Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Who Hasn’t Run Into a Few Jerks
"I understand."
Elena Soo nodded and glanced at Elara Don.
The woman’s black eyes were pure and unmoved, like a clear spring.
Elena Soo’s gaze flickered slightly, and in her lowered eyes, a trace of apology passed by.
She is really nice.
But...
"Alright, go back to work."
Elara Don patted her shoulder, signaling her to return to work.
Elena Soo replied softly and returned to the development department.
Elara Don was also about to return to her workstation when Vinny Hawke’s voice came from behind.
"Charlotte, tonight, come with me to a banquet. Here’s the information. Remember, tonight you represent Hawke Group, don’t embarrass the Hawke Corporation."
He wanted her to attend a banquet tonight?
Elara Don took the materials Vinny Hawke handed her, looking surprised.
Why did Vinny Hawke want her to attend the banquet with him?
What was she supposed to do?
Elara Don watched Vinny Hawke’s aloof back as he walked away and opened the file folder speechlessly.
Crestview Hospital.
Leia Quinn finished a consultation, stood up to stretch her stiff neck, and prepared to head to the restroom.
She walked a bit hastily and accidentally bumped into a woman approaching from the corner.
"Oh no."
The woman shrieked and quickly held her belly, shouting, "How do you walk? Do you not have eyes?"
"I’m sorry, are you okay?"
Leia Quinn was taken aback, supported the woman, and apologized.
Her gaze fell on the woman’s face, her expression froze, and she silently withdrew her hand.
What a small world, how did she run into her as soon as she returned to the country?
"What do you mean okay? Did you do it on purpose? You..."
The woman, holding her belly, was relentless.
Once she recognized that the person who bumped into her was Leia Quinn, her eyebrows arched immediately.
"So it’s you, Leia Quinn? What are you doing here?"
Leia Quinn glanced at her, not really wanting to engage, "Sorry, I have things to do, I’m leaving."
"Where do you think you’re going? You think you can leave just after hitting someone?"
Wendy Morgan blocked her path, sizing her up, "You’re wearing a lab coat? Don’t tell me you’re working here? Leia Quinn, how shameless can you be? Tell me, did you find out Leo was transferred here, so you chased after him?"
"Leia Quinn, why don’t you take a good look in a mirror? A poor woman like you, with baggage, how could Leo ever fancy you? If you know what’s good for you, resign and leave now!"
The woman had a face full of disdain, mocking her mercilessly.
Leia Quinn’s fingers clenched, and she smirked sardonically, "Miss Liu, take a good look, this is my ID badge. I work at this hospital as a psychological counselor. If you’re having delusions, I’d advise you to register for an appointment. By the way, I’m at the expert clinic, and a session isn’t cheap. If you feel the consultation fee is too high, you can call me, and I’ll arrange a discount for you."
She had forgotten; she heard that Wendy Morgan’s father was the vice president of Crestview Hospital.
Years ago, she had a boyfriend who, due to her conservative nature, lost interest after a few attempts at exploring their relationship and began secretly dating Wendy Morgan.
They had disagreements, but she let them be together.
Unexpectedly, upon meeting again, Wendy Morgan still held a grudge against her.
"Are you calling me mentally ill? Leia Quinn, what are you so arrogant about? Stop right there."
Wendy Morgan, insulted, grabbed Leia Quinn in anger.
Her nails were long and scraped harshly across Leia Quinn’s arm.
Leia Quinn frowned and flicked her hand away impatiently.
"Let go..."
"Ah!"
Wendy Morgan stumbled, her high heel twisted, and she fell to the ground.
Immediately, she clutched her stomach and moaned.
Leia Quinn stopped, turned to look at her, completely at a loss.
Why was this spoiled young lady picking a fight with her?
Pregnant and still wearing high heels, fell, didn’t you?
Now, it seemed she wouldn’t be able to extricate herself from the situation smoothly.
"Are you okay?"
Leia Quinn bent over, ready to help her up.
"Get lost, don’t touch me!"
Wendy Morgan slapped away Leia Quinn’s hand forcefully and yelled, "Leia Quinn, you vicious woman, are you trying to kill me and Leo’s child? Leo, come quickly, oh, my stomach hurts."
"Wenwen, I’m here, what happened? Don’t be scared, don’t be scared! I’m here!"
A man’s anxious voice came from behind.
Leia Quinn was shoved aside, nearly losing her balance.
She steadied herself and looked forward, seeing Leo Rhodes’s thin figure carefully helping Wendy Morgan up.
Seeing her ex-boyfriend again, it was impossible not to feel anything.
After all, they had shared beautiful times due to their senior-junior relationship.
But now, he was someone else’s husband and father of a child.
His image had long been sealed in her heart.
"Leo, it was Leia Quinn who pushed me on purpose, she’s such a vicious woman."
Wendy Morgan leaned against Leo Rhodes, accusingly pointing at Leia Quinn.
Only then did Leo Rhodes look at Leia Quinn.
After a brief surprise, he furrowed his brow, "Leia, we broke up. Even if you still have feelings for me, it’s useless. Wenwen and I love each other deeply, and we even have a child now. I hope you won’t have any more illusions about me."
Leia Quinn: "..."
She still has feelings for him?
She has illusions about him?
What an interesting pair!
Both seem to suffer from delusions!
"Leo, a man like you who only thinks with the lower half of his body, do you think I’d be interested in you? Still have feelings for you? Stop daydreaming! Even if I were infatuated with a pig, I wouldn’t have any illusions about a jerk like you!"
When you’re young, who doesn’t encounter a few jerks?
She was blind to have been interested in such a self-centered jerk!
Leia Quinn finished speaking and turned to leave.
The crowd around them was filled with spectators enjoying the drama, and Leo Rhodes’s face changed various shades, feeling his manly dignity was utterly lost.
He let go of Wendy Morgan and grabbed Leia Quinn, "Leia, don’t be stubborn. Everyone at the medical school knew how good you were to me back then."
"You not only brought me meals every day, but also spent your own money to buy me those expensive clothes. A conservative woman like you couldn’t easily forget her first love, could you?"
"And now you’ve returned to Crestview Hospital, and you’re saying it’s not because of me? Leia, I advise you to resign quickly and stop causing trouble for Wenwen and me."
The man’s words were confident, unabashedly recounting past events.
Leia Quinn only felt as though her healed wound was being gruesomely reopened, painful and unsightly.
How foolish was she in the past?
Foolish enough to give everything for such a jerk.
Even if she had to scrimp and save, she ensured he ate well, dressed well, and had everything he needed!
Women, it turns out, won’t be respected if they degrade themselves!
"Leo Rhodes, let go of me! I’m telling you again, to me, you’re just a stranger! I’m here to work, and you have no right to make me resign."
"Hmph, Leia Quinn, don’t be so shameless! My dad is the vice president of Crestview Hospital, I’ll call him now and have you fired."
Wendy Morgan sneered, arrogantly pulling out her phone.
"You!"
"Tsk, what a show! Cindy darling, don’t worry, I’d like to see who dares to fire you!"
