Chapter 1: The Witch Doctor
"That Xander Yang! How dare he build his hospital in that area! How did he even manage to get that land from the old lady, anyway?" Yera barked at her secretary.
She had been dying to get that piece of land. But the old lady who owned it had been refusing to sell, even though she had approached her with multiple lucrative offers.
The Yangs were the owners of the Yang Global Hospitals. They were also her family’s longtime rival. She had just found out that Old Master Yang, the Chairman of the Yang Global Hospitals, had recently appointed his firstborn son to be the new Chief Executive Officer of their group.
She had never met Xander Yang in person, but she had already heard so much about him. He was quite a well-known figure to most; not for his achievements in the healthcare industry, but more for his stellar reputation of being a womanizer.
As the rumors said, he was known to swap his girlfriends as often as he changed his socks.
"Don’t tell me he has already added that old lady to his list of conquest!?" Yera sneered with a tightness in her voice.
Shan gulped. She was hesitant to say something or anything at all because her boss really had a bad temper. She might have looked youthful and innocent on the outside because of her pretty baby-faced look, but behind that facade, she was actually a scary monster.
Yes, she was Yera Han, who was widely known as the ’Witch Doctor’ who had saved hundreds of lives. They called her by that nickname because it was said that she could conjure magic to heal any patients whom she was in charge of.
But those who had interacted with her directly had drawn their own conclusion. They firmly believed that the nickname was created because of her being a total witch to everyone around her.
Yera looked at Shan impatiently. She was obviously waiting for an answer from her secretary.
Shan cleared her throat and said, "Ma’am, from what I heard, Mr. Xander Yang is someone with a silver-tongue. He can be quite the sweet-talker. The old lady was moved by his way of words, and hence was easily persuaded."
