Chapter 3401: Chapter 3402

After a long pause, he said, “Don’t count on it happening in this lifetime!”

A few days later, Duefron’s medical community hosted a banquet to help up-and-coming talents in the field find a partner.

Axell, being valued by the hospital, got an invite.

“Seize the chance, Axell.

”

He smiled, replying, “Sir, I’ve already got a girlfriend!”

His supervisor smacked his forehead and exclaimed, “Dang, I totally forgot! That pic of you and your girl smooching caused a real stir in Duefron.

She’s a real looker… Even beats all the nurses here!”

Axell grinned at the compliment.

His supervisor then handed him another invitation.

“Take your lady with you and have a blast! I can start picking the wedding gift, yeah?”

“You bet!”

After the supervisor left, Axell dialed Jessie’s number.

“Hey Jessie, got two invites.

Want to hit the bash with me tonight? We might be the only non-singles in the crowd!”

Jessie’s night was open, so she agreed.

Little did she know she’d bump into Albert at the party.

What was Albert doing at a gathering of medical experts?

A senior colleague of Axell’s, with caution, introduced them.

“Axell, meet Mr.

Waston, bigwig from Waston Group! Mr.

Waston, here’s our young gun, Dr.

Axell Calderon, and his lady.

Such a lovely couple, right?”

Albert was sharp, dressed to the nines.

His diamond cufflinks glinted.

With champagne in hand, he eyed Jessie.

Her maroon dress hugged her figure, accentuating her complexion and slender waist like something out of a fairy tale.

After a moment, he grinned, “Saw the pic that day.

They’re indeed a match made in heaven.

”

Jessie was repulsed.

She didn’t want to lay eyes on him, Politely nodding was all she managed.

Though Axell was itching to chat with Albert, he recalled Jessie’s warning about their mismatch.

Suppressing the urge, Axell settled for a handshake.

“Mr.

Waston, pleasure to meet you.

”

Albert shook hands courteously.

Glancing at Jessie’s wine glass, he remarked casually, “Miss Green’s not much of a drinker.

Dr.

Calderon, seems like you’re slacking in the boyfriend department!”

Axell turned to Jessie, saying, “How about some juice instead?”
