Chapter 2 Recovery and routine

Chapter 2

As Kaiser's eyes fluttered open, he was met with the sterile smell of a hospital room. His gaze drifted upwards, and he spotted a fan spinning lazily above him. The memories of the incident came flooding back, and he realized he must have lost consciousness and been rushed to the hospital. With a surge of anxiety, Kaiser tried to sit up, his mind racing with the possibility of the incident making headlines. Fortunately, a quick scan of the news on his phone revealed that it had gone unreported.

Just as Kaiser was about to lie back down, Mr. Lee entered the room, his expression etched with concern. "Urgh I'm really sorry you had to go through that," he said, his voice laced with regret. Kaiser looked up at him, a hint of a smile on his lips. "None of this is your fault, Lee," he said, his voice low and gravelly. "You warned me, but I didn't listen." He shrugged, feigning nonchalance, but Mr. Lee knew him too well to be fooled.

Mr. Lee was more than just Kaiser's personal assistant; he was his closest friend and confidant. They had grown up together, their bond forged in the fires of adversity. Mr. Lee had been adopted by Kaiser's parents after a tragic incident involving Kaiser's younger sister, a secret known only to the family. The doctor had advised them to find a child of similar age to help Kaiser heal, and Mr. Lee had been that child. Over the years, he had grown into a loyal and trusted friend, eventually becoming Kaiser's personal assistant and managing his day-to-day activities with precision and care.

Mr. Lee continue with a warm smile on his face. "I brought your coffee, and I've taken care of all the arrangements for today's schedule," he said, setting a steaming cup on the bedside table. "It's 9:30 now, and you have a team meeting at 10:50. After that, you have a lunch date with Sophia, the daughter of the CEO of XOXIS Company. Your mother arranged the meeting, hoping you two would hit it off." Kaiser raised an eyebrow, but Mr. Lee continued, unfazed. "At 1 o'clock, you have an important meeting with the representatives from the collaborating company. We've prepared all the necessary documents and briefings. Finally, at 4 o'clock, you're scheduled to visit the orphanage home, where you'll spend some time with the children. I've made sure the car will be ready to take you there."

Kaiser nodded, his eyes locked on the schedule outlined by Mr. Lee. With a newfound sense of determination, he swung his legs over the side of the hospital bed and stood up, his movements fluid and deliberate. "I'll get ready," he said, his voice low and even. "I'll be out soon."

As he made his way to the bathroom, a sleek and modern oasis tucked away in the corner of the VIP hospital room, Mr. Lee bowed his head slightly. "I'll wait outside, Kaiser. Let me know if you need anything."

With that, Mr. Lee slipped out of the room, leaving Kaiser to prepare for the day ahead. The sound of the door closing softly behind him was a subtle reminder that Kaiser was alone, free to collect his thoughts and steel himself for the busy day that lay ahead.
