The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 11

Rachel was taken aback. Matthew had just asserted they were in a relationship, catching her completely off guard.

She had never been in this situation before. Was Matthew staking a claim on her?

Rachel's face flushed with embarrassment and a touch of annoyance. She was only doing this for Fred's sake and didn't want rumors spreading that she was supposedly involved with a pervert like Matthew.

Her delicate features glowed with a hint of anger. "You didn't have to announce our relationship to everyone."

Despite her anger, her beauty softened her words, giving her a coy, almost playful demeanor. It was a captivating sight.

Larry's jaw dropped. He had always seen Rachel as the icy, unapproachable president. In fact, many employees often wondered if she ever smiled.

Now, he witnessed a different side of her that seemed softer and more vulnerable. It dawned on him that Matthew might really be her boyfriend.

The thought was almost unbelievable—a mere driver dating the billionaire president? It was hard to fathom, but the scene unfolding before him left little room for doubt.

Realizing the gravity of his actions, Larry's face turned ashen. "Mr-Mr. Grant, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize who you were. Please don't hold this against me."

Regret flooded over Larry. He had unknowingly provoked Rachel's boyfriend. This was a complete disaster!

Matthew's tone remained cold and biting. "Just moments ago, you were telling me to get lost."

Larry trembled with fear as he slapped himself across the face. "I was blind and ignorant, Mr. Grant. I failed to recognize who you were. I was a fool! It was all my fault. Please, forgive me."

His self-criticism rang out with each resounding slap.

The three security guards were now painfully aware of their mistake. They scrambled to apologize as well.

"Mr. Grant, it was all Mr. Scott's doing. He was the one who demanded we chase you away. Please don't be angry with us. We beg you, don't fire us."

They enjoyed generous benefits at Wealthwave Group, including comprehensive insurance and housing schemes, along with higher-than-average pay for security guards. The thought of losing such a job was unbearable.

Larry had just given the order to have Matthew chased away, and now he deeply regretted his actions, desperate to salvage his position.

After regaining her composure, Rachel turned her icy gaze to Larry. "Larry, what exactly is happening here?"

Larry stuttered, struggling to find the words to explain.

Matthew recounted the events, and Rachel's anger boiled.

"Larry, I'm shocked at how you've treated our employees. If everyone else had leadership skills like yours, this company would be doomed. You're fired. Finish up the paperwork," Rachel ordered.

Though Larry wanted to protest, he knew Rachel's decision was final. Thus, he left, feeling utterly defeated.

Rachel then addressed the three security guards sternly. "As for you three, you are employed to work for the company, not as anyone's personal henchman. You guys are fired as well. Go to HR and process your terminations."

The three guards, who were bruised and now fired, cursed their luck.

Once everyone had left, Rachel turned to Matthew. "I never expected this to happen. Please don't get me wrong. I might see you as a bit of a troublemaker, but I would never condone my staff harassing you. I hope you can trust me."

Whether Fred recovered or not depended on Matthew's treatment now, and Rachel feared he might leave in anger. She couldn't bear the thought of losing Matthew at such a crucial time.

Matthew harbored no doubts about Rachel, especially since he had seen Tessa and Randall leaving Larry's office earlier. He figured they must have influenced Larry somehow.

Matthew smiled. "I trust you."
