Chapter 222: Skin To Skin
The party went well though Yera and Xander had been the center of attraction for the night. Everyone was wondering if the two were having a good relationship or in a relationship already. Among the guests was also Mr. Lua who was one of the shareholders and board of directors at the Life Hospitals group.
He was not pleased with how close their Chairwoman was with the CEO of Yang Globals group who was also the heir of the said group. It could be a huge problem if those two would have a good relationship and the worst part was a possible merger of the two companies, because if that happened, it would affect all his hidden plans that had been baking in the oven for so many years.
He looked for Lyndon and cursed seeing the latter walk out of the party just like that. Lyndon was becoming useless ever since Yera appeared in the hospital as Dr. Deyna Song and he was too disappointed. He thought Lyndon could take over soon and then it would be easier for him to kick Lyndon away afterwards because he had something up his sleeves that could bring Lyndon down in a flash.
He looked at Dr. Dwayne and signaled the latter to follow Lyndon. Then he looked at Yera who was with Xander. He shook his head and sniggered as he wondered how long could the woman’s luck last. ’After that long thorny journey, look how strong and tall your granddaughter is standing, Luke...’ Mr. Lua mused with an arched brow before drinking his shots.
His mobile phone rang and he smiled seeing it was his granddaughter Cali. Knowing that Yera had a brother having his beautiful granddaughter back in their country could be put up to some good use.
Meanwhile, Xander was so attentive to his wife that he did not bother about his image in anyone’s eyes, he kept on fawning over her the whole time. His suit was still hanging on Yera, covering her bare shoulders.
After a few more minutes, Xander signalled Ron for a sneak exit. "Darling, let’s go home..." Xander mumbled because he was not comfortable with his wife’s revealing outfit, he couldn’t tolerate the feeling that another man had that opportunity to see his gem.
Yera was honestly tired too and would rather go home than stay at the party. Xander whispered to her where she should walk to secretly get inside his car so she obliged. Before Yera went out, she took her time to bid farewell to those she knew.
"Chairwoman, I thought you would not come but it’s nice to see you here. I’m hoping that the reopening of Yang Globals’ head hospital will not cause harm to our group... especially now that almost all their patients have transferred to us." whispered Mr. Lua who managed to get a hold of Yera before she reached the exit door.
