Chapter 53
Then Meredith found that her hair was twined on the button of his shirt. She had moved a little just now
but almost tore off a bunch of hair. She almost cried for the pain.
"Wait, I'll remove it." Meredith's face was burning so badly that all she wanted to say was that this damn
hair really messed her up by winding on his button.
Derek did not move, allowing her to do what she wanted to.
But Meredith had to keep her head down in case of pulling her hair. Thus, she groped for a long time in
vain, only rubbing his chest left and right. Thus, she was so ashamed and wanted to escape.
"Are you removing your hair or taking advantage of it?" Derek was touched by her hands, which were
so soft as if they had no bones. His eyes were filled with eagerness. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Did she do it on purpose?
"No, I... I can't see it clearly..." Meredith wanted to give up. "How about cutting it off with scissors."
Derek looked at her, whose ears were so red as if they were about to blood. His slender fingers
reached out and dealt with it casually. Miraculously, he easily pulled out her hair, which Meredith could
not remove before.
"Do you still insist that you are not intentional?" Derek said with a teasing look.
"I..." Meredith was dumbfounded. She saw the rare relaxed expression of the handsome man and felt
the warmth of his embrace on her body. She felt impetuous and said, "I'll go out and found out what
happened."
Derek looked at her fleeing back and smiled more happily.
Then, he thought of something else, so he stopped smiling and called Damian.
"Take the person who comes from the Howards out of the hospital."
Derek's eyes darkened and his tone was callous.
He was annoyed by Leo's unpleasant words, so he had to teach Leo a lesson.
"Isn't that... not good? After all, Xavier Group is cooperating with an entertainment company of the
Howards."
Damian was embarrassed and he didn't know what the boss wanted to do all of a sudden.
Derek frowned, remembering that Xavier Group did intend to work with the Howards to make inroads
into the entertainment industry.
"Take me to the company. I want to reexamine the risks of this collaboration."
Derek thought for a moment and then directly decided.
When Damian heard it, he felt bitter. They almost made a deal in the plan. Why did he stop?
When Meredith returned to the ward, Derek had already left. Looking at the vacant room, she felt
empty suddenly.
But soon, Meredith shook her head again. Was she still fantasizing about Derek's accompanying her
for another night?
It was too sentimental to think of that just for his one visit.
...
Meredith stayed in the hospital for a night. On the next morning, she directly went through the
discharge formalities in case that she would invite troubles after meeting Leo.
After talking with the doctor for a moment, Meredith walked out with some medicine to recuperate her
body. A car from the Xaviers was already outside the door.
She had nothing to do if she returned, and she had already taken a few days off. She would feel sorry
for the salary Mr. Xavier paid her if she did not go to work, so she went straight to the Xavier Group.
Back on the exclusive floor for Derek, she took a look at his office. He was not there, and she didn't
know if he had gone out for work.
Meredith felt a little disappointed. But then she couldn't help shaking her head and patted her cheek.
What happened to her recently... In the past, she would only be scared and nervous to meet Derek.
She had wished that he was not here. But now she was not accustomed to his absence all day long for
being busy.
In order to avoid thinking about these messy things, Meredith quickly found a lot of work to do by
herself. When she got busy, she would not think about other things.
A morning passed soon. During the lunch break, Meredith went out with other people to eat dinner in
the dining hall. Suddenly, someone approached her and grabbed her arm. "Come over here, I want to
ask you some questions!"
Meredith turned around and found that it was Leo again...
Why was he keeping follow her now? Didn't Ava teach him a lesson that day?
Meredith's face darkened and she said indifferently, "I'm sorry, I'm going to have lunch. I am not
available for you."
"No, you have to listen." Leo was furious. "Was it you who ask your supporter to be against Howards
and transfer my grandfather from the hospital?"
He had intended to argue with Meredith in the morning. But he was informed of transferring his
grandfather to another hospital before he left.
His grandfather was in a private hospital that had the highest level of medical care in J City. And it
demonstrated the patients' social status to receive treatment in a VIP ward here.
Not to mention that Old Master Howard was ill, how could the Howards agree to transfer him? They
had said all the good things about the hospital but in vain. No matter what, they were told to transfer
Old Master Howard immediately. Moreover, they were told that someone at the top level had given the
order.
The only people Leo had offended recently were Meredith and the man who kept her.
"Nonsense!" Meredith had no choice but to see that everyone had already left. She would have nothing
to eat if she was late so she wanted to get rid of Leo. But he held her arm tightly and it seemed that he
would not give up easily.
"So what? Aren't you great? Can't you handle it?"
Meredith was too upset to struggle. Since Leo was about to make a scene, she would like to see what
he wanted to do.
"Meredith, I really didn't expect you to be like this. How humble are you to acquire money and power at
the price of your body! You are so proud now. Which old man are you relying on?"
Leo was the last person to see Meredith smug. Thinking that she might have been sleeping with a man
in the hospital to cause troubles for him, he felt bad as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at his heart.
Meredith looked at him indifferently. They regarded her as such a woman who would sell her body by
any means?
However, she also disdained to pester such a scumbag. "Yes, so what? He's much better than you. At
least I won't be chased out of the hospital. Leo, you'd better think about how to arrange for your
grandfather rather than talking with me here."
A flash of anger flashed in Leo's eyes. It was quiet there. People who rushed to and from work all left
for a long time, so no one noticed them.
"Is he better than me? How do you know before trying to stay with me? Well, break up with him, maybe
I can make you my lover. It is much better for you to stay with me than an old bald man with a beer
belly!"
