Is there a problem with assigning you there to help ? " My own voice followed : " Free ? In these three days , six of my scheduled healing sessions were cancelled without reason . There aren't many senior healers in our department . With your scheduling arrangements , how can other healers get proper rest ? " The rest room fell into dead silence . Every word was captured perfectly , exposing the complete truth . Sophia's face turned ugly as she realized she had been outmaneuvered again . Her carefully laid trap had backfired spectacularly . Senior William's face became as hard and foul as a stone in a latrine . His mouth opened and closed like a fish gasping for air. I calmly put away my phone and looked at both of them .
