Ethan had made the decision to step back from his work and leave the day-to-day responsibilities to his trusted assistant, James. He had complete faith in James' abilities and knew that he could handle anything that came up.
"James, I'm counting on you to keep things running smoothly," Ethan had said, as he handed over the reins. "If anything urgent comes up, don't hesitate to bring it to my attention. But for now, my focus is on Bella and her health, until I know she's stable I can't concentrate on anything else."
James had nodded understandingly. "Of course, Sir. I understand, Family comes first. We've got this."
