Chapter 280: A Track
At Life Hospital
Days passed by fast and Dion worked harder to prove himself as the new appointed CEO while Yera had been busy with her routine of specialised surgeries.
"Sis, you have a craniectomy later right? Can I be your assistant?" Dion asked as he visited his sister’s clinic. Yea smiled and nodded. "Tell Shaira and Dr. Xiao about it... Dr. Xiao will surely be happy in slacking off. You just saved his butt but ask him first..." Yera simply said.
"What are you eating?" Dion asked when he smelled something fishy. Yera laughed and said, "Oh shrimp paste... and green mangoes... You want? It’s good."
"For real? Eww isn’t that sour?" Dion commented with a twisted face. Yera only laughed and continued with eating. "By the way, are you sure Rizie is okay with what’s going on with you and Cali? I mean you both are very popular as a couple and the gossip market about you and Cali is very hot in the hospital." Yera suddenly recalled she had to ask her brother. She and Xander were so awkward during the last meal they had with them together with Rizie’s family.
Dion let out a long sigh and said, "She herself is the one planning everything about me and Cali, sis. I tried to stop her and said there’s no need for this but it seems she has decided to join hands with Cali in this since Cali is very confident that this is the best way to get everything back from her grandfather. Cali said I have to attach my name with her’s in public’s eyes and pretend nicely because her grandfather is dying to get me to his side... If I’ll be able to get his trust, I can soon get more shares from him."
"Nah... That old man is a cunning fox. He will only sell shares when you marry his granddaughter so stop this nonsense before it gets out of hand... Moreover, I don’t like this idea at all. I too will talk to Rizie about it..." Yera scoffed. She was not comfortable with this plan since it started.
"Yes sis, please talk to Rizie and convince her because I really did try my best. She’s handling my entire schedule as she wishes and even puts me on the spot. Geez, I’m a doctor not a poker actor and that Mr. Lua is really getting on my nerves now, so much so that even a poker smile takes me a long time to perfect in front of him." Dion pleaded. Just the sight of Cali’s grandfather wanted him to puke but he had to treat him well because reality was that it was the need of the moment.
While Dion was speaking his heart out, Yera’s mobile phone rang and he saw it was Xander calling her. After the call ended Dion commented, "It’s nice that you two can go out together whenever you want." They both were going to have lunch together and had been open with their relationship and did not mind the eyes of others at all now.
