Not Again Mr Whitney novel Chapter 17

The restaurant near the hospital was overpriced by always crowded.

The two of them finally found a seat and sat down. Then Rita kept staring at Calvin.

Calvin was a little uncomfortable, “What? Is there something on my face?”

“I suddenly found you quite strange. I wanna take a closer look and see if you’re still the same old Calvin.”

Calvin smiled, “You’re exaggerating.”

“I’m exaggerating? Ever since you married into the Houston family, you’re always hanging around the kitchen. Since when did you study medicine?”

Before Calvin answered, Rita stopped him, “Stop saying that you’ve read some books. I know what books we have. None of them mentioned the Soul Hook.”

Calvin was thinking fast. Rita was clearly suspicious about him and he had to find a way to muddle through.

“Actually, I signed up for some online classes and I learned everything from there.”

“Online? You really should think twice before you lie.”

Calvin said hastily, “I’m serious. Look.”

He pulled out his phone and found the website that he came across two days ago. There were all kinds of expensive online classes.

Rita tried hard to see the screen, which was completely shattered.

“I told you to change your phone and you wouldn’t listen. So you don’t take my words seriously now?”

Calvin was feeling guilty, “Of course I do. But my mom...”

Rita glared at him. He always used his mother as an excuse.

She threw the phone back to him and grabbed another one from her purse, “It’s my backup phone. You take it.”

Calvin looked at it and found that it was the newest iPhone. And it was brand new.

“This is a backup phone?”

Rita raised her eyebrows, “What? You don’t want it? Then give it back to me.”

“I want it but it’s a little too expensive.”

Calvin was touched. Rita was a kind woman even though she never revealed her feelings. Think about it, she really did a lot for him.

She gave him more than ten dollars so he could afford his mother’s treatments. If it weren’t for her, Shirley would have died a long time ago.

“The treatment you gave to that man might be able to be explained. You’re lucky that you cured him. Or else do you know what kind of trouble you’ll make?”

Calvin was playing with his new phone and he said casually, “No, Miss Bentley is really nice. She is pretty and kind. If she was cold-blooded, she would definitely leave that man there to die.”

He didn’t notice the atmosphere had changed.

“In your view she’s so great?”

Calvin finally realized he made a mistake.

“In my view? Why would I think that? I was just trying be a hero. But you are the only woman that I care for.”

“I don’t buy that.”

Rita sipped some tea and used the teacup to hide her smile.

“Alright. Just eat. After the meal, go back to the Houston’s Clinic with me.”

Calvin was surprised, “The Houston Clinic? We’re not bidding anymore?”

Rita shook her head, “You saw how fierce the competition is. I thought it would be a great deal but now it seemed unworthy. Let’s just give it up.”

“But I don’t want to give it up!”

“What are you saying?”

Rita’s voice sounded grim and she leaned over.

She was wearing some makeup today and looked quite lovely.

She wore a pink suit and a white blouse. Her heaving bosoms was revealed by the V neck which made her neck look elegant and slender.

From Calvin’s angle, he could saw her breasts.

He unconsciously felt quite thirsty and he still couldn’t hold back his feelings after all these years.

“Rita, this is the first job your family has ever given me. I want to do it well.”’
