Chapter 129: Familiar
But her face was devoid of any expression as she looked at him, ’’Dr. Qin, there is a patient outside. I have checked his old medical records it looks like he has a non-cancerous tumor....’’
’’And what has it got to do with me?" Alex Qin twirled his cigarette between his fingers as he checked the time on his watch.
’’It was an emergency so I brought him here with me,’’ Veronica gulped, understanding that he was insinuating that his working hours were over.
’’Brought the patient here?" Alex arched a brow at her.
’’He was Dr. Warner’s patient...’’ but his secretary was not capable enough to deal with him.
She had yet to finish her sentence when the man said, ’’Oh?" The distaste on his face at the mention of Maxim was pretty apparent, ’’So, that incapable man couldn’t handle this case and so he abandoned his leftovers to me? For what?’’ His eyes narrowed.
’’No, actually...’’ Veronica hesitated. She had wanted to shoot that arrow at Diana and spread rumors about how inefficient she is but she did not realize that she would get Maxim’s name dragged into the mud.
It was not a secret that Alex hated Maxim.
’’Shh. If he wants me to take over this complicated case, then invite him over to beg me while he screams how incapable he is. I would let my grandfather witness it so that he can see the kind of person he favors,’’ With that said, the man took a whiff from his cigarette and walked out.
Veronica followed him to clarify that it was not some complicated case that Maxim could not handle but in the end, she changed her mind. Alex was a capricious man, a great neurosurgeon but a moody one, and to top it off, the Director was his grandfather.
She did not want to provoke him and be fired over a small matter like this. There would be more opportunities to get rid of Diana.
