Chase nodded as well. “Now that the hospital’s going commercial, I’ve been stressing about what to do next. I don’t understand stocks or any of that. With Melody around, I can focus on surgery without worry”
“You’re still doing so many surgeries right before the holidays?” Wendy asked.
Chase looked helpless. “Birth, aging, illness, and death don’t take breaks for the holidays. I may be a doctor, but I still wish no one ever had to be sick.”

A doctor’s job was to balance life and death. And Chase was among the best.
Wendy turned to another topic, “I’ve signed with Henry. He’ll be at the company a lot these days. Did you see the trending search today?”
How could he not?
As soon as Henry signed with Quinn Group, he flooded the media with announcements. Every news outlet was talking either about the partnership or about their personal history. What drew the most attention, of course, was the couple that had been separated for years.
But after all those years apart, they were now reunited only through business.
Henry was divorced with a child. Wendy was already married.
At the same time, Zynn had mobilized the PR team, pushing a narrative that Wendy and Chase were happily married and implying there was no way Henry could come between them and no chance of reconciliation.
It was all a ploy to provoke Henry into making a move.
Sure enough, within a week of the partnership, Henry’s visits to Quinn Group sharply increased. The paparazzi camped outside caught the scent of gossip.
They snapped plenty of shots of the two leaving together.
“All planted by Henry’s PR team. Just ignore it,” Wendy said.

Chase smiled, “It’s fine. I’ve come to understand your public relations strategies. I won’t be bothered

Wendy raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean ‘won’t be bothered‘? You should care about me, but not what others say.”
As the year drew to a close, Quinn Group’s staff were working overtime to meet the Harrison Group collaboration deadlines. People left the office with dark circles under their eyes, cursing Harrison Group under their breath.

After all these years, would anyone still recognize Mario’s face?
