Chapter 37 - Full Access To Your Power (1/2)
Yera was in a profound thought, as she read the email she received from Shan, her former secretary, who was still working at the Life Hospitals group, which was now under Lyndon Chu's management.
A dinner invitation from Lyndon Chu…
It was as she and Xander had foreseen. Life Hospitals group had started to make their move to poach her after she had succeeded in making a name as one of the best surgeons at Yang Hospital. It was sooner than she expected, though.
Lyndon Chu... She had nothing against the man who had treated her well during their engagement. However, he was still one of the people she suspected to be behind her family's tragedy, and therefore, she should be careful…
She sighed. Xander had been the one who monitored and arranged everything for her case. But this time, she personally wanted to be in charge of getting her own justice, especially for her grandfather. She wanted full access to everything...
Yera messaged Xander to ask where he was because she wanted to talk to him about the investigation he was conducting. She wanted to be thoroughly involved and to exercise full authority over the probe, and that meant she would need Xander's power, which he promised she could have.
Her mobile phone rang just seconds after she had pressed the send button. It was Xander.
”Why call? You could have just messaged me once you are back in your office,” Yera dead-panned.
”Hmm… I called because I missed your voice. I'm going back to the office now. You can wait there,” Xander announced excitedly before he ended the call.
Yera stood up from her seat in the staff lounge with a twisted face. As the days went by, Xander's shamelessness was getting worse.
She could still remember the night when he kissed her passionately vividly. She initially thought it was his sleeping disorder, but to her horror, it was not. He had clearly remembered the kiss when he used it to threaten her if she ever changed his name back to 'The Clown' on her phone.
The man's shamelessness was really out of this world! She had no energy to argue, so she just let him save his name as 'My Darling' on her phone. Also, to be honest, it was mostly because she was threatened by that kiss.
Yera frowned when she recalled how responsive her body was to even his slightest touch that night. It was as if she did not know her own body anymore.
She was preoccupied with all these thoughts on her way to Xander's office when Dr. Yao approached her. Yera was startled when she heard Dr. Yao's greeting. ”Dr. Song, good morning…”
Yera smiled at her. Dr. Yao had come to her recently because she needed to consult Yera regarding a surgical procedure for her patient. During their interactions, Dr. Yao had always been friendly.
”Morning, Dr. Yao,” Yera greeted back before she continued walking towards Xander's office.
Secretary Ness smiled at her at the reception area and offered her a drink. Yera asked for a cup of tea and entered Xander's Office directly.
Xander arrived not long after. He sat on the couch beside Yera as he smiled at her with those sparkling eyes.
”What's up?” Xander asked.
Yera sighed and started, ”Lyndon's office just contacted me… I want to handle everything myself…”
Xander creased his forehead…
Yera looked at him straight and said, ”I want full access to everything that is yours, especially your security team…”
”You have full access to them,” Xander replied as he accepted the cups of tea that Secretary Ness handed to them.
Then Xander instructed Secretary Ness, ”No one should disturb us. If anyone asks, I'm in an important meeting.”
