Just as I was about to reveal that I'm the boss, Max walked in through the door, silhouetted against the light.
His expression was hidden, but his very presence was enough to strike fear in anyone from Crestview Metropolis.
His entourage of bodyguards trailing behind him was no joke either.
After all, he wasn't dubbed the "Grim Reaper of Crestview Metropolis" for nothing.
Yet, the guy with the gold chain nonchalantly sat in his chair, legs crossed arrogantly, a toothpick dangling from his lips as if he didn't have a care in the world.
"I run Evergreen Health Center. You got a problem with that?"
He gave Max a once-over, his disdain palpable. "I know you've got a stake in Evergreen Health Center, but someone else calls the shots there."
By now, Max had made his way to my side. It had been half a year since I last saw him. I thought I would be overwhelmed by sadness, reminded of the pain from our past lives.
But the last memory I had of him was his pale, injured face.
Today, he looked vibrant, each step he took resonated with my heart.
"Like what you see?"
Suddenly, he turned and gently pinched my chin. "It's been a while. I should take a good look at you."
He sure knew how to hold a grudge.
I smiled faintly, choosing not to speak.
Catching on to the situation, the gold-chain guy smartly stood up. "You should've just said you're the top doc and boss lady of Evergreen Health Center. Would've saved me the misunderstanding, almost stepped out of line here."
His voice trailed from behind Max. I peeked around Max, "I'm not the best, nor the boss. Just a doctor, that's accurate. How should I have answered you?"
