I felt utterly helpless. I didn't know why Adrian was so obsessed with being the boss. How could he say such things with a straight face? Suddenly, I remembered his passionate and wild demeanor in bed, and it dawned on me that he wasn't joking. My thoughts wandered, but then I heard Alfred clear his throat, "By the way, Adrian, have you met Dr. William? He's also Alina's fiancé." "Dr. William is also..." Adrian looked at me in surprise. I suddenly recalled that last night, in my rush to treat Old Bartley. I had only briefly greeted William. He seemed vaguely familiar, but I hadn't thought much of it. Now I understood why. "He took care of Bartley all night and just went to sleep," Alfred explained. "When he wakes up, you should get to know each other." His expression grew serious.
