Chapter 155
After the conversation with Sadin Andrew that day, Selina became quiet for a while. Apart from giving Anna Stuat a fierce look when they occasionally met in the company lobby, she didn’t do anything extreme. Since the incident with secretary Xu, Selina’s admiration for Anna Stuat has reached its peak. She couldn’t even bear it when Selina gave Anna Stuat a sideways glance. Selina blocked Anna Stuat’s path and said, “What are you looking at?”
Selina was furious but helpless.
That afternoon, when she returned to her department, Sadin Andrew called her over for a lecture, telling her not to go to the president’s office often, or she would be fired if anything happened. Selina naturally didn’t accept it and argued back, not taking Sadin Andrew’s words seriously at first. But she didn’t expect to receive a call from Mrs. Andrew that evening after work.
Selina left the hall with a cold snort. Xiao Xu, her secretary, felt relieved. She made a face at Selina’s back and thought, “That’s what you get for being arrogant.” Anna Stuat shook her head helplessly and said, “Let’s go.”
As the assistant, Anna Stuat had to follow Philip Andrew, the head of Core Venture Capital, who was invited to dinner. She had just gone back to the company to pick up some things. She brought Xiao Xu along to train her as her successor.
Xiao Xu nodded and hurried to keep up with Anna’s pace. Philip Andrew’s car had been waiting in the parking lot for a long time. The driver was originally outside the car taking a breath. When he saw Anna and Xiao Xu coming over, he waved his hand and said, “Assistant Anna, over here!” When they arrived at the car to get in, Anna Stuat and Xiao Xu had a bit of trouble.
Normally, when going on business trips or traveling, Anna Stuat should have sat in the passenger seat, but now there was Xiao Xu, her secretary.
As Anna looked at the passenger seat, she was thinking about whether she should sit there first. Suddenly, Philip Andrew cast a cold glance at Xiao Xu.
Xiao Xu shuddered and quickly opened the passenger door and sat down. She turned around and smiled at Anna Stuat, saying, “Sister Anna, please sit in the back.” This was a joke. Even as a girlfriend or fiancée, Anna Stuat would not sit in the back. Should she let her intern secretary sit in the back with her boss in the front? With no other choice, Anna Stuat had to sit in the back seat. The car sped all the way, and she turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, her eyes getting a little squinty, starting to doze off. Suddenly, it seemed like there was an obstacle in front of them, and the car shook violently.
In a critical moment, Philip Andrew reached out his hand and pulled Anna Stuat towards him, his wrist exerting a strong force. Anna Stuat fell into his embrace instantly.
At her side was the familiar scent of cold cedar, as Anna Stuat buried her head tightly in Philip Andrew’s arms. Her nose was pressed against his chest and she found it hard to breathe, the darkness enveloping her vision. She squirmed a bit, trying to find something to hold onto for stability. Her hand fumbled about, landing on Philip Andrew’s leg, and with a crisp smack, the sound reverberated in the enclosed space of the car. The tension in the air suddenly became palpable.
However, Anna Stuat was still struggling and unaware of the situation until a low, hoarse voice whispered in her ear, “Don’t move.” She stiffened all over when she noticed the change in Philip Andrew and dared not move anymore. The two of them remained in that position, silent all along. After about five or six minutes, Philip Andrew finally released his grip slowly. Anna Stuat was able to free herself and she quickly moved back in her chair several times, creating a distance between her and Philip Andrew. She then held her chest and breathed heavily. After recovering, she turned to look at Philip Andrew and noticed that his face looked a little pale.
Anna Stuat’s face tightened and she immediately forgot about any awkwardness, leaning over and asking, “What’s wrong? Why are you so pale?” As she spoke, she noticed that Philip Andrew’s right hand was tightly clenched into a fist and resting on his right knee. His legs, which had not reacted until now, were shaking violently. Anna Stuat was startled and asked, “What’s going on?” Although the partition in the car had been raised, the people in front could still hear what they were saying very clearly. Philip Andrew shook his head slightly, indicating that Anna Stuat should not ask any more questions. He then looked up and instructed the driver in front, “Turn around and go to Carlson.”
Philip Andrew shook his head slightly, indicating that Anna Stuat should not ask any more questions. He then looked up and instructed the driver in front, “Turn around and go to Carlson.” The Carlson Hotel had a presidential suite that Philip Andrew had a long-term lease on. It was close to the company, and whenever Philip Andrew had to attend parties or work overtime, and didn’t have time to go back to Lishan Mansion or his old house, he would stay at the Carlson. Although the driver was doubtful, he had been following Philip Andrew for many years and was accustomed to executing his orders without question. Therefore, he didn’t ask any more questions and turned the steering wheel to change direction. They drove all the way to the Carlson Hotel, and Anna Stuat quickly pushed the wheelchair and took Philip Andrew to the presidential suite.
As Secretary Xiao hurriedly caught up with them and was about to step into the room, Anna Stuat suddenly stopped her and casually pulled out a piece of paper, quickly writing something on it. “You need to go to the nearest pharmacy right now and buy these medicines according to the instructions on this paper.” “Medicines? Is something wrong with President Andrew?” Anna Stuat’s eyelids twitched slightly, “No, it’s for me.” “You…” Secretary Xiao’s mind raced, “Your health isn’t very good, and you suddenly felt a strong palpitation just now. This is the prescription for the medicine I usually take. Just follow this prescription to the pharmacy and get the medicine for me.” Although Secretary Xiao still had doubts in her mind, she nodded and quickly went to buy the medicine.
Anna Stuat breathed a sigh of relief and slammed the door.
When she was writing the prescription just now, she deliberately did something. She didn’t write it completely according to her own prescription, but added a few medicinal materials on it, changing the dose of many medicinal materials.
In a word, it was hard to tell what kind of illness this prescription was used to treat.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Although Mr. Xu was trustworthy, Anna Stuat was used to doing everything in advance and keeping an eye on him.
After returning to the presidential suite, she had no time to ask Philip Andrew, “what’s wrong with your leg? What’s wrong with it? Why do you suddenly tremble so violently?”
