Chapter 96 - 92: Among So Many Women, Master Lewis Is Only Nice to Dr. Dunn
Since she was teaching Timmy, Richelle Dunn stayed at the Lewis house for lunch.
After lunch, Richelle reluctantly said goodbye to her eldest son and drove her old, beat-up car, taking Nathan Caroule with her towards Central Hospital.
In the car, Nathan introduced to her the hotel he had arranged for her.
“The hotel is right next to the hospital, and it is said that there’s a secret passage inside the hotel that directly connects to the hospital.”
Richelle was a bit curious, “Said?”
Deep down, she actually had quite a few restless curiosity factors.
“Yes, actually, 1 don’t even know where the passage is. It is said that nobody knows where the secret passage is except for Master Lewis.”
Richelle was adaptable to Nathan’s cryptic character, and even if she wasn’t sure whether he was telling the truth or just teasing her, she still gave him a surprised look.
“Wow, that’s amazing! Who came up with the idea to connect the hospital and the hotel?”
Nathan brought his face closer with a mysterious expression, “It is said that it was the old Chairman and his wife who created the passage for the convenience of their dates!”
Richelle was clueless about the Greens’ past, “The old Chairman? Is it the current old man and his wife?”
“Of course not, it refers to Master Lewis’s parents. The hotel is owned by Lewis Group, and the hospital used to be owned by the Greens. So, do you understand now?”
If she couldn’t understand this, then she would really be brainless.
“I didn’t expect the old Chairman and his wife to be such romantic people.”
Nathan laughed, “Indeed, who would have thought that Master Lewis’s parents would be so romantic? But all that romance seems to have been lost when it comes to Master Lewis.”
Richelle didn’t respond to this.
She was not like Nathan, who had been with Roy Lewis for so many years and had enough capital to ridicule or comment on Roy Lewis’s character or even personal life.
She could also see that Roy Lewis trusted Nathan and was quite tolerant of him.
Their relationship, in addition to being boss and subordinate, was probably that of pretty good friends.
As for her, she was just his doctor, and once he was cured, there would be nothing between them anymore.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel sad.
As for her eldest son, she probably wouldn’t be able to get him back. But once Roy Lewis was cured, she wouldn’t have much reason to stay with her eldest son.
Selfishly, she had considered trying to drag out the process.
But as a doctor, she couldn’t allow herself to do such despicable things.
Seeing that Richelle wasn’t making a sound, Nathan thought she just didn’t know much about Roy Lewis and began to talk non-stop about Roy Lewis’s past love affairs.
“When I first joined the company, Master Lewis had just been promoted to President, and there were a group of old officials left by the old regime. When I was just made a full-time employee, I was promoted by Master Lewis to be his personal secretary. At the time, 1 was so happy, but during the first week, 1 almost lost my life.”
Richelle was just going along with Nathan’s words, but when she heard this, her interest was somewhat piqued.
“What happened, did you get poisoned by those old officials’ daughters or trusted followers?”
Nathan shook his head, “It was their daughters or confidants. At that time, all the secretaries in the secretary room were people placed there by the old officials. I, a newcomer to the business department, didn’t know any of this and just delivered documents to the secretary room. As a result, just when several old officials were accompanying Master Lewis in the secret room selecting secretaries, Master Lewis saw me and immediately grabbed my collar and told those old officials, ‘It’s him!\'”
Richelle could already imagine his fate afterwards.
“After that, I became the President’s secretary, either having diarrhea or farting all day long, and 1 hardly did any real work for a week. But Master Lewis is Master Lewis. In just one week, not only did he not fire me, but he also gave me a big red envelope.”
Richelle chuckled, “No wonder Mr. Lewis trusts you so much. It turns out that you earned it with your life!”
Nathan didn’t deny it, “At that time, 1 thought Master Lewis gave me the cold shoulder because all the secretaries were watching him on behalf of the old officials. But after all these years following him, 1 realized that Master Lewis is just an old-fashioned man who doesn’t understand romance.”
As Nathan spoke, he carefully observed Richelie’s expression.
Richelle appeared calm, but inside, she was extremely excited.
“Mr. Lewis treats others that way, but he should be different with the biological mother of the young Master, right?”
Heaven must have provided her with an opportunity to ask about this at last.
However, she apparently underestimated Nathan’s skills, as he laughed and replied.
“I don’t know about that, but Master Lewis never showed any good-looking faces to those secretaries in the company or those big and small Misses who come to visit him on their own initiative. 1 have been with him for so long and only saw him treat one person of the opposite sex nicely!”
Richelle thought that the person he was referring to was Timmy’s “biological mother,” so she casually asked.
“Really? Who is so amazing that they can be considered Master Lewis’s only one?”
Nathan looked closely at her, but couldn’t tell whether she was pretending to be ignorant or was just as clueless as his boss who was deeply involved yet completely unaware.
“You!”
Richelle responded with a “Huh?” and asked, “Who did you say?”
Nathan pointed his chin at her, “During all the time I’ve been with Master Lewis, I’ve only ever seen him give a good face to you, Dr. Dunn.”
And more than that, he kept making exceptions for her.
Richelle burst into laughter, “Nathan, I am his doctor. If he doesn’t give me a good face, is he not afraid 1 would make him suffer more cuts? Besides, 1 am now Timmy’s teacher. Have you ever heard of anyone daring to give a bad face to their doctor or their child’s teacher?”
Richelle was quite certain in her words. In any case, the things in the world were like this, as long as you believed them, the truth would become what you believed.
In Nathan’s view, Dr. Dunn and his boss were both willing to believe only what they wanted to believe.
“Alright, since Dr. Dunn thinks like this, 1 guess it’s probably just me over thinking!”
Since both his boss and Dr. Dunn didn’t think much about it, then it must be him, the bystander who overthought and misunderstood!
As they talked, they had unknowingly reached the halfway point.
Richelle noticed that the atmosphere had become awkward for no apparent reason. Just as she was thinking about changing the topic or talking about something related to Timmy to probe, she noticed in the rearview mirror that there was a suspicious black car following them a bit too closely.
Richelle, due to her unique identity, always wore a mask when going out, even when driving her car. Now, not only was she wearing a mask, but also sunglasses.
Unsure if she was being followed, she deliberately switched lanes several times, and the car behind her did the same.
Nathan hadn’t noticed the unusual situation and was only being shaken up by Richelie’s frequent lane changes.
“Dr. Dunn, do you always drive so unpredictably?”
But it had been quite stable in the first half of the journey.
Richelle glanced at the left and right rear-view mirrors and saw that the black car was still following them closely, almost certain about its intentions.
“Nathan, we are being followed.. Hold onto the handrail, I am going to start speeding up!”
