Javier finally understood the doctor’s contention. Long story short, he thought Javier was being a megalomaniac. Or maybe the doctor thought he was coveting Selena’s beauty and was puffing himself up so he’d look like a cool Chad to earn her favor.The thing was, why would Javier even need to puff himself up into this larger-than-life character when he was already a larger-than-life character?!Of course, at the very least, Javier knew the doctor was simply doing his job because he cared and wanted to protect his patient. He was not going to shout at someone with a heart like that. “Look, doc. I know you mean well, but regardless of whether you believe me or not, now is a good time to process the patient’s transfer. Just let me clear any outstanding fees owed to your institution, please. We’re waiting for a jet, anyway. There’s ample time left. Then we won’t have to abuse the patient’s time when the helicopter arrives just to finish the paperwork.”The doctor, however, was steadfast
Javier had gone straight to the airport after taking care of the hospital affair. He had no plans to stay in Medb any longer.While waiting to board, he decided to lie down for a bit before realizing the seat next to him was occupied by a young woman in a black cap. The large pair of shades and mask covering the rest of her face complemented her getup. She was wearing a white short-sleeved t-shirt with a print of Princess Peach paired with denim shorts.Judging by her fashion sense alone, she seemed to be a beautiful young thing. Javier could not understand why she would cover herself up this tightly on a hot day.He thought about it for a while and realized why. While the girl cast a side-glance at him, her profile reminded Javier of a celebrity. Specifically, a celebrity who used to be all the rave before she’d suddenly been banished from the scene—Edelgard Weiss.The more he considered her overall features, the more her appearance matched the celebrity’s.He took out his phone
The two of them chatted for a bit more before the departure gate opened.Javier was not taking the same flight as Edelgard, so he got up to bid her farewell and board with his flight ticket.“Bye-bye!”After waving goodbye at him, Edelgard kept her eyes on Javier’s retreating back. She thought that he would probably turn around a few seconds later and ask for her contact information to keep in touch. She had already given it some thought too, and she would give Javier her Messenger handle. After all, this man, who did not treat her like a celebrity, seemed decent. She was at ease chatting and interacting with him.In reality, though, Javier did not even turn around once while he queued up at the departure gate.Edelgard kicked her luggage harshly and muttered under her breath, “What kind of man are you? I already thought about it and decided to let you add me on Messenger, yet you can’t even be bothered. Ugh, how infuriating!”Javier truly did not intend to ask for Edelgard’s con
It had never once crossed Javier’s mind that he would meet Edelgard in Xerxes Village when they had just met that one time.What he found odd was that Edelgard had a bamboo basket filled with grass on her back. Judging by the scythe she was holding, she was obviously the one putting the grass in the basket.Javier was surprised and he suspected that this person was not actually Edelgard but a doppelganger. Nevertheless, Jade asked at the same time, “Isn’t that film star Edelgard Weiss?”Javier nodded in surprise. “I think so. I met her in the capital airport previously and even chatted with her. She looks like she’s wearing the same clothes as when I saw her too, but why is she holding a bamboo basket and cutting grass?”“You two have…met?”Javier broke out of his trance when he heard Jade’s pointed question and asked with a chortle, “Why, are you jealous?”“No.” Jade shook her head.Javier did not say anything but rolled down the car window as he drove by Edelgard’s side.Befo
Javier, Jade, and Edelgard went out shopping when they arrived at Xerxes Village and then felt slightly tired. The one most affected was Javier, who had not been able to even shut his eyes the entire night, while Jade had managed to take a nap in the car. Initially, Javier had his guard up against Luca, but he then realized that Jade was quite close to the villagers. Plus, Luca seemed to have placed all his focus on Edelgard, which ultimately made Javier lower his guard. Javier finally managed to find somewhere to lie down thanks to the chief’s arrangements, so he immediately dozed off and woke up around noon. The moment Javier opened his eyes, he instinctively thought that he had been kidnapped by someone.‘Where in the world am I? There’s no roof above me, and there are even rats dancing about. Even the windows have a few broken panes, which are covered in cobwebs.’After a while, Javier recalled that he was in Xerxes Village. He had not gotten a proper look around in the
Javier finished his lunch under Luca’s hostile gaze and went around the village with Jade leading the way. Edelgard was not with them because she had to teach the students, while Luca obviously followed her. While Javier and Jade were walking around, Jade said, “I think Edelgard and Luca have something pretty good going on. It doesn’t seem like Luca’s in a one-sided relationship right now. Judging by their conversation, I believe Edelgard was the one who told Luca where she was of her own accord.”Javier chuckled. “Are you trying to tell me I shouldn’t miss her?”Jade rolled her eyes. “What are you talking about? You’re free to miss whoever you like. What I’m trying to say is that Edelgard’s a pretty nice woman, so you shouldn’t lay your hands on Luca no matter how much of a jerk he is. You should try to tolerate him on Edelgard’s account.“Didn’t you see how heartbroken Edelgard was when you slammed his head against the table just now?”Javier understood what she was trying to
‘What the f*ck?! Why is Javier reacting so differently from what I anticipated?! He added 120,000 dollars just now, so by right, he should only be adding 240,000 dollars, yet he went directly all the way up to 300,000 dollars instead. Most importantly, I can’t pay five times 240,000 dollars, let alone 300,000!‘Five times 300,000 dollars would be 1.5 million dollars…Where the f*ck am I supposed to get that kind of money?!‘My dad would have it, but he’s definitely going to beat me up if I actually ask him for it!!!’After pondering it for a while, Luca, who was unable to yell that he was going to donate 1.5 million dollars, became furious.“This is f*cking unfair! You purposely set a trap for me! You’re only going to donate that small amount of money, while I’m already going to donate close to 3 million dollars!”Javier sat next to the table and chuckled as he looked at Luca. “Did I force you into this, though? Did I hold a gun against your head and ask you to donate five times wh
Luca immediately jumped up in shock when he heard the voice. “M-Miss Gould?!”Despite being the son of the owner of Easton Group, Luca wasn’t afraid of his father the most. No matter how strict or fierce his father was, he was still his son at the end of the day, so there was a limit to how far his father was willing to go. Instead, Luca was afraid the most of Mary Jane, who was the CEO, as well as a woman who would even reprimand his father as though he was an absolute lowlife. On top of that, when Luca used to work in the company and was caught by Mary Jane for any reason, she would teach him a harsh lesson every single time, so much so that Luca’s father would end up grounding him at home for three whole months. Therefore, now that he heard Mary Jane’s voice, Luca felt so frightened that he could not even walk properly. He had absolutely no idea who Javier was and how he was able to get such a terrifying woman to handle the situation! However, Luca knew one thing for sure
