nurse didn’t give him any information he didn’t already have. She offered condolences; he promised a severance package so she could take her time finding another position. She bowed slightly when he dismissed her.

      “Wait,” he said. “How long have you been with my grandmother?”

      She turned back, expression brightening the way most of his employees did when he gave them the opportunity to prove their value to him.

      “Almost twenty years, sir.”

      “You’ve known Luli since she came here? How long has she been working here in my grandmother’s office?”

      “From the beginning, sir.”

      “That was my grandmother’s idea? Was she competent? My grandmother, I mean. Mentally.”

      “Oh, completely, sir! But Mrs. Chen never cared for telephones or computers.” Her hand washed such things from the air. “She thought them unhealthy and brought Luli in as a convenience. Luli spoke Spanish and your grandmother had recently acquired properties in South America.”

      “Luli was quite young when she arrived? What was she like?” Scared? Angry?

      “Quiet.” The nurse’s expression faltered as she delved into her memory.

      “Because she only spoke Spanish?” He seldom thought about his teen years, but recalled adolescent girls traveling in colorful flocks and relentlessly twittering at each other. No matter what the truth was today, Luli must have felt isolated at the time.

      “She spoke a little English, but it was the patch that was the problem. I had to remove it from her tongue. I had completely forgotten about that,” the nurse said with a distant frown.

      “What kind of patch?” he asked sharply.

      “For weight loss. It makes it painful to eat solids. She was already stick thin, but young women will do the stupidest things to themselves in the name of fashion. Mrs. Chen saved her from herself, if you want my opinion.”
