Trapped with a Doctor -
Chapter 303 How They Enjoyed Playing Games with Each Other
Coincidentally, during Angela's stay in J City, the Yao Hospital was also preparing a ceremony to celebrate its centenary.
The Yao Hospital was founded by Arvin's ancestors. It was only a small clinic at the beginning, and it gradually developed into the joint-stock general hospital it was today.
As the present Director of the hospital, Arvin had to attend the ceremony.
The day before the ceremony, he asked Malik Jia to send a set of luxurious and beautiful evening dress over for Angela.
"Mrs. Gu, there is a grand party for the hospital's centenary tomorrow evening. A lot of honorable guests were invited to the event. Mrs. Gu, as the Director's wife, you will also be the focus of the ceremony. So Mr. Gu has personally chosen this evening dress and this set of pearl jewellery for you. Please do attend the ceremony tomorrow," said Malik.
Angela squinted at Malik, who had put on a courteous smile, and then she shifted her eyes to the magnificently packaged box in front of her. 'Attend the ceremony with Arvin?" "No, I'm sorry but I won't be attending," refused Angela.
'Why isn't he inviting me himself? Why did he ask someone else to pass on this message to me? Huh!' thought Angela angrily.
Malik was baffled. Arvin had threatened him with his job. If Malik wasn't able to persuade Angela to attend the party tomorrow, he would be fired.
Malik felt helplessly sorry for himself, because Arvin had given him one of the most difficult tasks to take on.
"Mrs. Gu, Miss Si, Angela, please..." Malik pretended to cry and begged, "My parents have taken your husband to be my benefactor ever since I started working for him. They have always thought very highly o you, so please, I beg you, don't make a bad impression on them. I wouldn't want them to think of you as a bad person."
Angela was confused and asked, "How would that make me a bad person?"
"You will make me lose my job! Mr. Gu said that if you don't attend the ceremony tomorrow, I will be fired."
Angela was speechless. 'Wood, give me a piece of wood! I need to beat Arvin to death with it! What a horrible man! A sly fox!' cursed Angela angrily in her mind.
She thought for a while and replied, "Tell him, I won't go. His threats won't work on me."
Malik twisted his face with awkwardness and nearly knelt down as his legs were weak. He begged for mercy again, "Angela... Lovely Angela... Dear Mrs. Gu, please reconsider. My parents are getting old, I don't want to disappoint them, because I am afraid they might have heart attacks when they replace out that I lose my job..."
Angela stuck out her tongue and shrugged teasingly, "I am kidding. Rest assured, I will attend the party."
Malik forced out a smile and said, "Angela, you are so good at making jokes now."
"Thank you for your compliment."
"Then, should I come to pick you up tomorrow?" asked Malik.
"No. Please go back and lie to Arvin that I am not going to attend the party. Also, just tell him, if he fires you, I will fly back to C Country right away!" said Angela.
"What?" Malik was surprised. How they enjoyed playing games with each other!
Arvin had been on a business trip in D City and he wouldn't come back to J City until the next afternoon.
The next afternoon, before Arvin came back, Angela had asked the housemaids to take good care of the twins. The whole Gu family members were to attend the ceremony this evening, without their children, so Angela had to make sure the housemaids were going to look after the kids. After that, she asked her bodyguard to drive her to a private hairdresser's studio.
Kent drove Arvin back to the Gu family's house. But when he entered, Arvin could only see his two sons and Aron's daughter there. So he asked one of the housemaids, "Where's Angela?"
"Mr. Arvin, Mrs. Angela said that she had something to do and that she wasn't coming back tonight."
Arvin got upset when he heard the housemaid's reply.
Angela still hadn't forgiven him...
Moreover, even though it was such an important evening for him, Angela still wasn't willing to accompany him to the ceremony. Arvin was really upset to replace that Angela did not care about what other people would think of him at all.
The hospital's centenary ceremony was held in a five-star hotel owned by Aron's company. Before seven o'clock in the evening, the parking lot of the hotel was already packed with all kinds of luxury cars. At seven o'clock sharp, Arvin showed up in the hall alone by himself, which caused a lot of people's gossip to spread like wildfire.
The rumours regarding the bad relationship between the Gu couples were running rampant in the hall again.
After making his opening speech, Arvin walked down the stage and was soon surrounded by a lot of guests.
A man clinked glasses with Arvin and asked in a casual way, "Mr. Gu, where is Mrs. Gu? Why isn't she here with you tonight?"
Arvin squinted at him. The man looked like the type who loved to gossip. "She is feeling under the weather today so she is at home resting, " answered Arvin.
Then, he walked away, and gave him no more attention.
The man who intended to mock Arvin got embarrassed by his indifference.
At half past seven
The door of the hall opened unexpectedly. Many of the guests looked towards the direction of the doorway. Instantly, everyone was so astounded by what they were seeing, they couldn't move their gazes
away.
Standing gracefully at the doorway, was a woman dressed in a magnificent, blue strapless dress and white high-heeled shoes.
She had a mature hair style with her hair tied up, and had put on a dash of delicate makeup.
She was wearing a set of luxurious pearl jewellery on her ears, neck and wrists.
On her ring finger, was the famed ring known to many people. Everyone knew that it was the ring given to Angela by Arvin.
Angela was clutching the latest designed blue and white handbag from an international brand, which complimented her dress and overall appearance.
The guests stepped aside to make way for Angela, who was looking at the man standing at the other end of the path.
Angela was slowly approaching Arvin. She acted casually, although Arvin couldn't keep his eyes away from her for even a second.
She grinned at Arvin. Her sweet smile brightened up the whole hall.
Upon seeing Angela, Arvin's eyes glimmered with surprise and adoration. He tidied his Western suit and walked towards his beloved woman.
As the crowd gazed at them in admiration, Arvin stretched out his hand like a gentleman to Angela. She smiled and reached her hand to his.
Arvin pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead. The guests cheered in excitement when they saw their sweet interaction.
Some of them had already taken photos of them and posted their photos on the social media such as WeChat, Weibo or Facebook. Soon enough, Angela and Arvin became the hot topic on the internet again. "I thought you said you weren't coming?" Arvin whispered into her ears.
"On second thought, I was afraid that you'd start looking for a stepmother for my sons, " Angela said as she intimately held Arvin's arm. She walked inside with him, in her crystal-adorned high-heeled shoes. The guests there noticed the change of mood in the emotionless man as he was now looking at his wife with eyes filled with love and tenderness.
They were all shocked.
Sven had been here on behalf of the Si family, and due to Angela's presence, he also became the focal point of everyone's admiration.
One of the guests next to him said, "Mr. Si, Mr. Gu treats your sister so well! We really admire you."
"Your sister is so lucky. She was born in the well-respected Si family, and she also has found her true love in the Gu family!" another guest said.
"Mr. Si, you are so excellent, and now you have an outstanding brother-in-law as well. Oh, how much I admire you!"
...
Sven tittered as he replied proudly, "She's my sister. Of course, she deserves the best."
Angela and Arvin came up to Sven, after they had greeted the elders of the Gu family.
"Brother, where is my sister-in-law?" Angela asked as she curiously looked at Sven.
Sven clinked glasses with Arvin and told Angela, "Nicole is on an urgent business trip in Los Angeles, so I've had to come here by myself." Sven raised his brows and looked between Angela and Arvin, asking, "Did you guys manage to restore your relationship?"
Arvin coldly glanced at him. Could't he help mentioning it at least for the moment?
Angela leaned her head towards Arvin's shoulder, as a show of affection, and said, "Brother, am I such a generous and kind woman in your eyes?" Of course not! Angela thought herself to be very narrow- minded. 00000‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
