked to Melody's table with the porridge. He set it down on her table and said
"Eat this porridge and take some medication. It will help you to recover and feel better."
Melody was a bit surprised and replied
"Thank you sir, but I didn't say anything and how did you know? "
Brandon just gave her a small smile and told her "When you walked in you looked unwell but you refuse to tell me the truth when I enquired. I do not know the reason why but know that at times it's okay to trust people and tell about your conditions. I know it's still the first week of work and all but that doesn't mean you should put aside your health. Health is also important as you cannot focus on your work when you are not feeling well. "
Melody was a bit taken aback by his reply. She looked down and looked up again at Brandon and said "I'm sorry sir. I just didnt want to leave a bad impression because I got this job after a lot of difficulties. I'll not hide it next time and take my health for granted. Thank you sir. "
She quietly ate the porridge and took the medication. Then she continued her work and making sure of the correct documents which will be used in the upcoming meeting three days from now.
Unknown to her Brandon was silently watching her movements while pretending to be focused on his work. Melody may never know the reason but Brandon has had a crush on her for a long time. She does not remember him perhaps he deduced. Noticing that she was diligent in her work, he went back to focusing on the documents that needed his approval. After a couple of hours, it was lunch time and Brandon decided to have his lunch in the office so that he does not have to worry about Melody as well. Assistant Tim and John both joined them in the office for lunch.
Brandon had ordered some light and non greasy food because Melody was unwell. There was steamed chicken, rice and steamed vegetables with some fruits and warm water. They ate in silence. Brandon noticed that Melody was a bit shy and he took the initiative to put some food in her bowl. Tim and John were both shocked by this gesture as they had never seen Brandon take the initiative to go to this extend to look after someone. Melody was startled but quickly said thank you and continued eating. After lunch, Assistant Tim and John also went back to their work. Brandon reminded Melody to take her medications again and went back to his place as well. Melody quietly obeyed him and took medication. As the clock was ticking away she started to feel a bit worn out and also drowsy due to the effects of the medication and her condition at the moment. Brandon noticed that and decided to finish work early so that she could have a break. He wrapped up his work at 4pm and told the Melody, Tim and John also to wrap up what they were doing and to continue it tomorrow. He then told Melody he will send her back. Melody originally wanted to refuse but then decided no since Brandon was offering sincerely and decided to accept.
