Lisa pressed her lips tighter. Clearly trying very hard not to laugh. "Ma'am, Jimmy is… taking precautions."
"For what? In case I sprain my ankle?" Evelyn said carelessly.
"Well…" Lisa silently gulped, "just in case anything happens."
Evelyn can't help but laugh. She glanced again at the car creeping behind them. She could only shake her head when she saw Jimmy give a thumbs-up as if his presence was completely normal.
"This is ridiculous," she muttered. "At this point, Axel might as well cancel his work and join us instead."
"Boss Axel is… concerned, Ma'am."
"Concerned about what? The path is safe. The cabin is ours. There are guards everywhere."
Lisa hesitated. Her eyes shifted forward, then back to Evelyn, unsure whether to speak.
Evelyn caught it instantly. "Lisa. Spill it."
"I… I cannot say everything. But the boss is worried you may not feel well."
"Oh come on, Lisa... You know, I'm perfectly fine."
"Yes, Ma'am."
