As soon as this word erged, Chloe Simpson seed to be instantly provoked, her body tensed up.
At the sa ti, the magnetic and seductive voice of Alexander Johnson on their wedding night repeatedly echoed in her ears, so clear.
Clearly, she was drunk that night, her consciousness blurred.
But at this mont, the dim lights, the enticing posture, and even every heavy breath of Alexander Johnson were as vivid as if it had just happened.
Her heart raced, and her body reacted.
No, she couldn't let this happen!
"Mm!"
Chloe Simpson pinched her thigh hard, forcing herself to calm down.
Just as she was about to lose composure, fortunately, Alexander Johnson's phone rang.
Alexander Johnson picked up the call, responded briefly, then turned and left in a hurry.
Only then did Chloe Simpson cover her chest and let out a long breath.
Wait, did Alexander Johnson just say sothing?
Investnt?
Chloe Simpson's heart tightened, suddenly recalling Alexander Johnson's status as an investor.
Oh no!
Chloe Simpson turned and dashed toward the reception room.
At this ti, everyone from the hospital was in the reception room waiting to welco the investors, even the director might be there.
If she were late...
Despite using her fastest speed, Chloe was still late when she arrived at the reception room.
In her haste, she rushed in and pushed the door open.
Instantly, all attention turned to her.
The nurses from various departnts, doctors, the director who was shaking hands with Alexander Johnson, and Lucas Hughes all focused on Chloe Simpson.
Seeing the director's furious gaze, Chloe knew she was in deep trouble.
So nervous that even her toes clutched tightly, she didn't know what to do.
"This is a new nurse at our hospital, a bit clumsy, I apologize, Young Mister Johnson."
The director had to quickly smooth things over to please and couldn't let the atmosphere turn cold.
"Chloe Simpson, why are you standing there? Hurry over."
After saying that, he ordered Chloe to join the group of nurses. His words were kind, but everyone knew Chloe would certainly be harshly criticized afterward.
After all, this was a key investor, and if anything ssed up the investnt, the consequences would be substantial.
"..."
Chloe dared not speak another word, keeping her head down, she jogged towards the group of nurses, almost burying her head into her neck.
Alexander Johnson cast a faint glance at Lucas Hughes in the crowd, suddenly chuckling lightly, "Wait, so it's Nurse Simpson, no wonder she's so professional at serving."
"!"
Chloe's whole body trembled, her steps ca to an abrupt halt.
Just that light sentence once again made her the center of attention.
The words "serving" combined with Alexander Johnson's jealous expression was undoubtedly a heavy bomb, exploding among the doctors and nurses in the hospital.
"Hey... does Chloe Simpson know Young Mister Johnson?"
"Heh, it seems like more than knowing each other."
"No way, Chloe Simpson just got married to Dr. Hughes."
"So what if they were newlywed, in front of them is the Young Master of the Capital Circle, how tempting!"
For a mont, everyone was buzzing with discussions.
"Young Mister Johnson knows Simpson?"
The director took this mont to shift his stance, no longer looking ready to eat soone, hoping to leverage Chloe to please Alexander Johnson.
His words were like a nuclear explosion rushing straight at Chloe.
Her blood froze, slowly lifting her head, eyes full of plea directed at Alexander Johnson.
Lucas Hughes stood amidst the crowd, his tightly clenched fist cracking audibly.
"Of course, more than just knowing."
Alexander Johnson raised his eyebrows carelessly, completely ignoring Chloe's pleading gaze.
He spoke so lightly!
But for Chloe, it was like a hamr, hitting her with a 'bang'.
Her heart shattered instantly!
What does Alexander Johnson want?
Does he want to ruin her? To make her never lift her head and completely unfit to continue working?
Why is he treating her this way?
To punish her for sneaking away while he was still asleep after their wedding night frenzy?
He clearly doesn't lack won, why is he holding onto her?
She is just a small nurse in a hospital, an ordinary person!
Not like him, the exalted Young Master of the Johnson Family.
His actions are tantamount to forcing her work and life to a dead end.
"..."
Chloe stood there just staring at Alexander Johnson, her eyes red as if blood could drip out.
Alexander Johnson wasn't far from her and clearly saw the loneliness, helplessness, and fear deep in her eyes.
For a mont, it felt like sothing pricked his heart.
"Oh? Really? I didn't know, Young Mister Johnson and Chloe have such a connection."
Until the director's voice ca to his ears, Alexander Johnson withdrew his gaze."Yes, that ti I accidentally got injured, if not for coincidentally eting Nurse Simpson and receiving effective treatnt, I might have lost the use of my entire hand."
He nodded, effortlessly glossing over everything that had just happened.
"!"
Chloe was shocked, suddenly lifting her head to look at Alexander Johnson.
Was he explaining things for her?
She really couldn't figure out this man.
One mont, it seed like he wanted to push her into the abyss, the next he seed to want to elevate her to paradise.
"Oh, so that's how it is. That's not surprising at all, Chloe herself is the head nurse of the ergency clinic, her professional skills are excellent, especially in handling such ergencies."
"Of course, all other nurses and doctors in our hospital are also very professional. Young Mister Johnson, investing in our Ansun Hospital is absolutely the right choice."
The director was also quick to praise after hearing this, taking the opportunity to comnd his entire hospital staff.
"Co here, Chloe, sit next to Young Mister Johnson."
After the praise, he went over to pull Chloe to sit beside Alexander Johnson.
Only then did Chloe manage to pull herself out of her confusion, anxiously sitting down beside Alexander Johnson as directed by the director.
At this mont, she indeed had no option to refuse, and could only comply.
As soon as she sat down, Chloe felt a strong gaze sweeping over her.
Following the gaze, she saw Lucas Hughes, her palms tightened, realizing suddenly that Lucas was still there, her husband was still there.
In the scene just now, she had indeed neglected Lucas's presence.
Now, facing Lucas's gloomy stare, Chloe's heart was a chaotic ss.
She hurriedly picked up her phone and sent Lucas a ssage on WeChat.
[Lucas, it's not what you think, I'll explain when I get back.]
Completely focused on ssaging Lucas, Chloe didn't notice that every word on her phone screen was seen by Alexander Johnson sitting beside her.
"Nurse Simpson, what do you think?"
Staring at Chloe's phone screen, a hint of sadness flashed in Alexander Johnson's eyes, then he brought the topic to Chloe.
"What?" Chloe still didn't know what was happening.
"Simpson, what are you thinking? Young Mister Johnson just said about adding a psychological outpatient departnt, which might help patients' physical recovery."
The director was quite dissatisfied with Chloe's attitude.
"Oh, yes, that's great." Chloe indeed didn't hear, feeling guilty, she replied following the director's lead.
"Good, since Nurse Simpson thinks it's great too, let's work together on a feasibility plan."
Alexander Johnson nonchalantly glanced at Lucas Hughes from the corner of his eyes, before finally setting his gaze back on Chloe.
"Yes, that would be feasible. Chloe, tonight, you stay and work overti with Young Mister Johnson, don't go back yet. The sooner the feasibility plan is completed, the sooner it can be implented."
The director naturally agreed with delight.
After all, once the feasibility plan is finalized, the investnt money would follow.
"Ah?"
Hearing the word 'tonight', Chloe's heart skipped a beat.
The madness of the wedding night surged up again.
And what about the explanation she had just promised to give Lucas?
"I..."
She opened her mouth to refuse, but the director didn't give her a chance.
"What? You have a problem?"
The director's imposing gaze clearly told Chloe she didn't have the right to refuse.
"No."
She shook her head, glancing at Lucas Hughes not far away, more distressed than ever.
Thinking she could only wait until the eting was over, and then go to Lucas to explain briefly.
Little did she know, nearby, Alexander Johnson had already seen through her thoughts.
As for Lucas Hughes, he had already sent a ssage to Alexander Johnson's phone.
[Young Mister Johnson, enjoy your night. If you need to do anything, just let know.]
