CHAPTER 100: CHAPTER 100: IMPRESSIVE MEDICAL SKILLS

Downstairs, in a tranquil restaurant, the lighting was a warm yellow, and the sound of rain pitter-pattered outside the window.

Adrian Lancaster and Ivy Jennings sat across the table from each other, with several signature dishes spread out before them, steaming hot with a scent that filled the air, and two bowls of rice were already served.

They held chopsticks in their hands, eating their meal.

The lines of Adrian Lancaster’s face were as haughty as European nobility.

He made no sound while eating, even when drinking soup, radiating elegance from deep within.

Ivy Jennings, now in a light blue dress and having changed her earrings, sat poised across from him, her expression as soft as if she were on a date with a beloved man.

Every now and then, she glanced up to look at him, hoping that this wonderful time would slow down.

Imitating his manner, she ate silently too, though her heartbeat increasingly sped up.

Adrian Lancaster remained silent, and Ivy Jennings couldn’t find a topic, somehow, when alone with him, her mind went blank.

"I have a video meeting this afternoon, if there’s nothing particularly important, you don’t need to look for me." When Adrian Lancaster put down his chopsticks, he said to her, then picked up a napkin to gently wipe his already clean lips.

"Okay." Ivy Jennings also had work to attend to, "I saw the forecast says the rain won’t stop until seven in the evening, it’d be better to enter the village early tomorrow morning."

"Mm."

Adrian Lancaster stood up and left, Ivy Jennings sat in her chair, staring at that tall, slender back, feeling a bit lost. Is he going to meet Faye Turner?

The fact that he brought Faye Turner over, yet didn’t invite her to dine together, what does that mean?

Or was it... that Faye Turner came by herself?

Ivy Jennings began to doubt her previous judgment, was it possible that Faye Turner came on her own?

The rain outside continued without stopping, Ivy Jennings suddenly felt upset.

Adrian Lancaster returned to his room and was indeed in a video meeting.

Moreover, he had to sign an important contract online, drafting the agreement himself in real time for the other side to see.

He used the software skillfully, and within about three seconds, the computer screen switched more than ten times, very quickly, because this was the input of basic information, to be verified later.

In many aspects, Adrian Lancaster was extremely professional.

After the video meeting ended, Adrian Lancaster took his robe, walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and started unbuttoning his shirt, preparing to take a shower.

When he removed his shirt and unwrapped the bandages on his arm, to his surprise, he noticed that the wrinkles around the scars didn’t look as hideous as before, clearly improving a lot.

Just a few applications of medicine, and the effect was already so astonishing.

Adrian Lancaster stared at his arm, a spark in his eyes, rarely feeling exhilarated inside.

That girl’s medical skills are quite remarkable!

Half an hour later, Adrian Lancaster finished his shower, came out wearing a white bathrobe, the damned man’s charm exuding at all times.

It got dark early on rainy days, and outside was already dim.

Just as he finished drying his hair, the room door was tapped.

He instinctively thought it would be Faye Turner, so he quickly opened the door, only to see Ivy Jennings standing outside.

Ivy Jennings clearly noticed the man’s expression change slightly, seemingly a bit disappointed.

"Um..." Ivy Jennings smiled, holding neatly folded clothes in her hand, "The water pipe is broken in my room, can I take a shower here?"

Adrian Lancaster thought this was simply ridiculous!

His handsome face was somewhat rigid, but before he could speak, another voice came—

"Secretary Jennings, why don’t you come to my place for a shower?"

Ivy Jennings turned to the voice, only to see Faye Turner leaning at the door, smiling warmly, saying to her, "It’s definitely inconvenient at President Lancaster’s place, after all, he’s married, and with your superior-subordinate relationship, if a reporter found out, who knows how they would spin it."

Though Ivy Jennings kept a smile, she was truly furious, wishing she could kill that wretched girl!

Yet she had no choice but to turn and walk towards Faye Turner, "Thank you." The voice was pleasant, but the gaze she cast was truly icy and fierce!

"You’re welcome." Faye Turner stepped aside for her.

After entering her room, Ivy Jennings headed back toward Adrian Lancaster, "I want to talk to you."

"Just right, I have something to discuss with you too." Adrian Lancaster turned back into the room, and once Faye Turner was inside, she shut the door.

Ivy Jennings returned to the door, watching this scene, feeling quite troubled inside.
