Mr. Granger lowered the file in his hands. “I didn’t expect her to still be at First Hospital in Lake City.”

“Even though University T can’t compare to her alma mater, we can still invite her to give a lecture. I just don’t know if she’s managed to detoxify the poison,” responded Principal Potter as he looked worriedly out of the window.

Ashlyn graduated from Zenith University – the best university in H Nation. She became famous after publishing a world-class paper before she even graduated. Such news shook the entire medical community.

But after graduation, Ashlyn simply vanished. Nobody knew where she went.

Even her name and photo on the honor roll of the medical university had disappeared from the list of honorary alumni.

Ashlyn was gone as quickly as she came, and like the wind, she left without a trace.

“Now that we’ve determined Ms. Berry to be the genius, why don’t we just invite her to give the last lecture before graduation?” Mr. Granger could not help but make the suggestion.

“I’ll need to see to this invitation personally. You should come with me. Oh, do ask the director of teaching and vice-principal to tag along,” ordered the principal.

“Yes, Sir. Right away,” responded Mr. Granger before standing up. “About Graduation Night… “

“We’ll talk about that tomorrow. Let’s deal with the lecture first.”

Meanwhile, in Ashlyn’s office at the hospital, Ashlyn’s face was flushed with passion as her apricot- shaped eyes stared at a satisfied man.

With his legs crossed, a man sat lazily on the sofa, gently swiping his phone screen with his long, slender fingers.

“Shouldn’t you be out?” asked Ashlyn harshly, whose back was sore and painful.

The man was a wild animal in bed, though he did not look like it. He now looked like Prince Charming who could only be found in fairy tales. Of course, that was only his physical appearance.

The ‘animal’, Lucas, lifted his head and looked at Ashlyn who was sitting behind her desk with his coal- black eyes. The woman’s features were exquisite and her gorgeous lips that were now swollen because of his kisses looked alluring. She was looking down at a medical record as a strand of her hair hung at the side of her face, making her look all the more amorous.

Lucas could not help himself as he stood up and approached Ashlyn. He then reached out to pull that strand of hair and wrapped it playfully around his finger.

Annoyed, Ashlyn lifted her head to glare at Lucas. “Let go!”

“You’re making me feel like I failed to satisfy you just now. Why the temper, honey?” Lucas asked with a smirk.

The way Lucas looked at her reminded her of the steamy scene they had both been in just now.

Ashlyn could almost feel the warmth of his muscular body still lingering at the tip of her fingers.

The pen she was holding onto suddenly dropped onto the floor as she got distracted.

“It’s all your fault, Lucas!” Ashlyn’s feeling of embarrassment suddenly turned into anger.

Lucas lowered himself to pick up the pen and put it back into her hand.

“How is my fault?”

Ashlyn kept quiet and did not respond.

Man!

I wouldn’t have dropped the pen if he didn’t distract me by reminding me of his wild side.

Why is this jerk bothering me anyway?

The more I try not to think about it, the harder it is for me to control my head.

Once again, flashing before her eyes was the scene in which the man’s sweat rolled down from his forehead and dripped onto her chest.

Ashlyn internally screamed as she shook her head in an attempt to shake off the image.

Holding his chin while looking at Ashlyn, Lucas found her reaction very interesting as he knew Ashlyn had many sides to her. Some were cute, others lively, interesting, or simply just charming, but he had recently only seen the cold and strong side.

What Lucas liked the most was the way she looked when she was lit up with fiery passion on the bed.

She was like a beautiful rose dressed in passionate and bold colors.

She may not want to admit that she wanted it but look what happened.

We went at it several times in the end anyway.
