Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 713 Director And Deputy Director

Instantly, Audrey's face turned pale. She had never seen Nathan smile so generously at a woman before. She didn't know what kind of a person Mandy was and how she made him smile from the bottom of his heart. In a second, a flame of jealousy burned in Audrey's heart. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Just now, Mandy was trying to say, 'You are nothing to him, Audrey. It's me who Nathan loves. So don't even think about trying to take him from me.'

Needless to say, the atmosphere that morning was a little awkward.

After having breakfast, Nathan and Mandy took Adrian to the kindergarten. Meanwhile, Audrey drove to the JR Hospital by herself.

Audrey was not a fool, and she knew how to win a man's heart. She knew that it wouldn't be wise to force herself into Nathan's life. So, she decided that she shouldn't stay too close to him. Otherwise, Nathan might get annoyed.

But Nathan was not the type of man to be averse to being close to a woman. In fact, he liked to be with Mandy and only her all the time. But when other women got too close to him, he felt disgusted.

On the way to the kindergarten, Nathan carefully drove the car with a small smile on his face.

Mandy stared at him strangely. She didn't know what Nathan was happy about. Fortunately, she was already calm by then, so she didn't mind it that much.

Soon enough, they arrived at the kindergarten. Mandy got out of the car with Adrian. After she took the little boy to his classroom, she went back to the car right away.

Nathan was wearing a pair of dark brown sunglasses, and his white sleeves were rolled up to the elbows. He was resting one of his hands on the car window while the warm sunlight was shining on his face. With that sight in front of her, Mandy was suddenly drawn to this man.

She had never been a woman who was interested in a lot of men. Why did her heart race uncontrollably when she saw Nathan?

But Mandy summoned every bit of composure that she had and pretended to be calm. She then casually said, "You seem to be very proud."

"Believe me, I'm not." He took off his sunglasses and narrowed his eyes while looking at her from head to toe. When he saw the sullen look on her face, he grinned wickedly while softly laughing.

"It's a good thing that someone likes you," Mandy commented while returning the smile.

"What? So, you were bothered by her? Mandy, tell me right now. Are you jealous?" He narrowed his eyes even more and raised his eyebrows. Subconsciously, a smile even appeared on his face.

"No, I am not. You're a man who likes to strut all over the city. So, it's only normal that other women would fall in love with you." She then ignored Nathan and sat on the passenger seat without looking at him.

For several seconds, Nathan could only stare at Mandy with a deep gaze. He thought that Mandy was surprisingly calm today, so it was a little strange to him. He hoped that Mandy would make a big deal out of it as she had done in the past.

"Well, aren't you the same with me? It seems like your ex-husband is still very much obsessed with you," Nathan said slowly.

Upon hearing that, Mandy was stunned, and her face turned a little gloomy. "He is just wasting his time. Perhaps, he's obsessed with me because he can't get me. It's the chase that he's after."

"Mand..." The man's deep and alluring voice resounded in the car. After uttering her name, he slowly approached Mandy.

"What?" Mandy raised her voice. She started to wonder why he had suddenly called her name, and why did it seem like he had something more to say. When she slowly turned around, Nathan placed his hand at the back of her head and kissed her.

After a short while, they let go of each other affectionately.

Mandy's breathing was a little disordered, and the atmosphere in the car was becoming tenser and tenser. She lowered her head and intertwined her hands. Her eyelashes were even flickering a little. She said, "Nathan, I don't know why I care so much about you. I don't like seeing you with that Audrey or Eve, either. I'll admit, it makes me jealous."

"Don't be silly. We both know that Audrey is Adrian's lifesaver. It is for this reason, and this reason only, that I became friends with her. Otherwise, do you really think I would even be tempted by her?" Nathan stretched out his hand. His fingers were finally able to touch Mandy's smooth and delicate face. His deep eyes were staring at her as if he was trying to see through her.

"Nathan..." Mandy mumbled with a bit of shame while she squinted her eyes.

The man pursed his lips, gently pinched her cheeks, and smirked. "Well, I know you're a little sensitive, but I'm not an exception. No matter what happens to us in the future, we both have to calm down and communicate better. Don't just jump to conclusions and act impulsively."

Mandy nodded her head with sincerity and said, "Okay."

On the way to JS International, a relaxing and delightful song was playing in the car on a loop. It perfectly encapsulated what Nathan and Mandy were feeling at the moment. They had missed each other for so many years but came through because they loved each other.

In the JR Hospital

Audrey could already feel that she was being rejected by everyone in the Cardiology Department. It was her first day at work as the director. Before her, Jamie had been the director. During those years, he had always been involved in all kinds of medical research. His skills in theory and even in practice were outstanding, so he was well-respected. After so many years, he finally had the chance of becoming the director. But because of Audrey, he had to step down and take the position of deputy director. Naturally, he was at a loss.

Cassie might be the one who hated Audrey the most since Jamie was her husband. Jamie had been doing an excellent job as the director. She quietly muttered with disdain, "Why should my husband give way just because she decided that she wants to work in this hospital?" She just thought that it wasn't fair.

Audrey was able to assume the position for some other reasons, but Jamie slowly got the position by relying on his own abilities and hard work. Cassie really wanted to fight for him.

"Don't you think the Dean is being so unfair? How could he give the position to that woman when she just came in here?" Cassie complained in the office. The other doctors were present as well, but they didn't say a word.

"Cas, please don't make any trouble. Audrey came here from abroad and was hired by the Dean at a very costly price. This is for the benefit of our hospital. I'm not as good as her. Of course, I have to give her the position," Jamie calmly said with a deadpan expression on his face.

"Who knows if she was really hired by the Dean or she used some other means," said a doctor, who curled his lips. He didn't like Audrey either.

Jamie and Cassie had been working in the JR Hospital for many years, and they had a good relationship with all of the doctors in the Cardiology Department.

The difference between the director and deputy director was fairly huge. The annual income of the director was one million, while only half of that would be received by the deputy director. Certainly, Cassie was not happy with that. Moreover, since Jamie had become the deputy director, it meant that one of the other deputy directors had to be transferred to a lower position as well.
