Chapter 53


    Then Meredith found that her hair was twined on the button of his shirt. She had moved a little just now


    but almost tore off a bunch of hair. She almost cried for the pain.


    "Wait, I''ll remove it." Meredith''s face was burning so badly that all she wanted to say was that this damn


    hair really messed her up by winding on his button.


    Derek did not move, allowing her to do what she wanted to.


    But Meredith had to keep her head down in case of pulling her hair. Thus, she groped for a long time in


    vain, only rubbing his chest left and right. Thus, she was so ashamed and wanted to escape.


    "Are you removing your hair or taking advantage of it?" Derek was touched by her hands, which were


    so soft as if they had no bones. His eyes were filled with eagerness.


    Did she do it on purpose?

    "No, I... I can''t see it clearly..." Meredith wanted to give up. "How about cutting it off with scissors."


    Derek looked at her, whose ears were so red as if they were about to blood. His slender fingers


    reached out and dealt with it casually. Miraculously, he easily pulled out her hair, which Meredith could


    not remove before.


    "Do you still insist that you are not intentional?" Derek said with a teasing look.


    "I..." Meredith was dumbfounded. She saw the rare rxed expression of the handsome man and felt


    the warmth of his embrace on her body. She felt impetuous and said, "I''ll go out and found out what


    happened."


    Derek looked at her fleeing back and smiled more happily.


    Then, he thought of something else, so he stopped smiling and called Damian.


    "Take the person whoes from the Howards out of the hospital."


    Derek''s eyes darkened and his tone was callous.


    He was annoyed by Leo''s unpleasant words, so he had to teach Leo a lesson.


    "Isn''t that... not good? After all, Xavier Group is cooperating with an entertainmentpany of the


    Howards."


    Damian was embarrassed and he didn''t know what the boss wanted to do all of a sudden.


    Derek frowned, remembering that Xavier Group did intend to work with the Howards to make inroads


    into the entertainment industry.


    "Take me to thepany. I want to reexamine the risks of this coboration."


    Derek thought for a moment and then directly decided.


    When Damian heard it, he felt bitter. They almost made a deal in the n. Why did he stop?


    When Meredith returned to the ward, Derek had already left. Looking at the vacant room, she felt


    empty suddenly.


    But soon, Meredith shook her head again. Was she still fantasizing about Derek''s apanying her


    for another night?


    It was too sentimental to think of that just for his one visit.


    ...


    Meredith stayed in the hospital for a night. On the next morning, she directly went through the


    discharge formalities in case that she would invite troubles after meeting Leo.


    After talking with the doctor for a moment, Meredith walked out with some medicine to recuperate her


    body. A car from the Xaviers was already outside the door.


    She had nothing to do if she returned, and she had already taken a few days off. She would feel sorry


    for the sry Mr. Xavier paid her if she did not go to work, so she went straight to the Xavier Group.


    Back on the exclusive floor for Derek, she took a look at his office. He was not there, and she didn''t


    know if he had gone out for work.


    Meredith felt a little disappointed. But then she couldn''t help shaking her head and patted her cheek.


    What happened to her recently... In the past, she would only be scared and nervous to meet Derek.


    She had wished that he was not here. But now she was not ustomed to his absence all day long for


    being busy.


    In order to avoid thinking about these messy things, Meredith quickly found a lot of work to do by


    herself. When she got busy, she would not think about other things.


    A morning passed soon. During the lunch break, Meredith went out with other people to eat dinner in


    the dining hall. Suddenly, someone approached her and grabbed her arm. "Come over here, I want to


    ask you some questions!"


    Meredith turned around and found that it was Leo again...


    Why was he keeping follow her now? Didn''t Ava teach him a lesson that day?


    Meredith''s face darkened and she said indifferently, "I''m sorry, I''m going to have lunch. I am not


    avable for you."


    "No, you have to listen." Leo was furious. "Was it you who ask your supporter to be against Howards


    and transfer my grandfather from the hospital?"


    He had intended to argue with Meredith in the morning. But he was informed of transferring his


    grandfather to another hospital before he left.


    His grandfather was in a private hospital that had the highest level of medical care in J City. And it


    demonstrated the patients'' social status to receive treatment in a VIP ward here.


    Not to mention that Old Master Howard was ill, how could the Howards agree to transfer him? They


    had said all the good things about the hospital but in vain. No matter what, they were told to transfer


    Old Master Howard immediately. Moreover, they were told that someone at the top level had given the


    order.


    The only people Leo had offended recently were Meredith and the man who kept her.


    "Nonsense!" Meredith had no choice but to see that everyone had already left. She would have nothing


    to eat if she waste so she wanted to get rid of Leo. But he held her arm tightly and it seemed that he


    would not give up easily.


    "So what? Aren''t you great? Can''t you handle it?"


    Meredith was too upset to struggle. Since Leo was about to make a scene, she would like to see what


    he wanted to do.


    "Meredith, I really didn''t expect you to be like this. How humble are you to acquire money and power at


    the price of your body! You are so proud now. Which old man are you relying on?"


    Leo was thest person to see Meredith smug. Thinking that she might have been sleeping with a man


    in the hospital to cause troubles for him, he felt bad as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at his heart.


    Meredith looked at him indifferently. They regarded her as such a woman who would sell her body by


    any means?


    However, she also disdained to pester such a scumbag. "Yes, so what? He''s much better than you. At


    least I won''t be chased out of the hospital. Leo, you''d better think about how to arrange for your


    grandfather rather than talking with me here."


    A sh of anger shed in Leo''s eyes. It was quiet there. People who rushed to and from work all left


    for a long time, so no one noticed them.


    "Is he better than me? How do you know before trying to stay with me? Well, break up with him, maybe


    I can make you my lover. It is much better for you to stay with me than an old bald man with a beer


    belly!"
