Chapter 15
Chapter 15 News of Philips dismissal spread like wildfire through the hospital , leaving staff in shock at the unexpected turn of events .
Serves him right ! That creeps been harassing nurses for ages .
What an amazing news ! Its about time someone stood up to the Hacketts .
Dr.
Lloyds got guts ! Many were relieved Andrew had come out unscathed , while those who had hoped to see him go were baffled .
They wondered how Bernard lost this battle , as it simply did not add up .
After all , Andrew no longer had Christinas support , and he was nothing in their eyes .
Some of the more imaginative male doctors exchanged knowing glances, wondering if Andrew had somehow charmed Francesca too .
If so , they would never forgive him for snagging such a prize .
On the other hand , Nylas colleagues could not resist teasing her .
Dr.
Lloyd played the hero for you , Nyla .
Shouldnt you show your appreciation ? Thats right , Nyla ! Youre the belle of our hospital , and I think the only one who could sweep you off your feet is Dr.
Lloyd .
You should go for it ! Nyla felt her cheeks flush .
She bit her lips , gathered her courage , and walked toward Andrews office .
Andrew was alone , and when he saw the blushing nurse enter , he smiled and said , Dont worry .
You heard the news Philips been fired .
Nyla fiddled with the hem of her shirt and stammered , Dr.
Lloyd , I wanted to thank properly and also … tell you something Ive been keeping to myself for a long time .
Andrew smiled encouragingly .
Go ahead , Nyla .
You can speak freely with me .
With twinkling eyes , Nyla whispered , Dr.
Lloyd , I I want to be yours .
you Immediately regretting her boldness , Nyla covered her face and turned to flee .
She was worried that she might have come off too strong and made Andrew uncomfortable .
In her haste , she bumped into the desk , crying out in pain and falling right into Andrews arms .
Before Andrew could react , a cold chuckle from the doorway made them both freeze .noveldrama
There stood Francesca , her face a mix of shock and anger .
Andrew , youre despicable , Francesca spat .
Confused , Andrew asked , What did I do ? Francesca sneered , What did you do ? In broad daylight , in your office , youre having a nurse perform indecent acts .
Youre nothing but a sleaze , and Im going to make sure Lauren +26 BONUS knows exactly what kind of man you are .
As Francesca stormed off , Andrew was left bewildered by her intense reaction .
Looking down , he realized the awkward position Nyla had landed in , her face uncomfortably close to his lap .
Um … Even with his quick thinking , Andrew could not find the right words to say .
Before he could react , the office door burst open and a crowd of curious colleagues poured in .
Whoa , Dr.
Lloyd , youre a real player ! And with Dr.
Aicker watching ? Thats next level ! Nyla , we told you to confess , not put on a show ! Amidst the laughter , Andrew sighed , knowing this misunderstanding would be impossible to explain .
Meanwhile , Christina and Shawn arrived early at Wealthroller Investments , owned by Marvin .
They were there to submit their proposal for the orphanage property .
Shawn boasted confidently , Christie , dont worry .
With Stevens Corporations reputation and the Fields familys backing , Marvins bound to choose us for the development project .
Christina remained cautious .
Lets not get ahead of ourselves .
Marvin is cunning , so we need to tread carefully .
Just then , a Wealthroller employee approached them .
Shawn grinned , See , Christie ? Good news already .
However , his smile quickly faded as the employee spoke .
Im sorry , Ms.
Stevens .
Your companys proposal doesnt meet our requirements .
Christina felt a sinking feeling in her stomach .
Did Mr.
Yates personally review it ? The employee replied matter of factly , Mr.
Yates himself called it garbage , and thats why it was rejected .
Christina stood frozen in disbelief .
Her carefully prepared proposal , which she had considered .
flawless , was dismissed as garbage .
Shawn was enraged and demanded , I dont believe it .
We need to speak with Mr.
Yates directly .
The employee barely glanced at him before scoffing , Meet Mr.
Yates ? Do you really think youre important enough ? With that , the employee turned and left , leaving Shawn fuming but unable to retort .
As a member of the Fields family , he realized he was indeed nothing compared to Marvin , Jayrodales richest man .
He had only intended to show off in front of Christina , but instead , he had made himself look like a fool .
1 +25 ECERS Chapter 15 : Christina sighed , disappointment evident on her face .
Wealthroller Investments is too big for us to take on right now .
Lets go .
Well have to give up on that property .
Unwilling to admit defeat , Shawn bragged , Hold on , Christie .
Im not useless like Andrew .
I promised to help you get that land , and I will .
Ill have my dad call Marvin right now .
Christina looked skeptical .
Can your dad really influence him ? Shawn puffed up his chest .
Marvin might be a big shot in Jayrodale , but he still respects the Fields family .
He immediately dialed his fathers number .
Hey , Dad .
I need you to call Marvin , you know , Jayrodales richest guy , and ask him for a favor , Shawn said confidently .
Tony Fields , Shawns father , could not believe his ears .
What did you just say ? Repeat that .
Shawn obliged , repeating his request , I need you to call Marvin and ask him for a favor .
Are you out of your damn mind ? You want me to ask the richest man in town for a favor ? Were not even among the top ten families of Jayrodale ! Besides , I dont have his number , you idiot ! With that , Tony hung up , clearly furious .
Shawn stood there with his phone still pressed to his ear , realizing he had just made a complete fool of himself
