"Mr. Chairman... Mr. Chairman..."
Felix's voice trembled as he spoke these words. His words were pierced with anxiety. He was genuinely worried about Meiden's health.
"Calm down," growled his boss breathing heavily. "And not a word to anyone."
Since Olaf Meiden was able to speak to him like this, it meant he was not yet in critical condition. Thank goodness!
He's not panicking, and neither can I, thought Felix, and felt calm. I am his secretary. I am his support. I have to be strong to be a good support for him in his work. But in a situation like this, Meiden will also need the support of someone closer - his family.
"Judging by your medication, you've already been to the doctor."
Meiden nodded. Then he replied:
"Yes. I know perfectly well what ails me."
