Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1446

Kailee's smile froze as soon as she heard about the Sanchez family's involvement. They had connections with nearly every hospital across North America, and it looked like they were covering the cost of Lewis's compensation.

If Lewis had been planning to quit, logically, he should've been the one to compensate the hospital. But thanks to Kailee's recent stunt, the hospital's payout had already hit Lewis's account just moments ago.

Lewis's face was all smiles, and he raised an eyebrow at Kailee's sour expression. "How about I treat you to dinner?" he offered, his voice teasingly light.

Kailee was fuming, shooting a glare at the person who had delivered the news. "Tell Mark to hold off on the firing," she snapped, her frustration clear. The informant looked uneasy. "Um..."

Lewis had already shrugged off his white coat, ready to leave. "Now that I'm officially let go, if the hospital wants me back, they'll need to shell out for a higher salary," he said, a smirk on his lips.

Taking a deep breath, she headed for the door, but Lewis's shadow loomed behind her, adding to her annoyance. "Worried about finding a job elsewhere? Coming to beg me now?" she taunted, trying to reclaim some control.

Lewis chuckled softly. "You're in my way."

Kailee's face flushed with anger, her fingers itching to strike him. "You Just you wait!"
