Chapter 24


    “That man,” the colleague whispered when they had put some distance between themselves and the couple.


    “That’s the boss of Paramount Corporation. He is young and sessful, and still holds so much promise. | really envy Dr.


    Griffith. She’s so Lucky to have scored such a man.”


    Cam didn’t respond.


    The colleague continued to prattle on. “How can someone be so perfect? Not only is he rich and good at business, he is also


    handsome and charming-”


    “How do you know he’s all that?” Cam finally interrupted. “For all we know, he might be a pervert.” She thought back tost


    night, and the way he had strangled her and thrown the most vile insults at her. The word pervert wouldn’t even begin to cover


    what he was.


    Her colleague burst out Laughing.


    It went without saying that Debora had risen among the ranks by virtue of her association with Isaac. Everyone who worked in


    the hospital attended her farewell party, and all the tables in Section B were upied.


    Cam and her colleague entered the function hall. They were about to head toward the table in the far corner when the hospital


    director raised his hand and stopped her. “Cam! Pleasee and sit with us.”


    Cam turned to find Isaac staring straight at her. She fixed a polite smile on her face and made to decline the director’s offer.


    “I''m sorry, Sir, |-”


    “Come on.” The director easily brushed aside her refusal and pulled her to an empty chair.


    She had no choice but to join them in their table, though she made sure to keep her head down.


    The director wasn’t done yet, however. He leaned close and nudged Cam with his elbow.


    “You and Debora go all the way back to university, right? Now that she is off to the Military Central Hospital, you should offer her


    a toast.”


    “She doesn’t drink,” Isaac cut in without warning.


    A hush fell over the table as they nced between Isaac and Cam. How did he know that she didn’t drink?This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Cam herself was taken aback. She finally raised her eyes and met Isaac’s teasing gaze.


    Her hands balled into fists under the table.


    What was the bastard up to now?


    Debora sensed that something was amiss, but she decided to ignore her hunch. She told herself that she must have


    misunderstood Isaac’s meaning.


    “Well, as doctors, it isn’t good for us to indulge in alcohol. Our patients’ lives rest in our hands, after all.” Debora had a demure


    smile as she Looked at Cam. “Cam and | have always shared a good rtionship. | will surely miss her when | leave.”


    Just then, Isaac’s phone rang. He didn’t bother excusing himself and just answered it at the table.


    The caller said something, to which he replied that he understood before promptly hanging up.


    As soon as he put his phone away, Cam’s phone rang. She nced at the other guests and pressed the answer key. It was


    Stevie Cooper, the trusted butler that served Isaac’s grandfather.


    “Good evening, Young Madam. Pleasee to the Johnston mansion right away. Mr. Johnston wants to see you.”


    “| see. Okay.”
