Chapter 590

But to her surprise, the bodyguard shook his head. “I’m sorry, Dr. Mill. I’ll have to ask Mr. Nightshire about it.”

Queenie pursed her lips, annoyed that she couldn’t get in despite getting recognized. But she couldn’t make life hard for the bodyguard, so she said, “Of course.”

At the same time, Vinson was already prepared for the press release. When the bodyguard came to tell him about Queenie’s arrival, he hesitated for a moment, but finally, he said, “Don’t let anyone unrelated to this in.”

“Wait a minute.” Carter came back just in time to see this scene. “Since Boss isn’t around, I think we should have a medic on standby. We spent a fortune to hire her. The girl’s a skilled doctor and comes from a famous traditional Chanaean doctor family. We should have her around just in case.”

Vinson nodded. “Let her in then.”

“Yes.” The bodyguard nodded and went away in a hurry.

When Queenie saw the bodyguard again, she started getting nervous. Does he still remember me? Will he let me in?

The bodyguard smiled at her and invited her in. “Come in, Dr. Mill. I’ll take you to Mr. Nightshire.”

Queenie heaved a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she got even more nervous. Not even her first surgery made her that nervous.

She patted her chest to calm herself down and followed the bodyguard in.

Grandview was a big hotel, so it took Queenie a few twists and turns before she came to Vinson’s waiting room.

“You may go in, Dr. Mill. Mr. Nightshire is inside.”

“Thank you.” She nodded and opened the door. The first thing she saw after she went inside was Vinson holding a document and having a discussion with Carter.

Vinson turned around when he heard someone opening the door.

Queenie gazed into his eyes. His eyes gleamed brightly, not unlike a starry sky. Not a night had gone by where she didn’t dream of his eyes. How long has it been?

“Vinson…” Queenie called out to him.

“Ahem!” Rayson coughed, reminding her, “Miss, please address our CEO as ‘Mr. Nightshire.’ Thanks for your cooperation.”

He would not allow Vinson to get embroiled in any scandal. If something went wrong, it would become his trouble. He had seen too many women staring at Vinson like they want to get laid, so he would stop anything before it could even bud.

Queenie thought it was awkward now that the mood was ruined, so she changed how she addressed Vinson. “Mr. Nightshire.”

Vinson nodded calmly. Queenie knew he was saying hello, but that only made the situation even more awkward for her. And she also felt crestfallen.

I bet he doesn’t remember me anymore. I mean, we were only in the same class for the general subjects. I didn’t even say hi. Of course, he doesn’t remember me. But I’ll make sure he never forgets about me after this.

Carter thought he should help out, since he couldn’t allow his staff to just stand there awkwardly.

“Queenie, the patient’s inside. You should take a look at him.”

Queenie was a smart girl. She knew Carter was just giving her a way out of the situation, so she went to see the patient without saying another word.

After Queenie was gone, Carter said, “Don’t give a talented lady that kind of look. You scared her.”

Vinson was not interested in small talk. “Where were you? Get on with it.”

Carter went back to business. “This venom comes from Manchernius,” he started seriously.
