End of things between Alex and Margaret

Chapter - 98

"Hi, Daniel?"

"Yes, Alex... Daniel, it is," Daniel enthusiastically replied, "Tell me. To what do I owe the pleasure of this call in the morning?" Daniel sounded pleasant to talk with Alex.

After Martha left, the first thing Alex did was to call Daniel, "Well, the thing is, I am thinking of not coming to work today. I..." Alex told Daniel, but before he could complete his sentence, Daniel interrupted.

On the other hand, as soon as these words left Alex's mouth, Daniel grew a bit anxious. He interrupted Alex, "Is everything alright? Are you sick or something?" Daniel asked, concerned about Alex, but it was the piling work he was more concerned about. If the one sent to help him can't be of any help, what was even the use of asking Karen anyway?
