Chapter 143: Complicated
Secretary Ness bought dinner for Dr. CEO and relayed to him what their Madame had instructed.
’Maybe I should tell Ness to convey my darling that I’m still too busy to eat, so she will rush here to be with me then... I actually want her to be with me always.’ Xander silently thought with a despaired look. But then again, he did not want Yera to get burnt out with the work in Yang Hospital. Besides, she had already been busy the whole day in helping the teams in evacuation and transfers.
Tomorrow, she would need to prepare herself and be emotionally strong, because she would again set foot in one of her family properties for the first time after the incident.
Lost in Yera’s thoughts he was startled when Rui entered his room and found him dreaming with open eyes. "Geez Dr. CEO, I caught you spacing out again!" he scoffed and comfortably sat on the couch in Xander’s office.
"Why don’t you go home and rest. Be with your wife. We can manage here. Almost all our employees had not left from here and are still assisting every patient and will even stay until all is cleared. This is really amazing and touching to see that I’m in awe myself. You better go home and let me take all the credit myself for once as their COO, much reliable and competitive than their CEO." Rui added with twisted face as he looked at Xander’s tired face. He felt bad for his friend Xander, but also admired him, at the same time, for how well he was handling everything... as expected!
"My wife wants to make sure I eat dinner. Since you’re here might as well join me you psycho COO. Well about our employees, they greatly support me and are very loyal too so dream on COO because I’m irreplaceable..." Xander boasted with a grin as he walked towards Rui with the take-out food assistant Ness brought.
"Oh! I was about to pull you out for dinner. I guess having a wife to take care of you is really nice. Maybe I should get a wife too." Rui teased Xander while putting the food on the table.
"We are almost done with evacuation. One more wing and everything is completed. Those bomb devices were untraceable by our scanners, they are indeed a clever terrorist group, to think that our scanners are made of high end technology already." commented Rui and turned on the television to watch the news because he had received a notification on mobile phone.
"Oh God! Thankfully they located the hideout of those monsters!" burst Rui with his mouth agape as he added, "What the hell is wrong with your cousin? Are you two in a competition of who’s the most hilarious of all?" Rui could not believe how a pregnant woman, with twins in her womb, like Keira, still managed to report from such a dangerous site like that.
Xander only shrugged his shoulders and continued to eat his food as he watched Keira reporting live from the underground hideout of the terrorists.
"That mark! It’s the same!" blurted out Rui. Xander creased his forehead and saw that the terrorists did have the same mark with the one on a hoodie.
