The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 8

As soon as she hung up the phone, Tessa turned her gaze toward Randall.

After Tessa's call, Randall figured out what was going on and said, "You want me to take care of Matthew, right? No problem. I'll find an opportunity to rough him up on Xavier's behalf.

"What's more important right now is our partnership with the Carters. I have a contact at Wealthwave Group. We can go meet him tomorrow."

As Tessa nodded in agreement, she found Randall more likable the more she looked at him.

He understood her needs and proactively took action to address them. Moreover, Randall's connections were far-reaching, even extending to someone at Wealthwave Group.

Matthew really paled compared to Randall.

She subsequently felt like leaving Matthew for Randall was the best decision she had ever made. As she thought of that, her mood suddenly brightened.

…

On the following day, after Matthew dropped Lorraine off at kindergarten, he made his way to Wealthwave Group.

Before leaving, Lillian had repeatedly reminded him to be more proactive and to sweet talk a little, saying that Rachel was a lovely young woman.

In order to appease Lillian, he had readily agreed to it.

Yet, deep down, he knew that it was impossible for him to do so. After all, Tessa had left him heartbroken, and he was hesitant to fully commit to another woman again.

He had no intention of going out of his way for Rachel.

As for marriage, he would leave it to fate.

…

Meanwhile, in the president's office of Wealthwave Group, a trace of unease momentarily marred Rachel's typically impassive demeanor.

It was as if a faint crack had appeared on the surface of a frozen pond.

"What should I do, Tracy? Matthew is such a lecherous man. When I first met him, he tried to undress me. And now, we're meeting up again. Although I'd rather not deal with this kind of person, I need something from him, so I can't just kick him out."

Tracy was not only Rachel's secretary but also her best friend. She comforted Rachel, saying, "You should bear with it for now. If he tries anything funny, I'll give him the boot before you can blink!"

As she spoke, she waved her fist in a warning gesture, appearing quite ferocious.

Seeing this, Rachel felt a little more at ease and asked, "What kind of work are you going to arrange for him?"

Tracy was troubled as well, saying, "Since we're a pharmaceutical company, we don't have many positions that would suit a doctor. Maybe he could be your chauffeur?"

Rachel's face twisted in revulsion. "Come on, I don't want to share a ride with him! What if he loses control while he's driving? Isn't that just inviting trouble for myself?"

Tracy chuckled and said, "You're already an adult, yet you haven't even experienced what it's like to be with a man. How about taking this opportunity to have a bit of fun?"

Rachel immediately blushed. "Oh, you! What are you going on about?"

Tracy replied with a smile, "You can pretend all you want, but I can see right through you, Rae. You've been wanting this all along, right?"

Rachel playfully raised her hand as if to hit Tracy. "You little minx! You're the one thinking about men, yet you're trying to pin it on me? You're asking for a beating!"

Tracy shrank back a bit and said, "Alright, alright, I'll drop it. Let's get back to business. As for Matthew's position, I still think he should be your chauffeur.

"If you want to see him, have him drive you. If not, you can simply take another car. You're the one who decides whether or not you see him."

After pondering for a moment, Rachel nodded. "Alright, we'll go with that arrangement."

Before long, the elevator doors opened with a ding. As Matthew stepped out of the elevator, his eyes landed on the president's office. He proceeded toward it without hesitation.

When he arrived at the door, he noticed that Rachel was completely engrossed in writing something.

She was wearing a suit and had light makeup and alluring red lips. She appeared poised and professional, radiating even more confidence and beauty than the day before.

After standing there for quite some time, Matthew was still unsure of how to break the silence.

Rachel glanced up by chance and spotted him. A brief look of surprise flickered across her face before it hardened into an icy mask. "Oh, you're here."

Matthew murmured in agreement and walked into the office. After taking a seat across from Rachel, he followed Lillian's advice and tried to sweet-talk her.

He initiated the conversation with a flattering remark, saying, "You look absolutely gorgeous today."
