Maya gripped her phone tightly, barely restraining herself from smashing her phone.

Her assistant replied, “I’ve checked with the hospital management. He’s not on duty.”

“Since he’s not on duty tonight, why is he not picking up the phone? Is he not willing to have a meal

with me

now?” Annoyance slowly got the best of her.

In fact, she didn’t see Connor’s rejection coming. That was why she scheduled for that night’s dinner to

press

the following plans into motion.

Yet, he didn’t show up that day!

Maya glanced at the private lounge, where Timothy and Sharon were present.

They were waiting for Connor.

If he didn’t show up, what should she do?

She shot a cold gaze at her assistant. “I told you to verify if there’s any bad blood between Connor and

Timothy. Any updates?”

The assistant shrunk as she replied, “No, for now.”

Maya slapped her. “Useless! Incompetent trash! If your incompetence gets in my way, I’ll fire all of you!”

She felt better after venting it out to her assistant.

After feigning a facade and taking a deep breath, she entered the private lounge. “Let’s dig in first.”

Sharon said, “How could we? Let’s wait until Connor’s here. It’s our first time meeting him. It’ll be

unbecoming

of us to start without him.”

The expressionless Timothy looked at Maya. “How long before he comes?”

If it hadn’t been for Connor’s attendance, Timothy wouldn’t have appeared for the dinner.

“Connor wanted to come, but as you know how busy the hospital can be. There was an emergency

patient. So he couldn’t come.

“We can’t let him abandon the patient, can we?” She quickly made up a nonexistent story.

Timothy had his doubts as his questioning gaze pierced through her.

Sharon tried to alleviate the mood by saying, “She’s right. He’s a famous doctor, after all. It is normal

for him to be swarmed. It’s alright. We can take a rain check.”

A wave of relief washed over Maya. “Sure.”

“This is not a huge issue. As long as your brother agrees to perform the surgery, we don’t mind.”

She dropped her gaze, faking calmness. “He has agreed to it. But he still holds an opinion toward

Timothy

Sharon sighed. “There’s nothing we can change about it. But the good thing is, my son has already

divorced that woman. Everything will fall right back to their places.”

Maya’s eyes brightened, and she smiled ambiguously.

Timothy set down his cutleries. “Since he’s not coming, I shall take my leave.”

“Where are you going? You can leave after you have your fill.”

Maya sprang up from her seat and chased after him. “Tim!”

He took big strides out of the restaurant without looking back.

She stood right there as her eyes shone with an evil glint.

She wouldn’t give up that easily.

After a few days‘ rest, Mia fully recovered from the cold.novelbin

Liam especially bought two tickets to an auction. “Mia, are you interested in charity auctions?”

Mia had only known charity auctions by words. She spared a glance at the tickets. “Aren’t those where

only rich people hang out?”

“It was supposed to be a schedule for that famous actor, but he didn’t want to go. So, I have to fill in his

place. Just buying a few things there will do. You want to come along?”
