NovelApexChapter 1349:
Hadley returned with a glass of water just as her phone trilled to life.
“Hello? Mr. Webster,” she said, recognition in her voice.
“Hadley, what in the world is happening? | couldn’t get through to you until now! Have you seen the time? The
entire crew is waiting—why aren’t you on set?” Elvin’s frustration crackled through the speaker.
She faltered, caught between explanations.
“Hand it over.” Eric extended his good hand toward her, fingers beckoning. “I'll handle him.”
Abandoning a filming day carried serious consequences. Hadley paused, weighing her options, and then
reluctantly surrendered the device.
“Hello.” Eric's voice dropped to a professional timbre. “Mr. Webster, Eric speaking.”
“Mr. Scott!” The transformation in Elvin’s tone was instantaneous, shifting from irritation to deference. “Is Hadley
with you?”
“Yes.” Eric offered no additional details. “I’ve fallen ill, and | require Hadley’s assistance for several days. I'll
personally cover any financial implications of her absence. Can you make the necessary arrangements?”
“Of course!” Elvin's agreement cwithout a moment's pause. “Mr. Scott, your health takes priority. Please
focus on recovery. Hadley should attend to your needs. Adonis and | will reconfigure everything at our end,” Elvin
assured him, and all previous irritation vanished.
“Thank you.” Eric concluded the call with crisp efficiency, then extended the phone back to Hadley with his good
hand.

A hiatus was indeed necessary—not solely for Eric’s recovery, but to ensure Joy's well-being and adjustment
after her ordeal.
“Don’t worry; it's handled,” Eric said with a dismissive flick of his wrist. “Phillips will manage the details. Any
problem money can fix isn’t really a problem.”
“Okay.” Hadley caught her lower lip between her teeth, leaving her additional concerns unvoiced.
“Here.” She redirected her attention to the glass of water in her hand.

“You should hydrate.”
“Alright...” Eric nodded and attempted to reach for the glass, but Hadley’s swift intervention halted his
movement.
“Don’t move. I'll assist you,” she commanded, her tone brooking no argument.
Was she planning to help him drink? Like a caretaker would? Eric experienced a peculiar sensation of
weightlessness, as if suspended in sperfect dreamscape.
“Okay,” he murmured, his response almost automatic.
