章 57: 57 - Problem

The next day, the puppies, with the addition of the kitten, threw a fit again the moment Ren tried to leave for work.

Pax, who had just been introduced to Snow, was flabbergasted.

"Are you sure you're feeling all right?" he asked Ren worriedly. "Dogs and cats are much more sensitive than people, and it is unusual for them to act like this."

Ren shrugged. "Fang even dragged me to Dr. Gordon yesterday," he grumbled. "Even if you guys won't believe me, you should at least trust his diagnosis, right?"

Pax frowned. "Dr. Gordon said it's fatigue and that you should rest. Why don't you take a couple of days off and catch up on your sleep at home? I'll call you if there's anything urgent or needs your attention."

Ren shook his head ruefully. "You know we can't afford to do that right now. We need to finish those two deals this week, and we won't be able to unless I'm in office myself."

Pax sighed. Ren was right.
