Chapter 87 An Arrogant Woman

"Why did you come to find me, Timothy? Please have a seat!"

Timothy sat down on the sofa, and Elena made him a cup of coffee and placed it in front of him.

"Well, you have a nice working environment. I didn't expect that right after graduating, you would be able to obtain such a high-level position."

Just casual words of praise, but Elena felt a slight uneasiness. She always felt like she got in through the back door.

"It's just doing some simple work, really!"

Timothy's gaze glanced over the books she had been reading, and a faint smile hung on his lips.

"Well, as long as you enjoy it. I've been asking around during this period, trying to find a suitable hospital for you in England. But now it seems like you're doing well here and probably don't want to go over."

Elena only smiled. Of course, she wouldn't go over.

"Timothy, I-"

"I'm sorry, I can't attend Annie's funeral! But I will pray for her."

"That's fine. Take care of your mother."

"Oh, by the way, Timothy, what brings you to S City this time?"

"Oh, I came here for a lawsuit incidentally. Never expected to run into you at the gym!"

With a sudden change of topic, Timothy asked, "How is Hassan treating you?"

Elena blushed. In her heart, this was an extremely embarrassing matter. "There's nothing good or bad about it, it's just something I've gotten used to."

"Actually, this lawsuit involves some black organizations. The police are currently searching for a list of terrorists, as some international terrorists have smuggled high-risk weapons into S City. If they launch an attack on civilians, innocent casualties will occur, and many families will be threatened..."

"High-risk weapons?"

"Yes, some biological weapons. They're colorless and odorless, but if they explode, they can cause widespread poisoning. Have you ever seen a horror film like Resident Evil? Well, those aren't fictional; there are indeed terrifying biological weapons in reality..." Timothy's expression was grave, filled with concern.

"Um, I've seen them. Where are these people hiding?"

"It's hard to say. These terrorists are extremely cunning. They disguise themselves as civilians, hiding among different citizens. The police are unable to identify them. If someone can provide a list of their names, the police can capture them all at once."

Elena listened with confusion. This matter seemed to have nothing to do with her. Out of courtesy, she nodded.

"Then you need to be careful and take care!"

"Thank you for your concern. I'll be fine. I just came to remind you that if you encounter any suspicious individuals, make sure to report it to the police, understood?"

Elena looked at him gratefully. Under Hassan's protection, no one would dare harm her. She was confident in this.

"Well, I won't disturb your work anymore. Call me whenever you have time!"

After seeing Timothy off, Chloe hurriedly approached.

She was wearing a fashionable pink dress, silver high heels, red nail polish on her fingers, a delicately made-up face, and her shoulder-length hair was dyed in loose, curly red waves.

"Elena!"

William wasn't around, and her tone was anything but polite.

Elena calmly glanced at her. "The dean is not here. You can wait in the conference room."

Chloe muttered, "I'll wait right here! Pour me a cup of coffee!"

Elena shrugged. "You can pour it yourself! I'm off work now!"

It was exactly half-past noon, and she was going to have lunch.

"Elena, why are you so arrogant? Don't forget, you're working for my boyfriend now. Me asking you to pour a cup of coffee is doing you a favor. Do you believe I can make you leave right away?"

Elena looked at her with amusement. "He's just a boyfriend! It doesn't mean anything."

"It's your husband; Mayo Clinic belongs to William, not you! Please don't be so domineering."

"Elena, what do you mean? Do you think you still have a chance? Our families have been close for generations, and the marriage between William and me was silently approved by both families from a young age. This hospital will eventually be mine, whether you believe it or not..."

Elena shrugged her shoulders. "Then come find me when you become the hospital director's wife!"

Ignoring her, Elena grabbed her backpack and went out to eat!

Chloe was furious, how dare this woman act so arrogantly? Chloe sat on the couch playing with her delicate nails for a while, then walked into the lounge. Suddenly, she saw several black strands of long hair scattered on the pure white pillow. This small bedroom belonged to William, where he napped every noon. Why were there strands of a woman's hair?

Damn it, it was Elena's! She must have lured William, that despicable woman!

Chloe became extremely angry at the thought of the two of them being affectionate with each other.

Holding onto the hair, her beautiful face twisted with anger.

"Chloe, what are you doing in here?"

William's voice sounded behind her, and Chloe turned around with a flirtatious smile on her face.

"William, are you off work? Let's have lunch together!"

William sat down at his desk.

"No, I don't have time for lunch today!"

Busy organizing documents, William paid no attention to Chloe standing beside him. "William, I already reserved a spot."

"Forget it! I have to go to the airport in half an hour!" William couldn't be bothered with Chloe. "Have you seen Elena?"

"Yes, she just went out with a man, looking very intimate." Chloe exaggerated.

William furrowed his brows lightly, wanting to say something, but in the end, he remained silent. Chloe was extremely disappointed; she thought William would be furious, but there was no reaction on his face.

"William, Elena meeting a man during working hours is very detrimental to the hospital's reputation. You should fire her." Chloe was full of jealousy.

"Chloe! Don't speak ill of Elena anymore! She's my assistant, she's here to help me with my work. Stop spreading these pointless rumors." William warned seriously.

"I didn't, if you don't believe me, look at the surveillance footage, then you'll know if I'm lying or not."

"I don't have time to argue with you now. Whatever Elena does, it's her own business and has nothing to do with you."

"William, you..." Chloe was extremely angry.

"I'm going to Japan for a while, I should be back tomorrow afternoon. Tell Elena to go home and rest in the afternoon."

"Shall I accompany you to the airport?"

"No need, my driver is waiting outside!"

William busily prepared his documents.

Looking at Elena's office for a moment, Chloe hurriedly left. Chloe followed closely behind him as they walked out.

After finishing her lunch and returning, Elena saw Chloe still sitting in the office, leisurely with her legs crossed, diligently fixing her beautiful nails.

"You're finally back!" Chloe complained discontentedly.

Elena glanced at her coldly and went back to her office, not wanting to engage with her.

"William is going to Japan. He'll be back tomorrow afternoon. You need to take care of the work while he's away."

"He's going to Japan?" Elena looked at Chloe, puzzled and somewhat skeptical.

"Do you doubt me? If you don't believe it, try calling his phone. Oh, right, it's probably turned off now because he's already on the airplane."

After Chloe finished speaking, she gently blew on her freshly manicured nails, stood up, and walked over to Elena.

Looking left and right, she suddenly chuckled, "Tell me, have you ever slept with him in there?"

Pointing her chin at the rest area, Elena nodded calmly, "Yes!"

Chloe's expression turned cold and fierce, and she was about to slap Elena, but Elena caught her hand.

"You shameless bitch!" Chloe widened her almond-shaped eyes, angrily cursing.

Elena grabbed her hand and forcefully pushed her away, then picked up the phone from the desk.

"Security office? Could you please come here? I'm the assistant to the dean, and there's a crazy woman in the dean's office disrupting our work. Please come and handle it."

"Elena, how dare you!" Chloe was furious. Elena was going too far by summoning security to remove her!

Elena coldly stared at her, "I have been polite to you before because you're the dean's girlfriend. But if you continue to act unreasonably, I will find a lawyer and sue you for harassment."

"Elena, you've gone too far!"

"Assistant, where is the insane woman you mentioned?"

When the security arrived, all they saw in the dean's office were Elena and the dean's girlfriend; they didn't see any crazy woman.

Elena shrugged and pointed at Chloe, "Get rid of this woman. She's been screaming here this whole time."

Chloe was furious. Elena even compared her to a dog.

"Elena, I'll make sure you pay for this."

"Ma'am, please step outside. The assistant needs to work now."

Despite being William's girlfriend, Chloe wasn't a hospital employee and didn't have the right to stay in the hospital. The security politely escorted Chloe out.

"Fine, I'll leave then. Sooner or later, I'll make the dean fire all of you..."

Chloe's voice was sharp and piercing, with trembling fingers angrily pointing at Elena and the security guard. Elena closed her eyes silently, shaking her head in silence.

Chloe stormed out, furious.

With William absent, Elena continued to steal moments to read in the midst of her busyness.

Time passed quickly, and it was already 6 p.m. Elena packed her things and prepared to leave.

"Open a hospital," she said.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside.

"Director..."

A nurse shouted loudly from outside, causing Elena to frown and walk out. "What's the matter? Speak slowly!"

"Is the director here? There's an emergency patient, but all the doctors have left, and I can't find anyone..."

"The director is not here. What kind of emergency?"

"It's a car accident victim in urgent need of stitching surgery. We don't have enough staff right now. What should we do?"

"I'll come with you and take a look!"

In her urgent state, Elena didn't think much and followed the nurse outside.

Outside the emergency room, there were several patients' family members, crying and panicking. Elena couldn't spare the time to comfort them and went straight into the emergency room.

Inside, there were already two nurses and a doctor. The patient was lying on the operating table, with the doctor's back facing her as he cleaned the wound.

"Elena is here!"

Julia turned around, her smile somewhat cold. "Assistant, it's the end of work hours and mealtime. Doctors couldn't be temporarily arranged, and the director is also not here. Can you please help me for now as my assistant?"
