The next morning, another piece of news was hotly discussed on the Internet.
“Last night, the Halton Group’s CEO, Jalen, personally came to the Lory family’s villa. It seems that the two families are discussing marriage.”
When Elaina saw this piece of news, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. She had an indescribable feeling.
“Dr. Gainsford?” As if seeing that Elaina was distracted, the director called out to her.
Elaina came back to her senses and looked at the director in front of her. “Sorry. What did you just say?”
“There is a project to help people in the countryside. This time, Mr. Packer wants you to go. What do you think?” The director asked.
Elaina frowned and was a little confused. “I just arrived at the hospital. Is it appropriate for me to go there?”
“There’s nothing inappropriate. This is a public service project. There are only benefits and no disadvantages,” the director said.
Of course, Elaina understood his words. Most hospitals had such projects. If she agreed, after coming back from the countryside, she could get promoted.
However, Elaina felt that she had only been here for a short time. If she continued to get promoted, she was afraid that it would cause the other people in the hospital to be dissatisfied.
The director said, “You don’t have to worry too much. This is the decision of the hospital. Besides, you are also qualified.”
After a while, Elaina said, “Okay, I am willing to go, but it is only for public welfare. I hope that when I come back, the hospital will not make any other arrangements for me.”
“Dr. Gainsford…”
Elaina said, “Dr. Wood, I understand what you and Mr. Packer mean, but I am still young and have plenty of opportunities. There are other people in the hospital who need to get promoted more than me.”
For her, titles were not that important. Therefore, Elaina didn’t want to take opportunities away from others.
Seeing her determination, the director said, “Alright.”
In this way, Elaina accepted her three-month work in the countryside. The hospital arranged for her to set off tomorrow. The location was a remote small county next to New Jersey.
Therefore, Elaina had to go back early today to pack up her things and study the route. She could also search for information about the place. She could not go without any preparation.
Just as Elaina arrived at the entrance of the comrnunity, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and found that the person who was calling her was Nitzan. She felt surprised.
Elaina picked up the phone. “Grandpa.”
“Ella, you haven’t seen me for a long time. What happened? Don’t you treat me as your grandpa after you divorced Jalen?” Nitzan’s slightly aged voice came from the other side of the line. Elaina felt sad when she heard it.
“Grandpa, what are you talking about? I have been busy recently, so I don’t have time to see you,” Elaina said with a smile.
Nitzan laughed, “Are you busy now? Come here and have dinner together. I miss you very much.”
Elaina was not in a hurry to agree. After thinking carefully, she replied, “Okay, I’ll come over now.”
“Okay. I’ll ask them to prepare the dishes you like.”
After Nitzan hung up the phone, Elaina took a taxi to the Halton’s old house.
Nitzan had always been good to her. After all, she had to leave for three months this time. Elaina felt that it was necessary to go over and tell Nitzan about it. Otherwise, Nitzan would be annoyed.
The taxi soon arrived at the Halton’s old house. Elaina paid the bill and got out of the car. Just as she was about to go in, she heard the sound of a car coming from behind her again.
Elaina subconsciously turned around and saw that it was Jalen’s car.
When Elaina saw Jalen get out of the car, she frowned.
When she saw Alisha get out of the car, she frowned even more.
“Ms. Gainsford, what a coincidence! Are you here to have dinner with Mr. Nitzan?” Alisha smiled and walked to Jalen. They looked very close to each other.
