The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Chapter 12

Tessa gave Randall a thumbs-up. "Impressive! You got it done in 20 minutes."

Randall smirked, feeling a hint of pride. "What's a challenge for others is a piece of cake for me."

In reality, he didn't even know Larry personally. He had reached out to Larry through a friend. Being wealthy, Randall had given Larry a lighter worth 4,000 dollars, which had sealed the deal. Placing a finger to his lips, Randall whispered, "Shh, let me talk to Larry. Stay quiet."

Tessa nodded and sipped her coffee quietly.

Randall answered the call and switched to speaker mode so Tessa could hear everything clearly.

"Hello?" Larry's voice came through the phone.

"Hi, did you confirm the meeting time with Ms. Carter?" Randall asked with a smile.

Larry's voice crackled with anger. "I got fired! How the heck am I supposed to arrange a meeting? Randall, you've wrecked my career!"

Randall's expression changed. "What happened? You seemed fine when I left."

Larry shouted furiously, "It was all because of you! You told me to mess with that Matthew guy, and now I've lost my job. Do you have any idea who he is?"

Still clueless, Randall shrugged nonchalantly. "Isn't he just an ex-convict and a divorced loser with a kid?"

Larry's fury intensified. "You're still full of lies! I believed you, and now I'm paying for it. Matthew is our president's boyfriend! I got fired because of your damn schemes. What are you going to do about this?" "What?" Randall and Tessa gasped in disbelief.

Matthew was Rachel's boyfriend? How could that be true? It seemed more absurd than the idea of the sun rising in the west.

Randall coughed, trying to regain composure. "Come on, Mr. Scott, you must be kidding. Matthew just got out of prison. It's hard to imagine him dating anyone, let alone your gorgeous president."

Tessa chimed in, "Yeah! I divorced him because he wasn't good enough. How could someone like Ms. Carter possibly be interested in an ex-convict?"
