However, she didn't have the mood or time to argue with Isla here. She glanced at the time and walked
over to Ricardo's bedside, starting to remove the needles.
After removing all of the thin and long silver needles from Ricardo's head, she put away the needles.
She said to Franklin, "He may wake up in about ten minutes."
Franklin nodded his head and gave a cold glare towards Isla, who was disgusting and annoying.
He used to think that her computer skills were excellent when she was one of the top candidates for
employment.
However, he did not expect her arrogance and conceit now. She completely disregarded Sylvia.
But Isla had not made any fundamental mistakes yet; MI6 would not be so ruthless as to eliminate
someone who had contributed for several years just because of personal issues.
He suppressed his displeasure towards Isla. "Isla, have you finished everything in the technical
department? You actually have time to waste here."
"Master Franklin, Ricardo will wake up in a few minutes. I want to wait until he wakes up before I go
back," said Isla.
Isla wasn't stupid; she naturally heard Franklin trying to get rid of her. But the more he repelled her like
this, the more she wanted to stay here. The more she didn't want Sylvia to stay alone with him.
She was extremely jealous and bitter.
Her eyes were filled with pleading as she said, "Let me see Ricardo safely awaken before leaving."
If someone didn't know better, they would think that they had a deep friendship.
Upon hearing this statement from Isla, Franklin became annoyed inside. "Do what you want."
Logan also noticed Isla's hostility towards Sylvia, so he leaned over next Sylvia, asking, "Boss, when
are you going back to Larro?"
"In a few more days," replied Sylvia as she put away her phone. Since Cody's case hadn't progressed
yet, she couldn't leave Urgford right now .
Just then after about ten minutes passed by, Ricardo still lay quietly on his hospital bed without any
signs of waking up.
Everyone waited silently without making any noise.
Isla couldn't hold it anymore, she spoke first, "Miss Andrews, could it be possible that your diagnosis is
wrong? Why hasn't Ricardo woken up yet?"
"Or is it possible... that you simply don't know how to give acupuncture properly?"
"How could someone as young as you possibly know how give acupuncture?"
Logan was irritated by what Isla said. "You bitch! Can't you keep your mouth shut? You've been
chattering all day long, and now dare question my boss' abilities."
Isla had never been treated so rudely by a man before, and she was completely stunned. She stared at
Logan in disbelief.novelbin
"You... you're a big CEO, how can you be so vulgar? You..."
It completely overturned her perception of the Longevity Pharmaceuticals' CEO.
She looked a little depressed at Franklin and asked, "Master... how could he treat me like this?"
Franklin sneered, "Isla, Mr. Mertens is being too kind to you. I would rather have Jasper throw you out."
Isla felt as if she had been struck by lightning and looked heartbroken with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Master... I've still worked here for so long. Do you have to treat me like this just because of her?"
"She's the head of MI6," Franklin's voice was full of endless coldness. "You questioned the head of MI6
just now; you know what punishment you'll receive. Go back and receive your punishment."
Isla bit her lip uncomfortably with tears but no one present seemed to care about her.
Just then, Ricardo coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention towards him.
He sat up slowly holding onto the edge of his bed.
After his vision cleared up, Ricardo smiled at Sylvia, saying, "That was great! For years now I've never
felt as relaxed as today! My head feels especially comfortable."
Franklin visibly relaxed upon hearing that statement.
"Glad it worked out for you, Ricardo; seems like acupuncture has its benefits."
"I'll come tomorrow again for another treatment." Sylvia nodded, then pointed towards some medicine
on the bedside table, "Just follow instructions on these pills; they're effective medicine that will benefit
your body"
"Thank you!" Ricardo laughed, feeling grateful.
After exchanging pleasantries with each other, they left an attendant nurse behind to look after Ricardo
while Sylvia walked out alongside Franklin followed by Logan and Jasper.
Isla was left alone without anyone caring about her. She had no choice but to catch up with them in
frustration.
Ricardo watched Isla's retreating figure, squinting slightly. He felt that Isla would cause more trouble
anytime soon.
