Chapter 668 You''ll Have A Hard Time With Her
Without saying anything, Wesley took a cigarette from the pack and a lighter from his pocket. He was
going to have a smoke after he led Ga to the ground floor.
"She has cancer! Her parents passed away a long time ago. And now you make her feel like dog-doo.
What if shemits suicide? What then?" Ga continued to confront Wesley since he stayed silent.
Strangely enough, she never expected herself to be a good girl. Why should she be on ir''s side?
She loved Wesley, but she was now persuading him to care about ir.
"She doesn''t have cancer," Wesley said simply and walked into the elevator first.
Ga was stunned by his words. Quickly following him into the elevator, she asked, "Okay, I''m
confused. If she doesn''t have cancer, does she know? And if she does, why lie about something like
that?"
"That''s my point. I''m teaching her a lesson. She''s still recovering, but decided to y the pity card. I''m
not falling for it." He talked to the nurse who told ir she had cancer, and Zaria, the doctor. It was then
that he found out Zaria was actually a friend of his mom''s.
ir had gone too far this time. He had to teach her a lesson. Did she know how worried he was? She
probably raised his blood pressure a few points.
Ga sighed helplessly. "You both deserve each other. Did you see how angry she was? You''ll have a
hard time with her."
"Not really," he announced with determination. He had almost lost it when he was told about ir''s
cancer. She''d never know what a monumental effort it was to act as normal as possible. He was close
to the edge, and only through his willpower was he able to keep it together.
''Not really?'' Ga wondered in disbelief. She threw a nce at the expressionless man. That man
was impossible. She knew he liked ir, so what had he nned? He wouldn''t go too far, would he? It
would probably break his heart to see ir sad. Even Ga herself felt her heart ache for ir. If it
were bad for Ga, it had to be far worse for Wesley.
In the following two days, ir hadn''t seen Wesley even once. Adalson and Natalia came to pick her
up the day when she was discharged.
Before she left the hospital, Cecelia called her. "ir, how''s everything between you and Wesley? Did
our n work?" the mother asked excitedly on the other end.
ir paused for a moment. She didn''t want to worry her, so she lied, "Yeah. It''s working."
Cecelia glowed with joy as she heard the good news. "I knew it! I''m a genius! Baldwin didn''t trust me
and said Wesley wouldn''t be fooled like that. Humph! Now that I won, he''ll never hear the end of it! Oh,
by the way, how are you feeling?"
"The doctor said I''m fine now. Nothing serious. I''m checking out now. Thanks, Aunt Cecelia."
"d to hear it. I''lle visit in a few days. I have some things to finish here."
"Okay. Thank you."
"Don''t be so formal with me. Get some rest. Call me if you need me."
"I know. Bye, Aunt Cecelia."
Adalson drove ir back to Eastern Coastal Apartments. She hadn''t been back to this apartment in the
past ten-odd days. Her uncle and aunt didn''t stay long and left after an impromptu Q and A session.
When she was left alone, she scanned the spacious apartment, sadness filling her heart. Wesley was
nowhere to be found. It had been a few days since she''d seen him. Well, there was no point in staying
here. In a gloomy mood, she packed her luggage and headed to a hotel.
No sooner had she checked in than Wesley got wind of it. Still, he stayed away. He didn''t call or visit.
ir still wondered if she had liver cancer, so she went to another hospital to get a second opinion. She
had just filled out the paperwork to see a doctor when she received Wesley''s message. "You don''t have
cancer."
ir was greatly taken aback. But then she realized what was going on. Wesley saw through her
deception, and decided to trick her in return. In a fit of anger, she crumpled the registration form in her
hand and tossed it into the bin.
After she walked out of the hospital, she had wanted to call Wesley and give him a tongueshing. Did
he know that she lost sleep and weight over this? She was so worried about what this meant for her
own life, she had no appetite and was too stressed to get any real rest. But in the end, she decided
against calling him. After all, she lied first. She was the one to me.
So even though she was angry, she had no choice but to just bury it.
No matter why she lied, she knew it was wrong. But he was wrong too. And even if she did lie, did he
have to make a public disy of his affection for Ga? Right in front of her? He even broke up with
ir and announced it in front of Ga. Wasn''t he going too far?
All these thoughts were banging around in her skull. She thought that Wesley owed her a huge
apology. And even then, she might not forgive him.
They weren''t really dating. He wasn''t her boyfriend. Still, a part of her hoped he woulde crawling
back and be genuinely sorry.
If Wesley came for her, it meant that he had her in his heart. She would forget about what he did
before. It wouldn''t matter anymore. ''But if Wesley doesn''t even call me, then...'' ir bit her lower lip
and made up her mind. ''Then I''ll move into thepany dorm, and cklist Wesley...''
Spring was short in Y City. The weather got hotter as summer began.
Night gradually fell. ir changed into a long, pinkced dress with a slim waistline in the restroom at
work. She tied the sash with a bow at the small of her back. She was going to attend a dinner tonight.
Before she set out, she called Orion. "Hi Orion. I have to tell you something."
"What''s that?"
"When I visited TS Group the other day, I promised to have dinner with Mr. Kuang. I''m meeting him
tonight, and I hope you won''t take this wrong. I know they''re ourpetitors." ir didn''t want to be
thought of engaging inmercial espionage.
Orionughed. "Don''t worry. I know you. Just go for it. Or do you need me to drive you?"
"Thank you for your understanding. No need. I''ll hail a cab and get there on my own." She began to
walk out of the office as she talked with Orion on the phone.
"Okay. Can you guess why Mr. Kuang invited you to dinner?" Orion asked purposefully. Of course, he
knew the answer.
ir had thought that Mr. Kuang invited her to dinner just to thank her for her help. Now that Orion
asked, it suddenly dawned on her that Mr. Kuang might have some ulterior motive.
"I don''t know. I heard that Mr. Kuang values those who help him. I think it''s just a thank you invite. Don''t
overthink it," she replied.
Orion smiled and teased, "ir, just keep that in mind. I can''t leave you, and mypany needs you.
So, don''t go epting any strange offers, okay?"
ir took in his meaning. After a pause, she assured him, "I don''t want to work at a bigpany like
TS Group. You know that."
Orion heaved a sigh of relief. "Okay, I trust you. Take care. Call me if you need anything."
"Will do. Bye."
At the Orchid Private Club
Just as Wesley stepped into the club, a familiar woman standing in front of the elevator caught his
attention. With the help of a waiter, she walked into the elevator with a well-dressed man.
The elevator stopped at the eighth floor. Wesley''s eyes darkened.
''Why is she here? And who''s that guy? Why is she with him?'' he wondered.

He entered the VIP elevator and pushed the button for the eighth floor as well. Just as he stepped out
of the elevator, he saw the woman enter Room 822 with the stranger at the other end of the corridor.
Wesley stood rooted to the spot.
Last time when he knew she was at another hospital to get a second opinion, he sent a message to
her, telling her that she didn''t have cancer. He had expected her to call and throw a tantrum, or even
That was not like her. What was going on? Unable to read her mind, Wesley had been very annoyed at
this.
Gripped by anxiety, he turned to the waiter who had ridden the elevator with him, and said, "I want to
know who booked Room 822. It''s a matter of national security." It was a lie, but it motivated the waiter
to override any privacy concerns.
"Yes, Mr. Li!"
