Chapter 188 So Open
Thinking of this, Arthur turned and hurried into the house.
He was going to stay by Jean’s side tonight, not giving her a chance to flirt with Harry.
As soon as Arthur entered the house, Ezra said to him, “You’re the last one to arrive here. You’re late, and you’ll be fined three shots.”
Arthur raised his head and drank three glasses of alcohol without hesitation.
Ezra couldn’t react to what had happened. He was just saying this to make a joke. He didn’t intend to make Arthur actually drink three shots in a row.
Julian standing by their side frowned slightly and reminded Arthur, “Are you sure you can handle these three drinks?”
Arthur hadn’t drunk or smoked because of his profession, especially alcohol. Because he had to be prepared for being called up for emergency surgery at any time.
So Julian and the others thought that Arthur couldn’t drink that much drink. Besides, drinking alcohol was something that needs practice. He and Ezra have been in the business all the year round, and they have taken part in all kinds of parties a lot. Even though they couldn’t drink that much alcohol, they had made much progress after all these drinking.
Sure enough, everyone could see Arthur raised his hand and pinched his forehead like a drunkard. But he still said bravely, “I’m fine.”
Arthur was indeed an average drinker, but he was just a little impulsive thanks to his anger towards Jean.
Arthur drank three glasses of alcohol in a row, but Jean, who was standing aside, didn’t even look at him. Instead, she smiled and said to Emelia, “Come on, introduce me to the handsome guy.”
Arthur was speechless.
What should he do if he wants three more shots?
Emelia knew that something must had happened between Jean and Arthur. But when she asked Arthur last time if he was interested in Jean, Arthur denied it.
So Emelia ignored Arthur’s feelings and introduced Jean to Harry, “This is Jean, a psychologist from the Psychology Department of the Riverside City Hospital.”
“Hello Dr. Hilgard, I’m Harry Zink.” Harry looked very charming when he smiled. He lived to the expectation of an idol graduated from a boy group, with amazing appearance and personality.
“Hello.” Jean also smiled vividly with her eyebrows bent, “It may be a little embarrassing to tell you, but I am indeed your fan.”
No one stipulated that the thirty-year-old woman can’t appreciate a twenty-year-old boy. There were many fans that were even older than her now.
As soon as Jean finished her word, Arthur said bluntly, “Then why did you say that if you feel embarrassed?”
Emelia, Julian and Ezra, all of them knew about the history of Arthur and Jean, so they weren’t surprised by Arthur’s reaction. But Maisie and Nina were stunned. Both of them looked at Arthur at the same time.
In their impression, Arthur has always been a gentle and elegant elite doctor. The way he spoke and behaved were all polite. How could he be so rude to Jean? Not to mention that Jean was also a lady.
Jean ignored Arthur’s rude word. However, she smiled again, took out her phone and said to Harry, “Can we take a picture together?”
Arthur’s expression turned angry completely.
This woman was really cocky!
Harry certainly did not refuse Jean’s request, “No problem.”
After Harry finished speaking, he walked over to Jean. And Jean handed the phone to Emelia naturally and asked Emelia to take a photo of them.
Emelia felt Arthur’s mournful gaze shot at her like a sword. But she resisted the pressure of Arthur’s gaze and took a few quick pictures.
When they were taking photos, Jean and Harry were so close and smiling so brightly that Arthur looked away.
When Emelia had just returned the phone to Jean after taking the photo, Harry suddenly asked her and said, “Dr. Hilgard, please help me take some pictures with my dear sister Emelia.”
This time, it was Julian who was putting on a painful expression.
Is this party tonight held to help them meet idols or take photos?
Jean certainly agreed. Emelia stood beside Harry, but Harry leaned forward a little and said, “It makes your face look smaller when taking pictures like this.”
Julian felt goosebumps all over his body. All of these were because of Harry.
Nowadays, these young people didn’t concentrate on their career, but concentrate on learning how to please women all day long.
After Jean finished taking pictures of them, she protested to Harry with a smile, “When you were taking pictures with me just now, why didn’t you step forward to make my face look small?”
Jean’s jealous look almost pissed Arthur to death. He sneered and said to Jean, “Dr. Hilgard, if the hospital leaders know your behavior right now, will you be fired?”
Jean confronted his gaze and asked, “What’s wrong with me?”
“Not well behaved.” Arthur was about to say the word “bitchy”, but luckily, he didn’t.
Jean’s expression was full of innocence, “Is there any regulations in our hospital that demand the doctors not take part in idol worship? Besides, there’s no leader see this, right?”
Arthur opened his mouth but was speechless. Shit, he was her greatest leader, he was the owner of the hospital.
After the whole process of picturing, the group sat down. The so-called Party officially started. Everyone was chatting while eating.
The desire of gossip was burning in Nina’s heart. She glanced at Arthur, and then glanced at Jean next to her, and then asked, “Dr. Hudgens, Dr. Hilgard, do you two know each other before?”
“No!”
“Yes!”
Two voices sounded at the same time. It was Arthur who said “No”, not knowing who he was madding at in his tone.
And it was Jean who answered “Yes” with confidence.
Nina said as if she had known everything, “Then they should know each other.”
And there must have been some chemistry happened before. But it was Arthur who didn’t get out from the relationship.
Jean smiled and explained to Nina, “Dr. Hudgens and I both work in the Riverside City Hospital. Of course we know each other.”
Jean gave this explanation, erasing her past relationships with Arthur and only acknowledging the current relationship.
Nina shook her shoulders, “That’s right.”
Seeing that Arthur was angry all night, Ezra made the situation even worse again deliberately. He looked at Jean and asked, “Dr. Hilgard, can you tell me why you are attracted by Harry?”
“The young men now were so attractive. As the older one, we need to follow their steps and learn.”
Jean praised Harry without hesitation, “He looks handsome, has a good temperament, and has excellent ability in his field.”
“Thank you, Dr. Hilgard.” Harry’s lips curled into a charming smile, humbly accepting Jean’s compliment, “I will keep trying my best in the future.”
In fact, Jean wasn’t overcomplimenting him. Harry was one of the most outstanding stars among both the boy groups he stayed in and the stars of his age.
Originally, he was just a singer and a dancer. But now he was marching towards the filming industry, and his achievements have also attracted much attention.
The urban youth drama which was starred by him and Nina had just finished airing. The handsome and manly image in the drama was a tremendous success in the past summer. And he had gained a group of fans with his strength.
Arthur snorted contemptuously. Everyone on the spot was very good at their own business.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
He, Julian and Ezra, everyone of them was very capable of their business
Every single one of them was the leader in their respective industries. How could Jean proudly say that Harry has an excellent business ability. The only thing he could do was just singing and acting, right? He didn’t need anything else.
Harry Zink didn’t excellent ability, but an excellent face!
