Chapter 46 James

Michael's facial expression immediately changed when he heard James' tone which was not as polite as usual, even the man only called his name, no like usual when he call him Mr. Michael or sir.

It seemed that James had also noticed the change in expression on Michael's face.

"I'll say this as your friend," said James, still in his previous tone.

Michael's brow furrowed when he heard that.

Friend? Wasn't James his secretary? Why did the man say he was a friend? Are they close like a friend? Or he was his friend before James became his secretary?

Michael himself is not a man who is picky to make friends, especially to the point of not wanting to be friends because that person has a different status with him.

But for some reason, hearing James say he was his friend, it felt very familiar.

"You've been acting weird lately. It doesn't sound like you. Shall we go to the hospital? I'm worried about you," James continued in a tone that sounded worried.

He could still understand when Michael forgot other people's faces, or forgot about his job or his schedule.

But how could Michael ask if he was married or not? Isn't that something weird?

"I told you I'm fine," Michael replied firmly.

"Michael!" said James snapped a little, his expression looked annoyed.

"What you think… ah."

Michael did not continue his words that wanted to rebuke James because the man had crossed the line.

How could the secretary try to yell at him like that?

However, he couldn't finish his words when suddenly his head hurt badly. It felt like someone had stabbed him in the head. His right hand reflexively grabbed his head and he groan in pain

It hurts so much.

James' eyes widened at the sight.

"Michael!" said James frantically looking at Michael who was in pain like that.

James's panic only grew when Michael suddenly fell on the table and fell unconscious.

***

"Michael, let me introduce you, this is James. As you said, I'm looking for a male secretary!" said one of the men introducing James who had just entered.

"I still think we should be looking for a female secretary, though, we only have men in this company! '' continued the man with a tone of pretending to complain.

Michael just chuckled at the complaint then turned to the man who had just entered!"

"Thank you for accepting me, sir. I will work hard!" answered James excitedly.

"Hey James, aren't you going home?" Michael asked when he saw James still at his desk.

"Ah! I'll be done in a minute. You can go home first, sir!" James replied then turned back to the monitor screen in front of him and continued his work.

"Hey! Why are you always being so stiff? We've been working for six months. That means we're already friends! Stop being so stiff!" said Michael and drank whiskey in front of him.

"That..." James looked doubtful. He had great respect for Michael as the person who had hired him, how could he be so casual?

"Hey! Don't be so stiff like that! You can't have friends and girlfriends later! Anyway from now on! We are friends!" Michael replied with a big smile.

"James! Starting tomorrow I will lead Collins. I want you to take care and look for McGames, but I need you to be my secretary. Please take care of me once again!"

***

Michael slowly opened his eyes, the pain in his head had lessened a bit.

He then looked around and found that he was currently lying on the sofa in his room.

"Yes! Please come quickly and don't let anyone else find out!"

Michael's eyes turned towards the voice. He could see that James was standing not far from where he was and looked like he was making a phone call.

The expression on the man's face looked very worried.

"James," Michael called and tried to sit up, but he wobbled a little.

Hearing Michael's voice, James immediately turned and turned off the phone call, then immediately rushed over to Michael.

"Are you okay? You worry me!" said James, heaving a sigh of relief.

Michael didn't answer right away and just stood up and walked over to James and hugged him tightly.

"James!" Michael said with relief.

James' facial expression immediately turned to disgust when suddenly Michael hugged him like that and immediately pushed him hard, making Michael immediately sit back on the sofa.

"You're getting really weird, Michael! I called the doctor, he'll be here in a minute!" said James with an annoyed expression on his face.

Hearing that, Michael actually laughed.

"You really have changed. I'm happy," Michael replied with a big smile.

Didn't expect that James, who used to look stiff, had now become like this.

Yes! Even though Michael couldn't remember everything clearly. He suddenly remembered James!

The person who became his secretary at the startup company that was formed by him, until finally becoming the secretary brought in by him when he was appointed CEO of Collins.

James just looked at Michael with a strange expression before finally someone knocked on Michael's door and a middle-aged man walked in.

"Doctor!" said James breathed a sigh of relief.

"Doctor?" Michael muttered as he saw a complete stranger he had never met before.

"What happened?" asked the old man in bewilderment.

James had sounded so panicked that it looked as if there was an emergency, but there didn't seem to be any emergency patients in the room.

Michael looks fine too.

"Could you check on Michael's condition… "

"I'm fine!" said Michael irritably. Didn't expect James to call a doctor for him.

"You're not fine!" snapped James fiercely.

James then explained that Michael looked in pain while holding his head and then suddenly fell unconscious.

The old man then immediately sat down next to Michael and began to do his examination and some questions.

After the examination, the doctor said that Michael might just be stressed and gave him a prescription for medicine.

James shook his head, feeling that Michael's condition was worse than that, but Michael looked like he was hiding something and didn't want to tell the doctor.

He decided not to say anything and led the doctor to the door then thanking him before turning back to Michael.

"So what is it? What exactly happened? Do you have a serious illness?" James asked irritably, and put his hands on his waist.

Michael just kept quiet, still finding it amusing at James' change in attitude.

He felt proud that James, who was once stiff, had turned out to be such a talkative one.

Somehow he felt like a father watching his son grow well.

"Michael!" called James when he saw Michael just silent.

James took a deep breath to calm himself then lowered his hands from his waist.

At least this Michael was a little more familiar. Michael who didn't listen.

"You should tell me if it turns out you have a serious illness, Michael. Or at least go to the hospital and get checked," James said quietly.

Michael sighed.

"Actually, I have amnesia," Michael answered quietly.

Now that he remembered that James was both a friend and someone he could trust, Michael decided to tell him.

"What?" asked James with wide eyes and open mouth.

Didn't expect to hear that from Michael.

"Wait a minute! This is no time for jokes," said James disbelievingly and thought Michael was joking.

"Ahh, now it all makes sense," continued James when he noticed Michael's strange behavior for the last few days.

Michael just smiled when he saw the expression of James who currently believed in him.

Michael then told the accident that happened to him, he was said to have amnesia and his father asked him not to tell anyone in the office about his amnesia.

"Is it okay for you to tell me this?" James asked, suddenly doubting.

Michael waved his hand.

"You are my friend and the person I trust. I'm sure you won't tell anyone," Michael answered confidently.

James nodded when he heard that. As someone who had worked with Michael for about five years, he had always been able to keep Michael's secret.

It's just that sometimes James still feels very awkward.

"So you suddenly remembered me? But why?" James asked confusedly.

Michael fell silent when he heard that.

"I don't know either, I suddenly remembered you. Not all of them though," Michael answered honestly.

Suddenly his head hurt and he remembered James. It just happened.

"I see, but as far as I know amnesia has no cure," James muttered.

Michael nodded.

"Yeah, that's why since you already know about this, please help me not to get caught," said Michael smiling with relief.

At least someone in the office knows what's going on, and can help her from now on.

James nodded. That is for sure.

"But I'm glad you can remember me. At least you're slowly getting better."

Michael nodded at that. Nor did he expect that he had getting better.

Wait a minute! Getting better?
