Chapter 165 - Relying on J's Capabilities

James immediately obliged and left the office.

Afterward, Jacob heard a faint knock on the door. "Come in."

Jacob was in a black mood since this morning and it is evident in his face specially when he is faced with the very cause of this mood.

"Please sit," Jacob instructed Stella with a cold tone.

The corner of Stella's lips turned upwards, she walked elegantly towards Jacob, but instead of sitting in front of him, she walked around his table and act as if she was going to sit on his lap.

But Jacob was quick to notice that. Before she could make a move, Jacob raised his hand and turn to look at her with a clenched jaw. "I thought you were smart enough to understand simple instructions."

Stella raised both her hands and said, "Okay... Okay..." with a mischievous smile. "Just don't get mad, okay?"

She walked back and sit in an armchair in front of Jacob's desk.

Jacob tensed his facial muscles, "Don't repeat what you did earlier at the Department of Surgery. And stop spreading rumors that you are my girlfriend. You of all people knew that that's not gonna happen."

Stella laughed coquettishly and said, "Jacob, last time I check, you didn't have any girlfriends or flings as of yet. So why are you mad that I kissed you?"

Jacob shot her an icy stare. "Whether I have a girlfriend or not I don't accept that kind of affection from you. From now on, stay away from me."

Stella looked hurt by Jacob's words. With her chin held close to her chest she asks, "Is there anyone?"

Without second thought Jacob replied. "Yes."

Stella's hands gripped tightly on her skirt making it crumpled. "Who?"

"That I cannot tell anyone yet," Jacob replied directly.

Stella smirk. "I'm not staying away from you unless you tell me who is she. You can't stop me." After saying that Stella turned to leave Jacob's office.

Jacob sighed in frustration and pinched the space between his brows. How troublesome. He thought. It would be easier to deal with this girl if J would just let him introduce her as his wife.

Stella is a spoiled daughter of the third largest shareholder of CLP Group of Hospitals. Although she is an OB-Gyne, her IQ is just an average. But it doesn't matter to her as long as she came from a rich family and have a beautiful face and body, she is sure to have a bright future in the next couple of decades.

When she left Jacob, she didn't return back to Lotus City immediately. She doesn't want to face the shame that Jacob gave her. Although no one knew that she was rejected by Jacob when they were abroad, if she returns alone it will already suggest that she was rejected. So instead of going back, she travels around the word to mend her broken heart and ego. When she heard that Jacob was back, she immediately booked a ticket back to Lotus City and pretended that nothing happened.

During those years traveling, she didn't practice her profession, yet the first thing that she did when she gets back was to do a C-Section. If it wasn't for J, she would have messed the whole operation. The truth was, she has already forgotten the step by step procedure, even the instruments that she should be using. Luckily, J was very knowledgeable and efficient. Based on a patient's situation, the doctor doesn't need to say what should be done, J already knew.
