Chapter 719 The Welcome Party

Cassie was sitting at the table by the window. She looked down from the 28th floor. The street was crowded with people. Sunlight bounced off the calm river nearby like a thousand stars swimming at sea. It looked magnificent and charming, which made Cassie lost in thought. Jamie, who was sitting beside her, nudged her with his elbow. She snapped back to her senses.

The dean stood up with a kind smile on his wrinkled face. He raised his goblet, the red liquid inside splashing against the side of the vessel like crimson ocean waves lapping on the shore. It looked pretty and enchanting against the light in the room.

"To all my dear doctors, you are the backbone of our hospital. We are here to welcome a newly joined member. You have already met her. Her name is Dr. Audrey Yao. She holds a master's degree in medicine from Oxford, an accolade that she attained at a young age. She also holds a doctorate in medicine from Switzerland University. She is indeed a young talent, but I believe that she will be able to fill the shoes of our former cardiology department directors like Mandy, Leo, and Jamie. I believe as well that Audrey will make an outstanding contribution to our hospital." The dean grinned from ear to ear, and the wrinkles on his face became more defined. He looked almost smug as if he had just won the lottery.

Casting a bitter glance at the dean, Cassie sneered in her heart. 'This woman's means are really superb. When Leo came back from the UK, nobody held a party for him like this. Now everything's grand and a big deal just because of Audrey. It's really unsettling.

Is there something going on between Audrey and the dean?'

Cassie could not help speculating as she watched the scene unfold before her. In her eyes, Audrey looked like someone who would seduce powerful men to get what she wants.

After t

k anymore."

"I'm fine. I can drink a lot. Let's continue drinking. But... I need to use the ladies' room first. Wait for me. I'll propose another toast when I get back," Audrey said. She seemed to be drunk, but her mind was still sober. It was all her acting.

Audrey had drunk a lot when she was working in Switzerland. She had always been good at pretending to be drunk. In order to make friends, the first thing one must do was to drink with people.

She stumbled into the bathroom.

She went into a cubicle and gave Leo a call.

After Leo and Milla got back from their honeymoon, there had been a cold war between them. Milla tried to get rid of Leo, but he refused. In the beginning, their marriage was just to achieve their respective goals. Now that their goals had been achieved, Leo found that he had already fallen for her.

Leo discovered he had feelings for her, perhaps after her miscarriage.

Under pressure, they had no choice but to have a baby, but they lost it. Milla felt depressed for a month after the miscarriage. She did not know why she felt so sad. She did not marry Leo for love, but things happened one after another. They were not supposed to fall in love with each other, but they did.
