A few days passed, about three days after she met Cassius and also after Kendrick returned to replace Ephraim, who he thought was irresponsible and not capable enough to look after her.
The room where she is being treated has now also been converted into Kendrick's temporary office. People often pass by and come in to report to him — he and his secretary are busy working on a pile of work, while she is bored to death from always curling up in the same routine and reading now seems like it's like food for her.
Several new books purchased by Kendrick's men are now neatly stored on the bedside table, along with dessert and also fresh fruit that has been cut into several pieces. He is very strict and does not allow her to come out because the situation is still quite precarious.
