Chapter 1066 A Deep Cut
Narissa ignored him and went around his car, but then she saw Jamie walking toward her. After a small moment of hesitation, she got in Paul's car. "Klorov Hospital."
"Got it. Buckle up." Paul let go of the clutch and drove away.
Narissa looked in the side mirror. Jamie was slowly turning into a speck. She leaned to the side and rested an elbow on the window, her head held by her hand, and she spaced out.
Paul stole a glance at her and started a conversation. "It's in a remote place, that hospital. Why do you want to go there? Is someone sick? Want me to introduce a doctor to you?"
"Please, will you shut up? I can't even hear myself think," snapped Narissa. How on earth can this guy talk so much?
"Sure, no problem." However, two seconds later, he said, "I know the breakup is weighing down on you, but you really need to vent things out. The best way to forget a relationship is to get into another one. I think I can be a good replacement."
Narissa shot him a glare and mocked, "Your whole R&D department got headhunted, and your company's share prices are plummeting. You should spend more time dealing with business instead of flirting."
"Aw, I know you care about me, but you don't have to worry." Paul grinned, not feeling angered at all. "I've thought about it. I'm no businessman, and this whole business thing is crazy. It exhausts me a lot. Someone in the company can take over. They're better at this than I am. I'll just split the wealth with Alicia fifty-fifty and live our lives to the fullest."
"I don't care what you want to do. Just stay away from me," warned Narissa.
Paul was a bit annoyed and amused at the same time. "Why do you hate me so much? I really like you. I truly do. I only neglected you because I wanted to see if I could run a business. And now that I know I can't, I'm back for you. I'm serious."
"I know you are, but I just don't feel it. Do you get me?" Oh my god, talking with him is a chore. It's like we're not even on the same wavelength.
"Why don't you feel it? I can change."
"Really? I don't like the fact that you like me, then."
"Really? I don't like the fact that you like me, then."
Paul shut up for a moment. "Sorry, can't change that. You're just prejudiced. I bet there are times you don't think I'm annoying."
"Yeah. When I don't have to see you."
That wiped Paul's smile away before he could even start to feel delighted. "Alright, I'm mad. Don't talk to me. I don't want to talk to you."
Good. Now I can hear myself think. Narissa rolled her eyes and rested her head on the side, then she closed her eyes.
Two hours later, they arrived at Klorov. It was a hospital in the southwest part of the city.
Narissa wanted to barge right in, but Paul took her to the reception. "You can't just run around like a headless chicken. Watch me. Excuse me, do you have any patient called Stenson here? We're his colleagues. Here for a visit."
"A minute, please."
