In the office, Minnie was keeping Walter company as he worked, just like any other day. However, when she
spotted David's panicked entrance, she shot him a look of confusion.
Setting down the coffee she had just brewed for Walter, she could not help but ask, "Mr. Zimmer, what's with the
mad dash? You're not exactly the picture of the calm, collected assistant you're supposed to be."
Minnie's tone was laced with a hint of annoyance, and she carried herself with the authority of someone who ran
the show.
David was taken aback for a second, but he knew Minnie's real standing well enough to quickly refocus on
Walter.
Walter looked up from his mountain of paperwork. "Con, spill it. What's got you in such a frenzy? Look,
David, I'm not trying to rag on you, but you've got to get a grip. If you're always this jittery, how can | trust you
with the big stuff down the line?"
David felt a bead of sweat slide down his forehead just hearing those words. He thought to himself that if Walter
could stay composed after getting the scoop, he would really be impressed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith Minnie eavesdropping, David chose his words carefully. "Mr. Walter Gordon, my cousin dropped by
yesterday afternoon, so | had to duck out early. But here's the kicker-she's expecting, and instead of taking it
easy, she's out there roaming the hospital halls. | mean, con, what if she bumps into sshady doctor
who messes with her baby?"
Walter knew the score about David's so-called cousin.
David figured with Walter's sharp mind, he would know what David was really saying. Walter kept his cards close
to his chest, and David still could not pin down what his deal was with Evangeline. So, he played the baby card,
hoping it would get Walter's gears turning.
It did. Walter dropped the papers he was holding like they were hot, and his face went pale. "What are you
waiting for? Go find your cousin already! She's cto you for help, and you better keep her safe! Forget this
place, you go handle your business!" Minnie watched David bolt out of there, baffled.
When did David ever have a cousin? She was clueless, The whole exchange between the guys was off-the- wall,
and she had that nagging feeling that something was up. "Walter, Mr. Zimmer is racing around like that. His
cousin must mean a lot to him, huh?"
Walter gave a half-hearted nod. "Guess so. I've never seen David this wound up."
As the big boss of Gordon Group, Walter was not one to get all caught up in his employees' personal s.
Thus, his laid-back reaction was not out of the ordinary. However, Minnie's fingers then lightly swept across
Walter's forehead. "What's up? You got swork trouble? You're sweating bullets here."
Walter jerked away as if he had been zapped, scrambling for an excuse.
"What? Me, stumped by work? No way. It's just the AC in here-it's like a sauna. Go turn it down, will you?"
