Unpredictable Betrayal : A Sweet of Revenge

“So Dr. Alden is your ex-boyfriend?” Aurora immediately scowled. Thanks to Asher’s careless remark in the doctor’s lounge yesterday, almost everyone in the hospital now knew that she had once been in a relationship with Alden.

“Dr. Alden, if you hadn’t broken up with Dr. Aurora, maybe now she would be my sister-in-law and leading Santa Monica Hospital.”

If there weren’t so many people around, Aurora felt like pulling Asher’s ear or pinching him hard to stop him from talking nonsense. Aurora knew her brother did it on purpose.

“Aurora?” Velia called again.

“Yeah,” Aurora lazily replied.

“Did you hear my question or not?”

“Yeah. He used to be my boyfriend. Are you satisfied?”

Velia laughed. She enjoyed seeing Aurora looking annoyed like this.

“Why didn’t you just marry Dr. Alden? I mean, he’s pretty handsome. Judging by his looks, he must come from a wealthy family too, right?”

Aurora nodded.

“Yeah. But, no matter what, we’re just not meant to be together. That’s why we broke up and now live our own lives.”

“Such a shame.”

“What’s there to regret?”

“Well, it’s a pity to break up with someone who’s almost perfect.”

“Exaggerated.”

“What’s exaggerated about it?”

Unexpectedly, Alden appeared from the direction of Aurora’s office door. He seemed to be passing by with Asher and might have accidentally overheard snippets of conversation between Aurora and Velia.

“Oh, that Velia, she’s exaggerating.”

Aurora seemed visibly nervous instead. She herself wondered why she suddenly felt so awkward in front of Alden.

“Have you eaten?” Alden asked point-blank.

“Not yet, Doc. Aurora hasn’t had lunch yet. Just finished visiting patients’ rooms.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

It was Velia, not Aurora, who seemed enthusiastic in her response. Aurora looked irritated seeing the interaction between Alden and Velia. And because of this response, she earned a glare from Aurora.

“If you haven’t had lunch yet, want to grab lunch together? With the others too,” Alden offered afterwards.

Velia immediately approached Aurora. She purposely nudged her colleague’s arm, giving a signal for Aurora to accept Alden’s invitation just now.

“Sorry, I can’t. I have some business outside the hospital to take care of this afternoon.”

“What kind of business?” Asher interjected. Squinting, he seemed curious.

“Not your business,” Aurora replied still annoyed. Then she turned back to Alden.

“Alright, it’s fine. Maybe some other time we can grab lunch together.”

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Alex was so focused on finishing his work in the office. Amidst his busyness, his phone rang several times. Upon checking, there were several text messages sent by Nicole.

+62 855 1234 5678: Alex, I miss you. Want to meet up?

+62 855 1234 5678: Are you too busy? You haven’t replied to my messages.

Alex smiled. Instead of replying, he intended to call her. But before he could make the call, Nicole suddenly appeared from the office door.

“Honey.”

Alex was quite surprised. Moreover, he and Nicole had actually made an agreement not to meet each other in the office. He didn’t want her arrival to be known by Aurora.

Despite warning all staff to keep their mouths shut and to keep all non-work-related activities confidential, Alex still worried.

“I’ve told you we’re not supposed to meet in the office.”

“I miss you, Darling.”

Nicole pouted. Approaching Alex who was standing not far from his desk, she immediately hugged him.

“I miss you.”

“But didn’t we just come back from Singapore last night? Wasn’t our meeting and time together yesterday enough?”

“Being with you, one or two days are never enough, right? Besides, your touches and kisses always make me miss you.”

Alex smiled. He loved it when Nicole teased and acted cute like this in front of him.

“So, what do you want?”

Nicole then pulled Alex back to his chair. A moment later, she deliberately sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Of course, to have fun with you as usual,” she whispered teasingly.

“Do you want us to go to a hotel now?”

Nicole shook her head instead. She refused Alex’s offer.

“No.”

“No? Then what do you want? Don’t confuse me.”

“I’m bored of playing in hotels. That’s why, why don’t you just buy me an apartment? Besides, if I live in an apartment, you can freely come and sleep over whenever you want.”

Alex smiled again. Upon reflection, spending time together with Nicole in an apartment would indeed be easier. Besides being safer, the two of them could also spend more time together.

“Alright, I’ll buy an apartment not far from the office. So, during break times, I can drop by to see you.”

“Seriously?”

Nicole couldn’t hide her excitement. After years of living in a cramped rented house, she couldn’t wait for Alex to grant her request to move to a luxurious apartment.

“Seriously, Darling. When have I ever lied to you? I’ll buy it as soon as possible.”

A look of pure happiness radiated from Nicole’s face. She was so happy that she even hugged and kissed Alex.

“So, are we going to have fun now?” Alex asked after they broke the kiss.

“Of course.”

“Where do you want to make love? A hotel?”

“Right here?”

Alex furrowed his brows. He didn’t understand Nicole’s recent answer.

“Here?”

Nicole nodded.

“Yes. We haven’t even had fun in your office yet. There’s a comfy sofa. A spacious bathroom. Your desk is fine too.”

“Don’t joke around.”

Nicole smiled suggestively. Getting off Alex’s lap, she then knelt directly in front of the chair Alex was sitting on. Hiding between the desk, she slowly unbuttoned and unzipped Alex’s pants.

“Nicole…” Alex whispered, a little worried. “What if someone sees?”

Nicole didn’t care. With her soft hands, she began to caress Alex.

“No one will see, Alex. Your secretary and other staff always knock on the door before entering the room, right? So, why should you be afraid?”

Nicole had a point. Why should Alex be afraid of being seen by others? Besides, no one dared to enter his room without his permission.

That’s why Alex let Nicole gently caress and kiss him down there. Allowing her to do anything down there. Enjoying every touch his mistress gave. Without realizing that there was someone who didn’t need approval or permission from him to enter the executive room.

“Alex, have you had lunch?”

Alex’s heart almost leaped out of his chest. Now, standing in front of him, right at the threshold of the room, unexpectedly appeared Aurora.

Will his affair be revealed to Aurora again after this?
