Chapter 17: Trying Something New

In the company, everything was just as he had expected. The news from the hospital had spread everywhere.

He had just reached the office, didn't even have time to warm his seat, and Gabriella Dyer came over.

"Alexander, what's going on at the hospital? How could you be so careless? With your status, is there any woman you can't have? Just tell me, and I'll find one for you."

"You got involved with a nurse... and moreover, a married nurse, a woman with a husband. If this reaches your father and grandfather's ears, what will they think of you?"

"You just returned from abroad, and I had a hard time convincing your grandfather to let you join the company to participate in investments. And now you cause such a scene. Oh dear, you really are giving me a headache, child!"
