Marriage Games with a Charming CEO novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60 She Saw His Secret

Alicia was feeling a mix of emotions.

Seeing that Alicia didn't respond, the secretaries kneeling outside the door began slapping themselves as self-punishment.

While slapping themselves, they apologized to Alicia.

"At the beginning, it was indeed us who spread the rumors."

"At that time, we were not happy that you suddenly became the acting CEO, so we secretly said a lot of bad things about you."

"Now we all know we were wrong, can you forgive us?"

"Ms. Casey, Ms. Casey, please withdraw the lawsuit! We really don't have the money to fight a legal battle, and if we have this lawsuit, other companies won't dare to hire us."

"We're sorry! Please, please!"

Alicia irritably pinched her brow.

She called Edmond, but he didn't pick up. She assumed he was busy, so she called Josh Leslie, the lawyer who sent the letter.

Josh simply replied, "Mr. Agos said that as long as you accept their apology, the lawsuit can be withdrawn."

It took Alicia the whole morning to resolve this farce.

...

As lunchtime approached, Alicia's phone alarm went off, reminding her to go to the hospital to bring food to Edmond.

Before getting out of the car, she took out a mirror and touched up her lipstick.

After getting the food at the Hospital Canteen, she went straight to Edmond's office. As she passed his department's front desk, she overheard a few nurses gossiping to each other.

"It's the first time I've seen him being scolded."

"Dean Grimes must be very angry. Mistakes are not allowed in this kind of minor surgery. Dr. Agos is so unlucky."

"I thought he would be promoted next quarter, but now it looks like he's in trouble."

Normally, Alicia wasn't interested in gossip. But for some reason, she clearly heard the title "Dr. Agos".

She frowned and approached the nurses to interrupt their gossip.

"Excuse me, what are you talking about?"

The nurses were startled by the sudden voice. When they turned their heads, they saw a beautiful woman in a black professional suit standing in front of them. They felt that this woman looked familiar.

One nurse immediately recognized Alicia.

"Oh, it's you. Hi. Are you here to bring lunch to Dr. Agos again? But Dr. Agos doesn't accept..."

"You were talking about him. What happened to Dr. Agos?"

The nurses looked at each other for a while before explaining the situation.

"In the morning, there was a minor surgery that was originally assigned to Dr. Agos. However, while he was in the operating room, he suddenly had a muscle cramp and couldn't hold the surgical knife steady. Then, he handed over the responsibility of being the lead surgeon to an intern doctor in the operating room. Unfortunately, that surgery ended up being a failure."

Upon hearing this, Alicia changed into a rather serious look.

Since the morning, she had been sensing that something was off with Edmond's arm. At that time, he told her he was fine, and she believed him.

It turned out he was just putting on a brave face!

Another nurse added, "Um, I think it wouldn't be a good time to see Dr. Agos right now. He's in a bad mood, and you might get rejected if you go to see him."

Alicia completely ignored their advice.

Today, she was wearing red high heels. She walked into Edmond's office, but to her surprise, no one was inside.
