Chapter 265: Chapter 265

Inside the hotel room, Eleanor Sterling was lying on a massage chair with a face mask on.

Liam Keene was sorting patient reports on the office chair next to her, occasionally chatting with her.

She was watching the news when her phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the name noted on the screen, she let out a soft hum, answered it, and put on her Bluetooth headset.

Having been affected by Blanche Hayes today, Eleanor Sterling’s voice carried a hint of displeasure.

"Is there something you need?"

"Have you arrived at the hotel?" Alaric Faulkner’s deep voice sounded, seductive and alluring.

Eleanor Sterling changed her position and said coldly, "Thanks for asking, I’m settled in, and even ran into your official girlfriend."

She deliberately emphasized the words "official girlfriend" with a heavier tone.

Alaric Faulkner was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly started to laugh.

The jealousy was palpable even through the phone, was Eleanor Sterling jealous of him?

He wondered which woman was using his name again to stir trouble outside, causing Eleanor to misunderstand.

He asked, "Isn’t my official girlfriend you?"

"President Faulkner, you’re joking, I have nothing to do with you." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fiɾe·net

Alaric Faulkner could hear the slight dissatisfaction in Eleanor Sterling’s voice and immediately signaled Elijah Hayes to investigate what was going on.

As the top assistant beside the president, the primary skill is to read the room.

Elijah Hayes knew that Alaric Faulkner was on the phone with Eleanor Sterling, which obviously meant he was going to investigate matters regarding her.

Thus, he immediately turned around and left.

Eleanor Sterling coolly said, "If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up, I’m busy."

Alaric Faulkner pinched his brow, wondering if he had used the wrong approach, leading to the growing distance between them.

Moreover, he wasn’t good at comforting girls, and Eleanor Sterling was clearly not in a good mood.

Unexpectedly, Eleanor Sterling cooked for him yesterday, but today spoke with a businesslike tone, impersonating a heartless jerk.

Just as Alaric Faulkner was about to say something, he suddenly heard a man’s voice on Eleanor’s side.

Instantly, his eyes turned cold, a harsh shade darkening his face.

Late at night, still in the hotel room, naturally leading to overthinking.

Was this the assistant she mentioned?

The person she liked, was it this rival number one, or any of these assistants?

Unexpectedly, with Micah Moss gone, another person appeared.

Even before catching her, Alaric Faulkner was already exhaustively dealing with rivals.

Eleanor Sterling diverted her attention to respond to Liam Keene.

They were exchanging insights on patient cases, planning to have another meeting before the surgery after discussing the surgical plan.

Now that Brian Zane had retired behind the scenes, all the visitors attracted by reputation were essentially entrusted to Eleanor Sterling.

She anticipated being quite busy for an extended period.

When truly occupied, Eleanor Sterling had no time for Estelle Sterling, hence entrusted him to someone else’s care.

"Alright, this is basically all for the past few days, along with matters from Elder Sawyer’s side..."

After briefing, Liam Keene continued with other tasks.

He managed Eleanor Sterling’s medical affairs and was her best capable assistant.

Micah Moss was more inclined toward design, acting more like a lifestyle assistant.

Eleanor Sterling assigned each of her roles perfectly, and the division was very clear, without interference.

Regarding the matter of apprenticing under two arch-rivals, Eleanor Sterling had no regrets.

She wasn’t against boosting her capabilities. Only by becoming stronger could she protect those she cared about around her.

Another half an hour passed, Liam Keene stood up after organizing treatments, "That’s basically it."

He gave Eleanor Sterling a look, held the documents, and left the room.
