Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 547

547 Go After Your Dream

With her eyes fixed on Alicia, Tammy asked, "You told my mother we're friends, right? You didn't say you were my assistant, did you?"

"| didn't say that because your brother didn't let me have the chance to say so," Alicia said, nodding

"Right, you can't tell my mother about this. My brother has been helping me to keep this secret. If my mother finds out, I'll be screwed."

"Is that why you used a fake name?" Alicia asked in astonishment

"Yeah. My name is Tammy Wright, by the way," Tammy said with a nod

"Alicia. I'm sorry, but | just mistook your brother for a p*****t. And | hurt him. He must hate me a lot."

"He won't." Tammy took a Coke from the refrigerator. She opened the bottle quickly and then sipped the foam. She then added, "My brother only cares about his work. Maybe he'll forget who you are the next time he sees you

Hearing that, Alicia froze for a moment, feeling disappointed

Awhile later, Anna and Matthew were already sitting inside Anna's car, heading for home. On the way, Anna asked Matthew while driving, "Tammy's friend is not a local, isn’t she? Are you sure she's a classmate of Tammy's?"

Matthew was silent for a moment before saying calmly, "She probably transferred from another school."

"By the way, how are you preparing for that racing competition?" Anna asked thoughtfully

"Almost done. I've already chosen the best player."

"Will he win?"

"| believe he will be able to place in the top three. After this competition, our car brand can access the domestic market. People will no longer believe those rumors this way." Matthew said

"What about Clinton's project? You're not going there anymore?"

"It's almost finished there, so | asked Aunt Maria to take care of everything."

Anna frowned, saying, "Maria is still there? Why didn't you ask her to help you with the competition here?"

"Well, | didn't ask her to come back. And the project there is quite urgent. So, | asked her to stay there."

Knowing that Matthew got this, Anna didn't ask too many business-related questions

A week later, as Christmas was around the corner, the hospital where Anna worked was busier than usual. While most of her colleagues had already got off work, Anna was still in the office on a video call with Patrick

Patrick said, "I've already dispatched the first batch of medication. So far, there have been no widespread adverse reactions. Yet, some people have reported mild vertigo and vomiting."

"How are these patients?" Anna asked

"They’re all elderly."

"Reduce the dosage when you give them the second batch of medication."

"Okay. How much should | cut?"

"Approximately 30%."

"No problem," Patrick scribbled in his notebook. "By the way, | heard from Dr. Moore that the American medical team is coming in a couple of days. When it comes to treatment plans, who should we listen to?"

"Really?" Anna frowned, realizing she had a problem. After thinking for awhile, she answered, "Don't worry, Dr. Moore will figure it out. Just focus on the drug trials, and don't tell anyone about this. If the American medical team arrives, you should stop the medication."

Shaking his head, Patrick asked, "Really? But you said they should take this medicine for at least three courses. Otherwise, our previous efforts would have been in vain."

"Safety first."

Just as Anna was about to say something else, the screen turned blank. "Patrick?" Anna asked, frowning. She looked down to see if there was an issue with her computer network, but their video call then was being cut off

At that moment, there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?" Anna asked, raising her head

"It's me. Mom asked me to bring you something to eat," he said as he pushed open the door and handed Anna a lunchbox

"Are you sure Mom asked you to bring this? Or did you use it as an excuse to bring me meal?" Anna asked, turning off her computer

"If you don't believe me, just give her a call and ask her about it," Wayne said as he placed the lunchbox on the table

Anna was speechless because she knew Jennie would say that she had asked Wayne to do it. Everyone in the family knew she didn't want
