Sean’s personal doctor was staying in a guest room downstairs, and Sam had already called him over.
The doctor hurried in with his medical kit. One look at Sean’s condition drained the color from his face. His hands shook as he gave Sean an injection.
Meanwhile, Sam dragged Zoe out and told a female hotel staff member to find her some clothes. Once she was dressed, he had her escorted straight to the police station.
When that was done, Sam rushed back upstairs to check on Sean.
“How is he, Doctor?” Sam asked nervously.
Wiping the sweat from his brow, the doctor took a moment to steady his breathing before replying, “I don’t know exactly what drug was used, so I can’t prescribe the precise antidote yet. I’ve given him something to relieve the symptoms for now. His condition is stable for the moment, but he needs to get to a hospital immediately. We can’t delay.”
“Understood. I’ll take him there now,” Sam said.
An hour later, Sean finally woke up. Lying in the hospital bed, his face was pale.
Sam stood at his side, head lowered, giving his report. “Mr. Jasper, this was my mistake. Whatever punishment you decide, I’ll accept. Just please… don’t fire me. I can’t lose this job.”
Sean’s gaze was cold. “How did she get into my room?”
Sam lowered his head even further, his voice dropping. “About twenty minutes before it happened, I ran into Zoe in the lobby. She was in a rush and bumped into me. Your room key was in the pocket of my jacket, and I think she stole it then.”
“You didn’t notice the card was missing right away?” Sean’s tone was dangerously low.
A chill ran down Sam’s spine. “I’m sorry, sir. That was my oversight.”
“Where is she now?”
“She’s already been taken to the police station.”
Sean’s eyes hardened. “Cut off all cooperation with ZH Corporation. Begin preparations to acquire them.”
“Yes, sir.”
“As for you…” Sean’s gaze sharpened.
Sam didn’t dare breathe, his stomach twisting with unease.
“Pay cut. Demotion. You’ll handle the termination with ZH Corporation personally, and I don’t want to see you again until it’s done,” Sean said coldly.
Relief washed over Sam. At least it was only a pay cut and a demotion, not a termination.
Bowing his head, he answered respectfully, “Understood, sir.”
Sean’s expression remained like ice. “Cancel tomorrow’s entire schedule. Take me to the airport now. I’m City.”
