Chapter 1079 No Turning Back

• His body burned with heat, and a dull throb pulsed through his head. Leaning against his bed, he opened the work attendance app on his device and promptly submitted a sick leave request. Just yesterday, Josiah had been in a great mood, granting everyone three days of paid leave. Jacob had decided to save that for a more critical moment, opting instead to navigate the hassle of applying for sick leave now.

• With Josiah working remotely for the next few days, it was only natural for everyone else to seize the opportunity to slack off.
