Seeing how much Chase genuinely loved the books, Wendy finally relaxed. All that trouble she went through had been worth it.
“Leave things as they are for now,” Wendy said. “Keep checking. Send the personnel information to Waylon.”
Chase closed the book. “If I’d known, I would’ve invited Waylon over for dinner tonight. You two could have talked things over. I totally forgot.”
Before Wendy could answer, Zynn immediately cut in.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t. I have nothing to say to Waylon. If you invite him, I’m leaving.”
Chase was confused. Was there bad blood between Waylon and Zynn?
Sammy couldn’t help but laugh.
Back when Zynn first joined the company, the PR team hadn’t been fully set up. She had to handle a lot herself. A few times, while negotiating deals over dinner, she’d been harassed by drunk men. Zynn, being Zynn, never tolerated it and fought back.
And every time, it just so happened Waylon was nearby investigating homicide cases.
“Wait, Waylon was with Major Crimes. What’s that got to do with you getting harassed at a dinner table?”
At the mention of it, Zynn’s face turned sour. “Because every time I reported it, Waylon was nearby investigating murders. He kept insisting I was tipping people off and dragged me in for forty–eight–hour investigations.”
It was all years ago. Even Chase hadn’t known.
No wonder Zynn couldn’t stand Waylon now. Just hearing his name gave her a headache.
A few days ago, when Waylon came to the company for a meeting, Zynn had originally been scheduled to attend. She took one look through the meeting room door, saw Waylon inside, and immediately turned around and left the building.
Chase, sensing gossip, couldn’t resist grabbing his phone and texting Lemon.
Waylon would never tell him anything, but Lemon? She would spill everything.
“Tomorrow I’m going to Cloud Hospital for a meeting,” Wendy said. “After New Year’s, Cloud Hospital plans to go public. Everyone needs to get ready. Next year we’ll be standing fully in the spotlight–it won’t be easy.”

council–worst of all, with a man.
He claimed that’s why Chase had been pushed into the chairman’s seat.
The person he nameri just glanced nervously at Wendy, then immediately had Simon dmgredi out of the building by security.
That council member had been placed at Cloud Hospital by Wendy long ago. Otherwise, with Henry and Joy needing treatment so often why would they always come to this hospit
Wendy had long been planning to expand into the hospital sector but she had needed to keep a low profile. Without Chase’s help, it wouldn’t have been nearly so smooth.
“You were fired with my approval Wendy said slowly, watching Simon being dragged to the door. “I reviewed the surgery footage myself. If in wasn’t for the hospital’s reputation. I would’ve handed you straight over to the patient’s family instead of learing you stand here and screanm about injustice.”
Simon’s face went white, but he still cast a resentful look at Chase
“As for Mr. Chase’s appointment, Wendy continued I signed off on that too. Based on evaluations from both the school and the hospital. I believe Mr. Chase is more than qualified for the position. Dr. Simon, you’re just an ordinary person. You probably don’t even understand whan it means to be a genius in the medical field.”
Ordinary people would never understand how naturally Chase excelled–or how much effort he put in behind the scenes.
After being so firmly crushed, Simon had nothing left to say and was dragged our.
“Cloud Hospital will be going public next year.” Wendy said to the board. “The council’s influence will be significant. Everyone, prepare yourselves.”
After the meeting, Chase was about to leave when he risked a glance at Wendy, only to be caught by her gaze–and instantly rooted to the spot.
Wendy smiled. “Mr. Chase, please stay behind. Regarding Simon’s case I need you to prepare a full report. Stay and tell me everything. And leave your laptop here.
Everyone else gave Chase sympathetic looks, but no one realized how thrilled he actually was
“This is the first time I’ve seen you working seriously,” Chase said, striding over to Wendy He picked up a strand of her hair and kissed it lightly. “You’re so sexy when you’re being serious. Wendy was charmed by his directness and wrapped her arms around him.
“Why do you think I pushed you into this position?” Wendy said, arms draped over Chase’s
shoulders.

He instinctively glanced up at the security camera in the corner.
Wendy turned his head back with her hand. “Focus. I already turned the cameras off.”
“Madam Wendy, I thought you put me here because you recognized my abilities,” Chase whispered in her ear. “Not because of… pillow talk.”

They rarely had moments like this. Wendy always regretted that. Because of the Harrison family, she had to keep their love hidden. Only when it was just the two of them could she let it show.
In truth, she wished the whole world could know they were deeply in love.
