Chapter 77 - Invitations for dinner

"I wonder what he did that caught your interest? He is a good-looking man and a good catch but he is older than you and I heard that he is already married. And you are also married." Lance started to mock her although he knows that J would never be interested in that person at least not in a romantic way.

"He's married to Leticia Parker. The elder sister of Jacob and the CEO of Parker Pharmaceuticals. I met him at Parker's Mansion. When he heard my name, he looked aghast as if he recognizes me. I knew there is something about him and I wanted to know what that is. You have to get information about him as soon as possible. If he knew something about me, I have to do something about it before things become complicated." J said in a serious tone.

Lance knew that this could be a serious situation so he dared not to joke around and said, "Oh... Okay. I got it. I'll call you back as soon as I found something."

The next days past like usual. J went to her afternoon duty while Jacob has been out of town to visit the other hospitals under the CLP Group of Hospitals.

One of those days Diana called J and invited her to have dinner at the cafeteria of the hospital since they only have to sneak out from duty.

Diana told her about what happened between her and Leo. As well as their upcoming wedding. J was not surprised as she had already expected that but she didn't expect this to happen this soon. Knowing Leo and Diana, one is emotionless while the other one is fearful. Who knows how long will they be able to contain their emotions?

What surprised her the most is that it was Leo who made the first move to break the wall between the two of them.

There might be something that triggered him.

But nonetheless J was happy for Diana, after all the hardships that she had to deal with, she deserves to be loved and to be happy.

Although J was not surprised others were in shock, especially those who knew Diana and Leo. Everyone knew that Diana is aloof and always stays away from men while Leo never showed any interest with any woman before, although no one doubts his gender preference because he doesn't even show interest in men as well. It's only Simon who was able to talk to him indifferently. Nobody knows that the two of them had a relationship, so their marriage comes as a shock to everyone even President Martin.

That day Lily also called her to invite her for a dinner but since J is in an afternoon shift, she won't be able to leave the hospital until eleven at night so she regrettably rejected the invitation but later on said that she might be able to join her for breakfast or lunch. Lily who is usually busy during the day made a promise that she will find a way to make their girl bonding possible in the upcoming days.

Although they have only met for one day, J is exceptionally fond of Lily and felt that they will make a good buddy. It is rare for J to have someone of the same interest as her.
