Chapter 179 Completely Inappropriate

Bella was concerned that the current situation would take a huge emotional toll on lan. Hence, she decided to stop by his office when it wasn't busy. But just as she was about to walk in, a pretty nurse rushed out with her face flushing red. It was hard not to imagine what had happened.

After all, the fact that lan managed to walk away from yesterday's events showed his resilience. Just as she was leaving, lan stepped out of his office. He didn't look the least bit embarrassed upon seeing her. Instead, he asked with a slightly suggestive tone, "Dr. Jones, are you looking for me?"

His words left Bella speechless, and she asked, "Can't you act normally? What were you doing in there with the nurse? You should be aware of where we are now.
