promptly asked Aidyn for a wet wipe and handed it over to Bernard “Please wipe your hands.”
“Is Mr. Laurence a germaphobe?”
Bernard was poised to take the wet wipe when he caught sight of Yeager With a brief glance in his
direction, he accepted the wipe from Hailey and proceeded to clean his
hands
“Indeed, just a bit I hope that’s alright, Dr. Yeager Bernard acknowledged, his tone courteous.
“No problem, I understand,” Yeager responded politely, gesturing for them to proceed.
“Mr. and Mrs Laurence, please come in,” he continued, his demeanor noticeably formal, creating a
slightly tense atmosphere, perhaps due to their first meeting

“Hey, Ms. Vulpe.”
He wore a casual smile, as if the previous conflict never happened.

Watching her leave, Cedric’s expression darkened
He watched her for a few seconds, then turned the steering wheel.
