Betrayed and Dumped: She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 75

“It’s not for me,” Rebecca said. “I brought my mom in for a follow-up.”

Paul glanced over and spotted a middle-aged lady who looked a lot like Rebecca. He nodded. “Alright.”

Neither of them said anything after that. The silence stretched between them, heavy and awkward.

Rebecca finally broke it. “Sorry, I’m going to grab some water.”

“Alright.”

She figured that made things clear. She was leaving, so they didn’t need to keep talking. But when she turned away from the vending machine with a bottle of water in her hand, Paul was still there, standing right behind her.

Rebecca frowned. Maybe she hadn’t made herself clear enough.

Even though she’d worked in sales for years, Rebecca had always been gentle by nature, never pushy. She didn’t want to cause a scene, so she dropped her voice and tried again. “Bruce and I broke up.”

Paul nodded. “Yeah, you mentioned that last time.”

He clearly wasn’t getting the hint. Rebecca decided to be blunt. “Since Bruce and I broke up, there isn’t really anything left to say between us. If we run into each other again, let’s just pretend we’re strangers.”

Paul pressed his lips together. “Are you job hunting? If you want, you could join Larson Group. You can set your own salary.”

Rebecca blinked, caught off guard. She hadn’t expected Paul to offer her a job. Noticing her surprise, he smiled a little. “I know what you’re capable of. Honestly, it would be Larson Group’s honor to have you.”

The compliment was nice, but she had no intention of accepting. She shook her head. “Thanks, but no.”

“You’re turning it down because you want to avoid any awkwardness?”

“No, it’s just that I already found a new job.”

She felt a bit stunned and honestly flattered. It was usually almost impossible to get an appointment with this expert, but here he was, being so approachable.

After leaving the exam room and heading downstairs for the prescription, Rebecca suddenly realized she’d left the medical file upstairs. Samantha said, “Go get the paperwork. I’ll wait in line for the medicine.”

Rebecca dashed back upstairs. As she reached the door, she overheard the chief doctor on the phone.

“Paul, I took special care of the patient you mentioned. Even gave her my personal contact. Put in a good word for me with your grandparents, will you?”

So that’s what was going on. It was all because of Paul.

Now it made sense. This connection was actually helping her mom, and Rebecca wasn’t about to turn down something that would keep her mom healthy.

After thinking it over, she sent Paul a message.
