Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 82

Pearl had two operations this morning, and she kept busy until 1 pm. When she finally left the operation room, she was so tired that she couldn't even lift her arms. She then get changed and went to her office.

"Dr. Yonng, someone is waiting for you in the office."

Before she arrived at her office, she was stopped by a nurse at the duty desk, who then asked: "Is that your husband? He looks so handsome."

A name flashed across Pearl's mind. But she denied the thought in the next second. 

The nurse had met Richard before and she knew that his girlfriend was Adriana. 

She understood who the man was after she opened the office door. 

"Alex, why are you here?" Pearl greeted him. 

It was Alex, dressed in a refreshing blue casual suit. He tapped on the lunch box he put on table with his slender fingers and smiled, "Let's have lunch together."

Pearl's office was decorated in a very plain style. She had just resumed her job and was so busy that she seldom had time to have lunch in her office. She never even bothered decorating her office.

The food that Alex brought was home-cooked, which looked very yummy. 

"This is really good." Pearl commended as she ate. 

"My mother made this meal."

"Really? Her cooking is such good?" Pearl asked in surprise. 

"She's already retired and had a lot of spare time. She loves cooking and is always afraid that I don't have time to eat well at the hospital."

"Wow, I'm jealous of you."

"About what?"

"At least you have a mom who always takes care of you. My mother passed away long ago."

Pearl's mother had passed away very early in her life. Although her father took care of her and her sister in every possible way, he would sometimes miss out on a lot of details. 

Alex showed an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, it must have been tough for you."

"It's okay. It's already been so long." Pearl took a sip of the soup. "I don't quite remember her look clearly. I recall that she hasn't made my many meals."

Alex felt a little upset seeing her say that. "Why don't you come have dinner at my home in the future? I think my mother will be glad. When she was young she always said that she wanted to have a daughter, but failed."

"Haha, really? Sure!"

Hearing this, Alex smiled as well.

"Oh, right! What can I do for you? You are not coming just to have a lunch with me, right?" Pearl asked after she swallowed the food in her mouth.

Alex put down his fork, took out a contract from his bag and said, "Dr. Morgan lets me give this to you."

It was an offer of teaching at the Ocpeace Medical University.

Pearl wiped her hands and took the contract. "So soon?" She asked. 

Dr. Morgan had just mentioned it last Saturday, while the contract was already prepared within just two days. 

"Because he thinks you're talented and he wants to make sure other universities don't get to you first. Students tend to think older professors are boring."

"I have checked the details for you and there is no problem. The working hours are quite flexible, as per a lecturer's standards."

"Okay." Pearl took a pen on table without another word and signed her name on the final page of the contract.
