Chapter 23: A Hard Time
Yera was about to walk out of Xander’s office with Dr. Gong to head toward the Surgery Department. Dr. Gong was going to introduce Yera to everyone in the surgical team. Xander was about to follow them, but Yera stopped him.
"Why would the CEO come to introduce me? Do you want people to get suspicious? I want to be recognized for my own capabilities and not be labeled as someone who got in because of a big fortress on my back," Yera scolded him. Dr. Gong couldn’t help but grin but quickly dismissed it when Xander threw him a glare.
"Alright. Go then, you two..." Xander conceded as he gestured for the two to leave his office.
After an hour of waiting, Xander put on his lab coat and roamed around the hospital to check on patients. But in all actuality, he was just curious to see what and how Yera was doing.
"When will Rui arrive?" Xander asked assistant Ron, who was walking behind him together with his secretary.
"Sir, he will arrive anytime today. He said he’ll call or visit you directly..." answered assistant Ron.
"Tsk... How dare he leave on vacation without my permission," Xander scoffed. He was in a profound dilemma and would need Rui’s psychiatric expertise to help him because Rui was the only doctor who knew about his condition at the hospital.
"What about the renovation progress of Yera’s personal office?" Xander asked.
"It is still ongoing, Sir..." answered secretary Ness. Xander nodded. Of course, he would give his wife her own office, where she could rest, although she insisted on using the staff’s regular on-call room.
