Chapter 58
Matthew was somewhat surprised. He asked, “Is that so? Let’s go find him immediately.”
Leveraging his status as a renowned doctor, Mike could ruin a drug’s reputation by saying it might make patients
comatose.
Even if the drug had no side effects, it would still be doomed.
He started walking toward the the doctor’s office. After a few steps, he heard Tracy shout from behind, “Stop, don’t go yet!”
Matthew stopped and looked at Tracy in confusion. He asked, “What’s the matter?”
Tracy shook her head slightly at Matthew as she replied, “You can’t go. You just had a conflict with him. If you go, it’ll only make things worse.”
Matthew didn’t understand Tracy’s logic but felt he needed to go. He said, “Neither of you know medicine. If I don’t go, you won’t be able to resolve this.”
Tracy confidently replied, “If you go, it will only make things worse. What can you do besides exacerbate the conflict? Can you not make things more complicated?”
Matthew thought his medical expertise would be helpful, but to Tracy, he seemed to be nothing but trouble. It was too much!
Feeling somewhat apologetic, Rachel gave a rare smile. She said, “Please wait here for a while.”
Tracy was shocked by the scene because she couldn’t believe that Rachel had actually smiled at a man.
It was impossible that Rachel had smiled at a man.
She and Rachel walked toward the doctor’s office. On the way, Tracy leaned close to Rachel and asked softly, “What’s gotten into you? You actually smiled at him. Did something happen between you two in Khoitwood that I don’t know about?”
Rachel frowned. She replied, “Let’s not gossip about me right now. We need to focus on the task at hand.”
Tracy didn’t take her seriously. Instead, she replied, “A little money can solve this, so it’s not a big deal. In my opinion, you don’t even need to go personally because I can handle it.”
Rachel continued to frown. To her, taking over Wealthwave Group felt like bearing a heavy burden. She said, “I can skip the public appearances, but this is a critical issue that could ruin the company, so I have to handle it myself.”
Tracy laughed as she replied, “I get it. You’re a career woman with a strong sense of responsibility. Did you have sex with that pervert? Just tell me!”
She had asked because she wanted to make Rachel laugh.
Rachel used to be cold to men. Now, as a president, she was even cold to Tracy. If this continued, she could be called an ice queen.
Rachel blushed. Tracy always spoke so bluntly, especially when they were alone. She had no choice but to respond, “We just shared a bed.”
What? Shared a bed?
Tracy couldn’t believe it. Rachel was an arrogant woman who disregarded men, but she had slept with that pervert? Matthew had been in prison, was divorced, had a child, and was a rogue to boot!
“Rae,
what were you thinking? You let him sleep with you?” Tracy’s words drew strange looks from passing patients and nurses. They looked at Rachel with odd expressions.
Rachel’s face instantly flushed.
She was so furious that she lightly punched Tracy. She denied it, saying, “What nonsense are you talking about? It’s not what you think. We just shared a bed.”
Tracy realized she had spoken too loudly, so she shrank back and said, “Really? Just shared a bed? A 20–something- year–old virgin like you managed to resist a man?” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Rachel made a move as if to hit Tracy again. She scared Tracy into changing her tone, “Okay, you could have resisted, but could Matthew? With a beauty like you beside him….”
