Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

Chapter 3 Mr. George Lost Control

Wasn’t he fine when they were quarreling a while ago?

Oh wait, that was a few hours ago.

“I…”

“Not another word and go apologize to Euan George right now. I won’t have your back if he decides to

threaten your career.”

Apo…apologize?!

“Director…”

“Go apologize or get lost. Your call!”

Clack!

The phone was hung up.

Riley bit her lip. When was this mess going to end? No place was ever at peace with Euan’s presence. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Aware of the situation, the nurses made way for Riley to Euan’s ward.

The whole room heard what the director said in the end of the phone call, so they didn’t dare to trigger

her at this moment. Everyone tried to crack a smile at her.

“Dr. Watson, be careful when you go later…”

“Dr. Watson, don’t you worry about us. We…”

Pacing back and forth in the corridor with a heavy heart, Riley’s face was dead grim. She would rather

quit than to apologize to him.

But on a second thought…

Her marriage with Euan was like a broken raft in thunderstorm, which might sink at any moment. She

would lose both her career and marriage if she really quitted.

And that would be so embarrassing!

After contemplating, she decided she couldn’t quit.

Riley made up her mind and open to door to the ward…

Euan was leaning on the bed, flipping a file his secretary had sent him. His thick brows were raised

slightly as he read it, and he seemed to have gotten much better now.

“…”

He didn’t seem like he was having a high fever at all!

Euan didn’t cast a single gaze at Riley since she walked into the room.

Fully aware he was ignoring her, Riley had no choice but to be the first one to break the silence. “I

heard you got a fever.”

She didn’t bother to try to be courteous even though she was the one at fault here. She talked to him in

a calm and official tone.

Back then, she was always cautious with her words, but ended up getting his ridicule every single time.

Now she was lazy to do that anymore.

Euan didn’t look up at her but continue to fix his eyes at the contract papers he was flipping with his

slender fingers. He said blandly, “Shouldn’t my attending doctor know of my medical condition?”

Mocking inadvertently, he emphasized the words “attending doctor” slightly.

She didn’t let it got to her. She had learned Euan would always find wrong in whatever she did.

Feeling her heart beating faster, Riley’s gaze involuntarily fell on Euan’s face. As if it was a curse, she

had been thinking about his exquisite features every night before she fell asleep.

“It seems you’re already doing quite well. I’ll stop bothering you then.”

Riley reminded herself, she wanted to leave the encounter with pride and her self esteem intact.

Euan removed the cap of his pen and began to sign the papers swiftly.

His brows furrowed as he heard what she said. He closed the file and picked up another one. Then, he

reached for the cup of tea on the table and took a sip while lying slackly in the bed.

His poised manner triggered Riley. What did he want really?

Just when Riley’s legs almost got cramped from the standing, Euan finally finished his tea and said with

a cool calm voice, “Dr. Watson, aren’t you going to perform your duty?”

Coming back to her senses, Riley walked up to the bedside and took out the medical record. ‘Fine, I’ll

do my duty,’ she thought.

“The fever has already subsided. Your current body temperature is 36.5 degree Celsius. I’ll follow up

with your condition tonight.”

Not a word from Euan.

“Was there any blood regurgitation?”

“Does your stomach still hurt?”

“Do you feel feverish?”

With a cool aura, Euan didn’t give her a single gaze but remained silent while scanning through the file

in his hands.

Riley couldn’t simply tick the boxes on the medical record if he didn’t say anything. Sensing he was

recovering quite well, she gave him some friendly reminder.

“Your stomach bleeding was caused by excessive alcohol consumption. You can’t drink any alcohol for

the next whole month.”

“It’ll be better for you to take light food from now on. Porridge is a good choice for your current

condition. And it’ll be better to not have any strong tea before you’re fully recovered.”

“Do not drink milk with an empty stomach, it’ll cause excess secretion of gastric acid…”

Before she could finish, Euan shot her a cold gaze. She felt as if the air in the room moved slower as

he stared at her with his razor sharp gaze.

“Any other nonsense?”

Riley was at a loss for words upon hearing that.

Nonsense? All those kind reminders she gave were all nonsense to him?

Nice.

Riley couldn’t care much anymore and ticked all the boxes on the medical record. It seemed he was in

a good physical condition!

“No. That’s all.”

Damn! She knew she shouldn’t have embarrassed herself like this!

Euan was frowning imperceptibly. She only gave these official medical reminders to her husband?

Huh…

“Good.”

His attitude was fully depicted in his stone cold tone when he said.

Euan reached for the cup again and realized the cup was already empty. Displeasure flashed across

his face. “Fill the cup.”

Riley narrowed her eyes. Filled his cup? That was a nurse’s job, and she was a doctor…

Despite what she was thinking, Riley was already walking towards the cup. She decided to conform

just this once for the sake of him being so ill.

After pouring him a cup of hot water and put it on the table, Riley reminded him, “It’s hot.”

Without giving her any reaction, Euan looked at the hem of her white coat from the corner of his eyes

and retrieved them back onto the white ceramic cup. He took the cup to his lips and blew at the

steaming water.

Riley’s heart skipped a beat while looking at his actions.

He was well known as the kryptonite of women, the public enemy of men, the genius in the business

world, and a legend in his own kind. And Riley couldn’t deny that. She had to admit, this man in front of

her had unique noble charm that just couldn’t be impersonated.

Euan was a workaholic. Back then, she cared a lot for him. She had always served him tea and

prepared him supper.

She felt like a blessed woman just by watching him.

It was until she saw him with Lydia. The way he interacted intimately with Lydia left a deep scar in her

heart.

She thought they would have each other for the rest of their lifetime, but apparently he didn’t think the

same way.

She felt stupid for having much hope for their marriage.

Seeing Riley was still standing there after he finished his tea, the corner of Euan’s lips curled up. “You

mesmerized with me already?”

Riley was speechless.

“Or do you want to stay for the night?”

“…Sorry, doctors don’t provide such service.” Riley was caught off guard by his flirtatious remark. Was

he actually sick in the head instead of the stomach?

Or, did he grow to rely on others too when he was sick?

Or was he trying to get her attention?

Riley took a deep breath. She was going to tell him that she could stay with him if he wanted her

company.

Euan pointed towards the door. “Then get out of here right now.”

Riley almost couldn’t breathe upon hearing that. How silly of her to fantasize that!

She swallowed all the words she was going to say back into her throat. She was totally defeated.

“All right, I’ll get out of here now!”

With that said, Riley turned around to leave. She was trying hard to hold back her tears. It seemed she

still cared, because she was feeling hurt by his words.

Euan put down the file in his hands in frustration. A scene from three years ago flashed across his

mind.

It was a midnight when Lydia gave him a call and told him his newly-wed wife was cheating on him.

Doubtfully, he went to check out the place.

In a suite at the top floor of a hotel, the half-naked Riley lied on a king-size bed with a lecherous look,

while a naked man on top of her got down from the bed and fled.

He used to think she was indifferent towards him because she hadn’t fallen in love with him yet. He

didn’t expect her to cheat on him the second day into their marriage.

He never confronted her about it, but also never touched her again after the incident.

After three years, she still treated him as she always did. She was always calm, rational, and

unaffected by whatever he did as if she wasn’t his wife.

Damn! Why did he fall in love with this temperament of her in the first place!

Throughout these three years, her poised nonchalant smile always flashed across his mind whenever

he closed his eyes.

That was why he deliberately reacted to the solicitation from his best friend, Lydia, so he could trigger

her and made her feel his pain!

And how did she react to that?

Still indifferent and nonchalant as always!

“Stop!”

Euan’s penetrating voice shot towards her before she could move her feet.

“You were the one who asked me to leave, so I have to…Ah!”

Euan grabbed her right wrist tightly before she could finish her words.

With a hard yank, he pulled Riley onto his body with a huge plump.

Ignoring the pain and grabbing hold of her wrists, he flipped over and pressed Riley underneath him.

Riley was forced to look into his menacing gaze. But she held her ground just in time and didn’t give

away how shocked she was feeling.

No sign of fidgety was shown in her expression.

Euan’s eyes were shooting daggers at this woman underneath him. “Riley Watson, what do you

want?!”

His life was in a huge mess because of her!

Why did he become an alcoholic? Why did he stay up all night working? Why did he move out into an

apartment? Why did he never say he was single to all the women he slept with?

Was this woman dumb or something? Didn’t she get it after he had done all those things?

Riley smirked at his cold gaze. “Me? That’s the question I actually want to ask you, Mr. George.”

Did he ever think about how she felt when he slept with all those celebrities and spent all those money

buying luxurious house and sports car for Lydia?

Mr. George? She even called him Mr. George just like all those people who wanted to curry favor with

him!

Riley’s aloof attitude completely set Euan off. He felt like digging into the deepest part of her heart to

see if there was still any conscience left inside!

“What do I want? Let me show you!”

Brutally pressing Riley underneath him, Euan relentlessly bit her lips.

“Ugh…!”

Riley moaned at the pain in her lips. With his temper growing, Euan sat on her restless slender legs,

locked her hands behind her back with one hand, and ripped her white coat into half with the other…

Riley tried hard to struggle her way out but to no avail. She was physically overwhelmed. Just in a few

moments, the shirt underneath her coat was ripped off too, her undergarment was the only cover she

had left.

Euan halted for a second after taking a glance at it. He didn’t expect her figure to develop into such

perfect shape in the span of the past three years. Her slender collarbone and silky skin were seductive.

As he lowered his gaze, he was provoked at the sight of the voluptuous pair with a deep cleavage in

front of him.

He immediately let go of her lips and charged at the plump pair barbarously!

“Ah… Euan!” Riley chided sternly at the sharp pain. “This was a ward! In a hospital! Euan you jerk!”

The word “Euan” struck him like a thunder. He finally heard her calling his name again after three

years.

What more there was to be scruple of if this was so effective?

Flipping up her undergarment with one hand, Euan leaned over on Riley’s body. He glared coldly into

Riley’s furious eyes. “Scream! Scream all you want!”

This pervert!

How could she scream? A nurse might pass by the ward at any time. Even though this was a VIP

premium ward, she knew better than anyone else how bad was the soundproofing in this hospital.

The louder she screamed, the more she would ruin her own reputation.

Riley had no choice but to shut up.

“What’s wrong? Go ahead and scream! Do you not want to let people know your identity? Mrs.

George!”

Fuck!

Riley gritted her teeth. “Euan, what are you doing?!”

Euan pinched her chin tightly. Riley’s hair scattered out on the pillow, her fair cheek carried an

ambiguous charm under the dim light.

“What am I doing? Don’t you get it yet?”

With his hands on her waist, Euan took off his patient gown and thrust in…
