The Double Life of a Secretary (Leo and Megan) novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 

From Megan’s perspective, the story took a completely different turn. 

Over the course of several consecutive days, she accompanied Paul to various social events and engaged in discussions about their collaboration with Maria, Mr. Morgan, and several other minor partners. She was exhausted. 

Paul, being a boss who displayed far more empathy than Leo ever did, granted her two days off. 

On the first day, she enjoyed a restful sleep, and on the second day, she received an invitation from 

Vada Wise to meet at a bar. 

Vada said, “Our hospital has just welcomed a new cardiologist who is not only tall and wealthy but 

also incredibly handsome, with a hint of exotic allure! He looks just like Keanu Reeves. You have to come and join us for some fun!” 

Megan’s immediate response was to decline. “I’m sorry, but I need to visit the hospital to see my 

mother.” 

“Don’t worry. Your mother is doing fine. Just last night, she asked me when you and your boyfriend were planning to tie the knot and start a family. She’s really excited about the idea of having grandchildren!” 

Megan’s mother’s illness presented an almost insurmountable challenge to cure. At this point, their sole medical strategy was to focus on prolonging her life to the fullest extent possible. 

Fortunately, due to the substantial financial investment in medical expenses over the 

years, coupled with Leo’s invaluable assistance in locating top-notch doctors and caregivers, Megan’s mother’s condition had consistently remained stable. In fact, in recent times, there had been a gradual improvement, with her energy levels steadily increasing. 

Undoubtedly, Megan felt immense joy in witnessing her mother’s improved condition. However, she also experienced a sense of unease as her mother persistently urged her to get married. 

Megan empathized with her mother’s longing. With the loss of her father in the past and her mother’s current battle with illness, it became clear that her mother longed to see Megan create a happy family before her time ran out. In this way, her mother could find comfort in knowing that Megan would be surrounded by love even after her departure. 

However, Leo hadn’t been completely willing when he married her. Naturally, she couldn’t expect him to accompany her on visits to her mother. 

As a result, she had concocted a story about having a boyfriend to ease her mother’s concerns all those years. Yet, her mother had never laid eyes on this supposed boyfriend of hers. 

Vąda chimed in, “Keeping such a lie from your mother isn’t wise. Besides, you’re planning to divorce Leo soon, right? Why not take a leap of faith first? If you manage to win over this 

Get Borto 

cardiologist, we can introduce him to her. He’s tall, good-looking, and has an impressive career. I’m confident your mother will be pleased!” 

Megan wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about it, but if it meant making her mother happy, she was willing to make an effort. 

Early the next morning, Vada roused her from bed and assisted in styling her appearance. 

“This cardiologist grew up abroad. He prefers vibrant and outgoing women. You need to look stunning today! Once we make our entrance, you’ll leave everyone around in awe!” 

Vada selected a striking wine-red tube top dress for Megan to impress everyone. The dress, crafted from smooth silk, boasted a slim fit. It was remarkably short, hugging her hips and accentuating her slender, straight legs. Afterwards, Vada personally applied a bold makeup, painting Megan’s lips a captivating shade of red. 

Megan couldn’t help but feel that her outfit seemed out of her character. She wasn’t naturally vibrant, and it didn’t align with her temperament. 

But when she stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself, she found that it was surprisingly 

suitable. 

Vada was also very satisfied. “You’ve already moved on from Leo. Don’t dress like a college girl, imitating Tessa’s style. If you truly want to change, then go in the opposite direction!” 

Megan felt that Vada’s words made sense. 

By the time they arrived at the bar, many people had already gathered. 

The majority consisted of Vada’s colleagues, including doctors, nurses, and other medical. personnel from the hospital. 

Usually, within the workplace, everyone at the hospital was restricted to wearing white coat uniforms and refrained from using perfume or having elaborate hairstyles. However, on this 

particular casual occasion, it was evident that everyone had embraced a more relaxed and carefree atmosphere, a stark departure from their customary strict and cautious demeanor. 

When Megan made her entrance, it was akin to pouring cold water into a boiling pot of oil, creating 

an instant uproar. 

She had no acquaintances, so she sat in the corner next to Vada. Since she didn’t know anyone, she settled in a corner beside Vada. Meanwhile, Vada had become the center of attention at the gathering. Numerous people swarmed around her, eagerly seeking Megan’s contact information, predominantly men, of course.
