''Ali? No! I trust Ali, he is not a gossipy. Right, Ali?'' Alison asked and Ali started sweating.
She had just put him in trouble unknowingly with her words.
What did it mean?
It meant that Ali was aware that the workers bashed Walden but he had never told him nor did anything about it.
Ali chuckled awkwardly and shook his head, giving Walden a pleading gaze.
''I suddenly want to ride in the car with you. It seems your boss is a tyranny!''
''A tyranny? Well, I sometimes think that he is also a weirdo. All the windows in the office are always closed. He doesn't turn on the light except a little lamp at the side. Sometimes I have this strange feeling. What if he turns out to be a vampire?'' Alison said and Walden stuffed his hands inside his pockets and looked at her.
Ali started coughing. He quickly opened the door and said to Alison. ''Alison, you should get in. We will be late.''
''Oh, we can't afford to be late. Walden, get in.'' Alison said and was about to enter the front seat and Ali stopped her.
''Alison, why don't you and your friend sit at the back?'' Ali said and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
''Let's get in if he says so. Will you be punished if you are late?'' Walden asked and looked at Alison.
''Your salary will be cut off. My boss has a lot of money but I wonder what he uses all that money for. But, he did do something right. I got a scholarship to study at the university thanks to the company's sponsorship.'' Aliso replied and joined Walden at the back. Ali quickly got in and started the car.
''I see! Then, you owe your boss a lot.'' Walden said.
''I know. I haven't even paid back what he did for me. Despite his faults, I feel that he has a good heart. He founded for my nanny granny's burial. Thanks to the money he donated, I was able to give her a befitting burial.''
''Your nanny granny? Who is that?'' Walden asked with interest.
''She is my granny. The last of my family that passed away and now I am alone. No, I have a nephew so I'm not exactly alone. I also have a best friend…'' Alison turned to look at Walden. ''I mean a female best friend. You are my male best friend so don't be jealous.''
''Okay!'' Walden smiled.
When Ali saw Walden's rare smile, he was so shocked that he mistakenly stepped on the brake, bringing them to a jolt.
Because it was sudden, Alison's body came forward and Walden stretched his hand and caught her before he hit her face against the seat. He held her body back and placed his hand on the back of the front seat, accidentally twisting it.
''Oh! Walden, are you alright?'' Alison heard the sound of his twisted wrist and asked with a worried expression.
''Lord….'' Ali was about to yell out Walden's name when Walden gave him a stern look and he stopped.
''Mr…. Mr. Walden, are you alright?''
''Ali, did you just start driving? How could you make such a mistake? Walden is hurt because of you.'' Alison said and took Walden's hand.
''What to do? You are hurt. Ali, can you take us to the hospital?'' Alison asked.
''No, it's alright. I will be fine.'' Walden said to her.
''No, look at your wrist. It's reddened like this. It must hurt a lot. I'm sorry, Walden. Ali, take us to the hospital.'' Alison insisted.
''Mr. Walden, you…''
''Just listen to her and take me to the hospital.'' Walden said to Ali and he nodded his head.
Maybe, because she was busy worrying about Walden's hand, she didn't notice the command in Walden's words. She was too focused on his wrist to care for anything else.
Walden looked at Alison and suddenly felt something warmth creeping into his heart. For the first time in a long time, someone who wasn't his race was showing his genuine care. A human girl was actually worried and giving his assistant instructions because she was worried about him.
Alison got down from the car as soon as they reached the hospital. She stretched out her hand and helped Walden get down from the car.
''Alison, this is the private clinic for the boss' best friend. Since you are so worried about him, I decided to bring you here.''
Alison looked at the clinic and nodded. 'Let's go in, Walden!''
Alison watched as the doctor wrapped a bandage around Walden's wrist and she said to him.
''Doctor, please be gentle.''
Owen looked at Alison and shifted his gaze to Walden. He gave Walden a questionable look and asked in his mine. ''What is going on?''
''Just treat me and get away with it.'' Walden said with his eyes.
Owen smirked and turned to Alison. ''You look so worried. Are you two newly married?''
''Huh? No! He is not my husband!'' Alison said.
''Boyfriend then…'' Owen asked. He began to bandage Walden's entire hand from his wrist. Of course, Owen was doing this intentionally.
''No! He is my friend.'' Alison replied.
Owen finished and stood up. ''Alright, it's all done. For the time being, he cannot do a lot of things on his own so you should help him.'' Owen said and Walden sighed and shook his head.
''Is it that serious?'' Alison looked at Walden's hand and pouted her lips.
''It is serious. If he gets hurt again, it might be even more serious than that.'' Owen argued.
''Okay. Walden, I'm sorry. You tried to save me and this happened.''
''No, it's alright! Since we are done here, we should go.'' Walden stood up.
''Goodbye!'' Owen said and cocked his brows and smirked.
''Let's go!'' Alison held her bag and followed Walden out.
''You can go to work. I will take a taxi to the company from here. You don't have to worry about me.''
''No, this is serious.''
''Alison, I will be fine.''
''Then, I will call you later to check up on you. Don't worry about what to eat tonight. I will prepare food and bring it to your apartment. It is room 3303, right?'' Alison asked.
''Yes, it is.'' Walden replied.
Alison nodded and smiled. She got into the car with Ali, leaving Walden at the entrance of the hospital.
