“Okay. I’ll make a call to ask.”
With that, he exited with his phone in hand.
Once he left, Pei Ge turned to look at her best friend in amusement.
“You truly know how to order your boyfriend around. Actually, I can just cook my chicken soup, so there’s no need to hire someone especially.”
She felt a little sheepish as she had already troubled them in many areas.
Despite being best friends since they were young, there was ultimately still an outsider here.
“Ge Ge, you can’t say that! Who are we? You should just take it easy and mind recuperating. That way, you can safely give birth to the baby!”
Tang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at her.
“Mhm, but first, I must inform Prof. William.”
Her best friend’s words had warmed her heart. Having been hurt and traumatized by the series of unfortunate things that had happened to her recently, she was finally able to dispel the bitterness inside her.
Probably due to her change of environment, despite the uneasiness she felt inside, she was somehow looking forward... to a fresh start.
“Alright. Wait a while; I’ll go grab a phone for you.”
With that, her best friend jogged out of the room.
Pei Ge’s face was all smiles as she watched her best friend rush out.
“Baby, you must hang on as mommy will also strive on for you...”
...
“Cyriel, you’re here.”
Antiquated, retro-style furnishings, and wooden furniture—everything in this room looked elegant and noble.
The moment one stepped inside, they would feel as if they were in a mid-century castle and would be unable to help but think of the term ‘gentleman of the nobility’.
The doctor looked at the man sitting on a retro-leather sofa reading a book and could not help sighing inside.
His employer was of mixed blood, but he did not seem like one. If one did not look closely, he would definitely appear to be just like any other local Chinese.
However, whenever he faced this employer, he would always forget that the latter had Asian descent.
Rather, he would consider him as an English noble of mid-century.
Of course, this gentleman did not seem to be born in England.
“Mr. Egger.”
He walked to the man and stopped beside him. Seeing that the man, with his head lowered, was reading a book in Greek, he slightly raised an eyebrow.
“I wonder when did sir become interested in Greek?”
“Ha ha... I was just casually looking through it.”
With that, the man put down the book in his hand and then casually crossed his legs.
“You just returned from Gu Zhengrong’s place, I take it?”
“Yes.”
“Is his girlfriend sick?”
Although the man was asking a question, the doctor could see that he was merely doing so casually.
“No, the patient isn’t Mr. Gu’s girlfriend; she seems to be a friend of his girlfriend.”
“Oh? That guy must love his girlfriend a lot.”
The doctor seemed to recall something and raised an eyebrow jokingly. “Actually, I think that he cares for that Miss Pei a little too much.”
“Miss Pei...” When he mentioned that surname, his previously uninterested boss suddenly frowned. He turned his dark eyes, which were glinting with blue light, onto Cyriel. “Is that the patient’s surname?”
“Yes.”
“What’s her first name, then?”
The doctor’s eyebrows moved slightly at the man’s sudden agitation.
“I didn’t ask.”
“What does she look like? Is she tall, skinny, and very pretty?”
“Er... That lady doesn’t seem to be very tall or skinny. From a medical standpoint, her weight is on the heavier side.”
He looked at his boss with a sliver of confusion. “Also, our sense of beauty is different from the Chinese. In my eyes, she’s actually quite pretty. While she seems to be slightly overweight, I find her chubbiness cute.”
“...Oh.” Not her, then.
The doctor’s description caused the man’s face to dim.
It’s just a similar surname. Why am I... this agitated?
How could she possibly be in New York...
The man’s look of disappointment caused the doctor to pay more attention to this patient with the surname Pei.
“Sir, am I still required to return to Mr. Gu’s place for a re-checkup of his girlfriend’s friend?”
Actually, he was quite fond of his patient this time.
That was because he saw a strong and firm motherly quality in her.
This motherly quality had touched him.
If allowed, he wanted to continue taking care of her health.
“That’s fine.”
He let out a sigh of relief when he got the man’s approval.
Seemingly fearing that his boss would go back on his words, he did not continue discussing the matter about the patient and Gu Zhengrong but asked his boss regarding his reason for calling him here, instead.
...
China’s capital.
“I want to meet Ji Ziming! Let me in! I want to see your CEO!”
“My apologies, miss. You can’t go in.”
“Let me in! If I don’t see him right this instant, my mom will have to go to jail!”
“My apologies, miss. We truly can’t let you in.”
No one dared to stop in their tracks to look at the farce playing out in front of the Ji Group’s entrance.
As though they did not see the woman in the lobby making a ruckus and crying, they walked away and busied themselves with their tasks without a glance at her.
“Let me go! Let me go! Ahhhh!”
Upon seeing the woman being thrown out by the security, a few curious ladies still started discussing softly.
“Who is that woman just then?”
“Seems to be the cousin of our CEO’s ex-fiancée...”
“I heard that... after our big boss’s former fiancée’s adultery was revealed, she upped and disappeared; is that true?”
“Tsk! How was that possible? It’s clearly our CEO who threw that shameless woman away!”
“Is it? Actually, I think so, too. That woman can’t match up to our CEO at all...”
The two female employees were in the middle of scolding Pei Ge for not counting her fortunes when they felt the air around them turn chilly.
“Sss... How cold.”
“Yeah—ahh!”
The two rubbed their arms as they raised their heads, only to spot a tall figure standing near them expressionlessly.
“C-CEO Ji?!”
“Inform the HR to fire these two.”
