The assistant replied with a cheerful smile and gestured to the two trucks behind him. “Yes, Ms. Fuller. <b>I’m </b>honored that you still remember me. Mr. Lawson asked me to deliver these as a housewarming gift for you.”
The two trucks were loaded with various potted nts and trees<b>, </b>all meticulously grown. All of the greenery was undeniably rare and valuable.
Felicia raised an eyebrow, finding Mike rather amusing. His information was impressively fast; he even knew she had moved<b>. </b>Moreover, he specifically chose a gift that was considerate, generous, and wouldn’t cause misunderstandings.
Hence, there <b>was </b>no reason to refuse <b>his </b>gifts.
“Move them in.”
<b>Ouce </b>the pots were arranged in the <b>otherwise </b>empty yard, they added a touch of vibrant color to the serpent and elegantyout.
After Mike’s assistant lett, Felicia prepared to head out <b>as </b>usual. However<b>, </b><b>the </b>interruption dyed her, and she still hadn’t sent off her delivery.
Just as she was about to take care of it, she received <b>a </b>call from the clinic. An urgent patient required her to be there.
Recently, Union Clinic had expanded the team to include more than eight highly skilled seasoned physicians.
Many said Felicia was heartless or monopolizing talent. After Maurice burned Harmony Medical Center down to the ground, she recruited several renowned medical practitioners for her own clinic<b>. </b>
Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have contacted her unless the patient was particrly difficult to treat.
As Felicia hurriedly prepared to hail a cab, she realized a very serious issue. No cabs were avable in an area like this.
She had chosen this vi for its tranquility when she purchased it. While it wasn’t on the city’s outskirts, it also wasn’t in a bustling area. Waiting for a cab to pass by could be quite a challenge.
Though <b>Felicia </b>could drive, she didn’t have a license. Hence, she never bothered buying acar.
Now, it seemed she would have to buy a car <b>soon </b>
While mulling this over, Felicia pulled out her phone to book a ride. Just then, a Lincoln pulled up beside her<b>, </b>and the window was rolled down halfway to reveal Maurice’s amused face
“Get in. I’ll give you a ride<b>.</b>”
Felicia was speechless and could feel his ill intentions from looking at his face.
Choosing to ignore him, she stood by the roadside waiting for her ride, which was just two minutes away. Not once did she spare Maurice a nce. novelbin
However, Maurice didn’t get upset. Instead, he <b>casually </b>gestured for his men to puncture the cab’s tites when it arrived.
Felicia turned around, her temper ring as she red at Maurice and asked, “What do you want?”
“Get in. I’ll give you a ride.” <b>Maurice </b>repeated himself, smiling with unrestrained mischief.
As for the unfortunate driver, he was quickly silenced by a wad of cash that was handed over by Maurice’s subordinates. Judging by his reaction, he seemed more surprised by his unexpected windfall <b>than </b>upset.
Felicia let out a frustratedugh. She knew <b>Maurice’s </b>audacity well enough to understand <b>that </b>he would continue to sabotage the cars no matter how many she booked. Left with no choice, she grudgingly got into his car, swallowing her frustration
Satisfied, Maurice snapped his fingers, and the Lincoln smoothly started moving toward the address Felicia had provided.
Finally<b>, </b>they arrived at Union Clinic, and Felicia got out of the car. Maurice didn’t make any Inappropriate moves the entire journey, as if his only intention was truly to give her a ride.
Felicia was dumbfounded as she was unable to make sense of his behavior. Then, she pointed to the clinic’s sign and <b>asked</b>, “Why don’t youe in and register <b>for </b>an appointment?”
<b>Maurice </b>burst intoughter, doubling over with amusement. He fixed his intense gaze on her, his brown colored eyes deepening with emotion. With a <b>sly </b><b>curve </b>to his <b>lips</b>, he countered, “Can <b>you </b>cure any illness?”
“Not really,” Felicia grew uneasy under Maurice’s meaningful state. His gaze was so intense that it made her scalp tingle. Dropping the pretense of subtle jabs, she turned and entered the clinic.
Only after the barer of walls shielded her from his gare did Felicia finally feel a sense of relief<b>. </b>
