She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 507: What Else is There Besides Being Beautiful
Chapter 507: Chapter 507: What Else is There Besides Being Beautiful
Hope Williams’ clear eyes flickered, easily noticing the stiffened expression and resistance in Elias Patel’s eyes.
She indeed needed a capable assistant, and clearly, if Elias Patel could stay by Waylon Lewis’s side just like Thomas Hughes, her abilities must be remarkable.
But seeing the resistance in Elias Patel’s eyes, she wasn’t fond of forcing people, so she spoke, "Of course, Miss Patel, if you are unwilling, it’s alright, no pressure."
Compared to the Lewis Clan, her small company was nothing, so it was understandable if Elias Patel was unwilling.
Elias Patel’s eyes showed conflict, but her expression quickly returned to normal.
Waylon Lewis also noticed the hesitation in Elias Patel’s eyes, and Hope Williams tugged his hand, signaling not to insist.
Waylon got the hint and said, "If you’re unwilling, that’s also okay, you can go back and continue managing the Z city project."
Elias Patel’s eyes flickered as if weighing the situation, and soon said, "I am willing to help the lady."
Hope Williams raised an eyebrow, surprised by the change in Elias Patel, "Are you sure, Miss Patel?"
"Yes, as long as the lady doesn’t mind my slowness."
Hope Williams glanced at Waylon Lewis and smiled slightly, "Miss Patel is being modest."
Elias Patel responded with a smile, "From now on, just call me Elias, madam."
"Alright."
"Then Boss, if madam has no objections, I will leave first." freewёbnoνel.com
Waylon Lewis, "Hmm."
Elias Patel walked out, leaving only Waylon Lewis and Hope Williams in the office; Hope Williams lifted the lid of the lunch box, "You should eat now."
"Alright." Waylon Lewis picked up the chopsticks and ate leisurely.
"Has it gone cold?"
"It’s alright."
Hope Williams sat quietly beside him, watching him eat. Seeing the fruits on the coffee table, she picked an orange and slowly peeled it.
"Are you satisfied with the person you’ve chosen?"
Hope Williams, while eating the orange, said, "Happy, of course, the people you choose are naturally capable, and I just happen to need an assistant, of course, I’m satisfied. But Miss Patel has always been with the Lewis Clan, now going to my modest Ansen, isn’t it a bit of a waste?"
"She is indeed capable, touches all sides of business. At your place, she will also be a very good assistant, don’t worry about wasting resources, Ansen has a lot of things going on now."
Hope Williams paused, turned her head to look at him.
Waylon Lewis almost finished eating, put down the chopsticks, and picked up a tea cup from the side, gently sipped a mouthful.
Seeing Hope Williams not talking, he put down the tea cup, pulled her arm, and held her in his embrace, "What’s wrong?"
Hope Williams leaned against Waylon Lewis’s shoulder, pushing their distance a bit further, "Waylon Lewis, this is the first time I’ve heard you praise a woman like this."
Waylon Lewis chuckled softly, "The first time? Don’t I usually praise you?"
"Except for me."
Waylon Lewis’s eyes twinkled with mirth, "So, are you jealous?"
Hope Williams dodged his gaze a couple of times, "Not really, just a bit curious about Miss Patel."
Waylon Lewis smiled, "Really not?"
Hope Williams tugged at her lips, not looking directly into his eyes, "Really not."
Waylon Lewis noticed her expressions closely, chuckled softly, "Lying."
"... have you finished eating? If you are done, I should leave, I need to go to the hospital soon, I was thinking of asking for leave during this pregnancy period as with so many things going on here, and over there at the hospital where I am a surgeon primarily performing surgeries, it’s really frustrating not being able to operate. Might as well handle things here during this period, and once I deliver the baby, I can go back to work at the hospital normally."
Waylon Lewis very much wished she could rest more and not overwork, naturally he had no objection, "Okay, don’t work too hard, if it really becomes too much, I can send someone to manage Ansen for you; just focus on resting well, I can support you."
"No way, You, President Lewis, of course can support me, but I don’t want to rely entirely on you, I also need to have my own career." Hope Williams said with her beautiful eyes sparkling.
Waylon Lewis cuddled in and affectionately rubbed her cheek, "Okay."
"Then I’m leaving."
Hope Williams stood up, grabbed her bag, and waved her small hand at Waylon Lewis.
Waylon Lewis watched the woman’s light-footed figure fading away, his eyes filled with amusement.
Hope Williams exited Waylon Lewis’s office and walked toward the elevator. Elias Patel slowly approached her, "Ma’am."
Hope Williams nodded slightly, "Are you also heading downstairs?"
"Yes."
Hope Williams entered the elevator. Elias Patel followed and said slowly, "Ma’am, I still have some work to hand over here, so I will report to your place in a couple of days."
Hope Williams naturally understood that the work required time for handover, hence she nodded, "Okay."
After speaking, the elevator quieted down, and the two stood side by side, Elias Patel’s presence matched Hope Williams.
Neither spoke. The elevator felt somewhat awkward. Hope Williams calmly broke the silence by asking, "Miss Patel, how many years have you been working at Lewis Clan?"
Elias Patel smoothed her hair and replied, "Like Thomas Hughes, I’ve been following the Boss from the start. It’s been about ten years since the Boss joined the company."
Ten years! Certainly not shorter than the time she had known Waylon Lewis.
"Ma’am, how long have you known the Boss?"
Hope Williams thought about it, from the time Elder Lewis brought her home to meet Waylon Lewis, it was also close to ten years.
Hope Williams smiled, "About the same as Miss Patel."
Elias Patel nodded slightly and said indifferently, "I see. Having been by the Boss’s side for so long, yet the Boss never mentioned you, so I didn’t know about you before."
Hope Williams’s eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, "I’ve also never heard Waylon mention Miss Patel."
Elias Patel turned to look at Hope Williams’s face, raised her eyebrows, her smile unchanged, but her eyes flickered with admiration.
She had to admit that Hope Williams was beautiful, the kind even women would find appealing.
Yet, the Waylon Lewis in her eyes was not a superficial person. She wondered what skills this woman possessed, other than being beautiful, that made such an excellent man like him fond of her.
In the past, she had seen women around Waylon Lewis. Joy Ward was one of them, but she was nothing but a bimbo, never amounting to anything substantial.
She had always thought a man as perfect as him surely had no match among women.
And now unexpectedly, there was one. Waylon Lewis could even break his own principles for this woman!
Envious? It was impossible not to be.
"What is Miss Patel looking at?"
Hope Williams’s voice drew her back to reality. She withdrew her gaze, smiled gently, "Ma’am is really beautiful."
But besides being beautiful, what else is there?
Elias Patel laughed in her heart.
Just a beautiful shell. Eventually, men will grow tired of it.
"Thank you." Hope Williams said casually, nodding her head.
At that moment, the elevator doors opened.
Hope Williams walked straight out.
"Where is Ma’am heading? Do you need a ride?"
"No need, I drove here myself."
Elias Patel politely nodded, "Then take care on the road, goodbye."
