Carl brought Loraine up to speed on the matter.
This surprised Loraine a lot.
Arent you Marcos assistant? Why are you reporting this to me instead of to your boss? she asked in confusion.
Well, Mr. Bryant got injured at the scene of the protest. Hes yet to make a full recovery, so he asked me to report the new findings to you instead, Carl replied without hesitation.
Marco was injured!
Loraines mind traveled back to what happened a few days ago.
The protest site had been so chaotic. For the whole time, Marco wrapped his arms around her to keep her away from harm. She couldnt have known that he got hurt.
Did he get injured because of her?
Ahem! How bad is his injury? Loraine asked, her voice softened.
This was the chance he was waiting for! Carl suddenly lowered his voice and said sadly, Well Hes seriously injured. The doctor said that his condition is very bad. We are just hoping that he pulls through.
Carl exaggerated Marcos condition as if the latter was on the brink of death.
Loraine rolled her eyes and sucked her teeth.
Her instincts told her that Marcos condition wasnt as bad as his assistant was making it out to be.

What ?
Carl was cut off by the disconnect tone the next second.
He stared at the phone and was lost in thought. It seemed that Marco had a rough road ahead of him.
Back in Loraines office, Cayson knocked and walked in just as she set down her phone.
Lorrie, the person who put Eliza up to it is very smart. They blocked her account as soon as she was arrested. The cops are interrogating
Eliza, but she refuses to confess. On the bright side, they have tracked down the IP address of the account to a hospital.
A hospital? Someone suddenly came to Loraines mind.
