OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Chapter 23: Chairman of the Board

Edward Smith stares at the smiling picture of Alice Roberts on the introduction wall, wishing to tear it down. His face is very dark.

"Welcome, Mr. Smith."

The head of the urology department who happens to walk by looks at the man in front of the introduction wall. When he comes by, the head finds that the man is the biggest investor of the hospital - Edward Smith.

Noticing that Edward Smith is staring at the picture of Alice Roberts, he gives an understanding look and says in a low voice, "Mr. Smith, Alice Roberts is an excellent urologist we have specially invited from abroad. If you need some checks, I can call her for you."

Edward Smith is very angry, but the stupid head doesn't notice it. Instead, he tells him that Alice Roberts is doing check for a VIP patient with excitement.

"Tell her to come to my office immediately!"

"Well, ok, ok."

The head is startled by Edward's howl. He looks at his dark eyes and feels a cold rising from his feet. Without any word, he sprints to the VIP ward.

________

Alice Roberts just finished the check for the middle-aged man. There are just some little problems with his urinary system. In a word, it's just caused by a sleep disorder and stress.

"Eat and rest regularly, try not to be stimulated, and you can get back to normal in a week."

As she speaks, Alice Roberts takes off her gloves and tells Julie Swift, who stands beside her, the infusion bottles the patient is going to take.

Looking at Alice Roberts' face, the middle-aged man in the bed somehow thinks of his son. If he can listen to him, how could he be in the hospital for this problem?

"Oh, Dr. Roberts, here you are."

Looking back, Alice Roberts catches the sight of the panting head and is startled. "Clinic Head," she says, "What's the matter?"

"Not me, the chairman wants to see you in the office."

"The chairman?" Alice Roberts puzzles for a moment, but still tidies up a bit. She talks to Julie Swift about the things that need to pay attention and follows the head to the chairman's office.

When they get to the door, the head knocks the door and they hear the deep voice inside the room, "Come in!"

Alice Roberts feels strange. The voice...

Alice Roberts is startled when the door opens. Staring at the dark eyes, her heart misses a beat.

Isn't he the president of SA Group? How could he be the chairman of the hospital?

"Get out." His face is dark and his voice is unhappy.

"Okay."

Alice Roberts can't wait to leave. When she is about to go out, the deep voice comes again, "Not you."

The clinic head blinks and looks at Edward's indifferent eyes. Suddenly, he feels likes a fifth wheel and then goes out, thoughtfully closing the door.

There are only two of them in the office, which gives Alice Roberts a strange sense of being watched by hunters and makes her back off.

"Come here!"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith." She smiles, anyway, she doesn't want to lose her job now.

The resistance on her face makes Edward Smith sneer coldly and walk towards her. The black suit made in Germany adds glamour to his figure, which makes him even sexier. His eyes are as charm as the night sky from which you can't see anything.

There is smell of cold and danger in this room, which chokes Alice, "Well, if there's nothing else, I have other patients, and I..."

Bang!

Edward Smith directly presses Alice Roberts on the wall. His deep eyes are fixed on her and his thin lips press to a straight line, "Alice Roberts, you've done a really good job!"

"Thank you."

Edwards Smith glares at her with eye of ice, which makes Alice regret her words. Why didn't she just bear it?

"Quit this job at once. I'll give you all the money you need."

"Mr. Smith, this is my job and also my dream." Alice Roberts sneers and meets his icy gaze, "If you want to let me leave the hospital as the chairman, there is no problem. I can find another hospital!"

She does not believe that Edward Smith can control all the hospitals in the city.

"Do you have any shame? Alice Roberts, do you need a man this much?"

Bang!

Alice Roberts slaps on his right face and looks at him very coldly, she steps back and exclaims in a calm voice, "I'm not ashamed of being a doctor. It's my profession. I should go back to work now. If you want to fire me, go ahead!"

There, Alice Roberts hurriedly pulls open the door and runs away before Edward Smith can make any response.

After running away in a panic, Alice Roberts returns to her office and gulps some water. She looks up and meets Julie Swift's surprising eyes.

"What happened, Alice? Is the chairman so scary?"

"No, I am just thirsty."

Alice doesn't want to mention that for fearing it would shock Julie Swift, and she also wants to completely forget it.

"Oh, the Dean said he would feast you and Dr. Blake this evening, so, make sure you come by then. Once in a blue moon the Dean would treat us in a high-level restaurant." Julie Swift says excitedly.

Just when Alice Roberts is about to say something, a familiar voice comes, "Alice."

Alice Roberts looks back and finds it is John Blake.

"You, why did you come back too?"

John Blake smiles gently. "You all have come back. It is so boring for me to be abroad alone."

Above all, he worries about her.

Upon hearing these words, a flash of gratitude moves in her eyes. Alice Roberts clenches her hands under the sleeve slightly; she knows John's affection for her. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

But it's been five years, she still could not accept him.

If things keep going like this, she would just stop John from chasing after his own happiness.

John Blake seems to know what she's thinking about, he strokes Alice's hair and says gently. "What are you thinking? You are just like my sister. Isn't it normal for a big brother to take care of his little sister?"

She tries to hold back tears, "Well, thank you, John."

"Let's go to the dinner together tonight."

"Well."

Standing aside, Julie Swift watches the two persons. They've already known each other before, no wonder they came into the hospital at the same time.

The hunk joined the obstetrics and gynecology department, and the beauty joined the urology.

Well...It's also unique scenery in the hospital.

After work, Alice Roberts goes to the kindergarten to pick Albert and Rebecca home first and then cooks a nutritious dinner for them. When it's about time, she lulls them to sleep and takes a taxi to the restaurant.
