Chapter 287 - Handing over the CLP Group of Hospitals

After the dinner, J and Jacob's group decided to leave the log house. J's two-days off is over and tomorrow, she will be back in the CLP Hospital not just an OR Nurse but the wife of the CEO. Some might castigate her for hiding her identity, others might mock her for being just a nurse finding a handsome CEO as a husband while some might be envious of her. But she doesn't care. Who cares what others think of her? All she wanted is to do her job peacefully and for them to treat her the way they treated her before. She doesn't want any special treatment.

J and Jacob left in the bulletproofed SUV with Arthur on the driver's seat and James on the passenger seat while Felix and Stefan were leading them in their motorbike. J is far from getting used to this kind of entourage but she just chose to not mind them making it less irksome.

After they exited the gate surrounding the whole of the Society's headquarters, Jacob asked J. "What do you think about it?"

J turned her head and looked at him with a furrowed brow.

"Do you want to take over the Society?" Jacob asked her directly as he move closer to her.

J stared at him impassively. "Do you want me to?"

Jacob smiled then he reached out for her hand. He watched as their hand intertwined, Jacob played with the tips of her fingers sending tingles in J's spine.

He raised his head and looked at J's eyes. "If you want to, I will support and protect you with my life. If you don't want to, then I'll take it over for you..." Jacob paused for a while studying J's engrossed reaction. "To be fair, I will hand the CLP Group of Hospital over to you."

His last words came as a surprise to J. She didn't expect him to make such a bold suggestion. Or is it a suggestion? She continued to gaze at him.

James who was sitting in the passenger seat in front of them was startled. He became conscious, his future became uncertain. James thought internally. If Miss J will take over the CLP Group of Hospitals, would that mean that he will become her right-hand man? Then how about Arthur? James turned to look at the driver's side. Will he become Dr. Jacob's right-hand man? Arthur was trained to be an agent and not as an executive assistant.

But to Arthur, there is nothing that he could not do. After all, as a right-hand man, means that you have to be able to do whatever that is asked of you. So, he was not apprehensive at all.

J was in a daze for a moment until she snapped back. She glared at Jacob and said, "Are you playing with me?" Of course, why would he let an outsider take over a family business. Has he gone mad?

Jacob laughed affably then he pinched J's cheeks. "Of course, not!"

J raised her brow at him.

"We've announced our marriage already. Next, I will announce to everyone that you owned 20% of CLP Group of Hospitals. If I step down on my position as CEO, with your 20% plus my shares, you have all the right to assume the position of CEO." Jacob said ecstatically.
