Chapter 25: One-Sided Love


    When Isabe arrived at the hospital, she was mentally prepared to be lectured by Drew.


    It turned out that Drew said nothing and treated her as usual.


    Even the head of the gynecology department called to say he had received the document.


    However, Isabe clearly remembered she had left the document in one of the offices in the


    gynecology department due to Maxwell and Dolcie''s affairs.


    After thinking for a while, she found the only exnation would be the doctor on duty had helped her


    bring it over.


    Thinking of this, she stopped pondering, perked up, and followed Drew for their daily ward routine.


    "How is your preparation for the examination going, Be?"


    Walking beside Isabe, Drew asked in a gentle, soothing voice, which was like a spring breeze that


    refreshed the air.


    Looking up at him, Isabe smiled faintly.


    "Don''t worry, Doctor Ross.I''m working very hard and won''t let anyone snatch the position as your


    assistant away!"


    Although the other twopetitors were also outstanding, she believed she wasn''t that bad and would


    get the position in the end.


    "Haha...It''s good that you''re confident.I was worried you were too stressed because you seemed to be


    in low spirits these days."


    Drew looked at Isabe''s confident expression and was kind of relieved.


    Ever since working in the hospital, Isabe had always been an outstanding doctor.


    Therefore, Drew couldn''t help but be worried when he saw her not being her usual self in thest two


    days.


    It seemed he had overthought.


    Hearing Drew''s words, Isabe was surprised that her absentmindedness and low spirits were so


    obvious that they had actually been noticed by the others.


    After checking on the patients and ensuring that all of them were in good condition, Isabe was about


    to carry on her duty when Drew called her, "There''s a colleague party after work.How about youe


    with us?"


    Maxwell popped into her head the moment she heard Drew''s suggestion.


    If she went backte tonight, Maxwell would probably find her trouble again.Just as she wanted to


    refuse, Drew didn''t give her the chance.


    "I''ll take this as a yes then.Wait for me at the entrance after work, I''ll take you there.It''s important to


    keep a cordial rtionship with colleagues too, but you''ve never attended any of our gatherings."


    When Drew saw Isabe''s expression, he knew what she wanted to say.


    Hence, he spoke before her without hesitation.


    After hearing Drew''s words, Isabe nodded in agreement as she knew people would be gossiping


    about her if she declined the invitation again.


    Before getting off work, she changed her clothes and wanted to inform Sharp Mansion about her n


    tonight, but her phone had run out of battery and she couldn''t make a call now.


    "Hurry up, Be.Don''t let Doctor Ross wait for too long."


    A colleague''s voice rang from the door.


    While replying to the colleague, Isabe put her phone into her bag.


    Anyway, she was just a nobody to the Sharps.


    No one would care even if she went backte.


    When Isabe reached the hospital''s entrance, Drew was already waiting for her in his car.


    Drawing down the window, he waved to her and she quickly got into the car.


    When Drew drove the car away, Isabe didn''t notice several ck Range Rovers stopping before the


    hospital.


    "Madam is getting off work soon, Mr.Sharp."


    Morgan looked at the cold and domineering Maxwell behind him and said softly.


    Narrowing his eyes, Maxwell answered, "Let''s wait for her then."


    Hearing this, Morgan didn''t say anything despite feeling helpless.


    Although Maxwell was the one who wanted to pick Isabe up, he didn''t speak it out loud and was


    waiting for Morgan to find an excuse.


    Of course, Morgan didn''t dare to express his discontent.


    After waiting quietly for more than half an hour, he cast a nce at Maxwell''s expression from the


    rearview mirror and couldn''t help but say, "I''ll give Madam a call now, Mr.Sharp."


    "Mm,"


    Maxwell responded and his wrinkled brows showed that he was getting impatient.


    Without further dy, Morgan called Isabe and found out she had turned off her phone.


    Startled, he wondered whether she had quietly left after seeing their cars.


    However, he shook this guess away because it waspletely illogical.


    Although Maxwell didn''t look directly at Morgan, he noticed Morgan putting down his phone out of the


    corner of his eye.


    Seeing this, he knew Isabe didn''t pick up the call.


    "Madam has turned off her phone, Mr.Sharp.I''ll call the hospital."


    While speaking, he called the hospital without waiting for Maxwell''s response.


    With his high efficiency, he got the answer soon and ended the call with a terrified expression, "What is


    it?"


    "The hospital said Madam has already gotten off work, Mr.Sharp.She''s probably at a gathering with her


    colleagues now,’ Morgan said softly for fear of angering Maxwell.


    Furrowing his brows, Maxwell answered after a few seconds of silence, "Let''s go back then."


    At first, Morgan wanted to ask whether he needed to find out the ce of the gathering.


    However, he stopped himself after hearing Maxwell''s response and ordered the chauffeur to drive


    away.


    Meanwhile, Isabe and Drew were thest to reach the gathering due to some work in the hospital.


    Walking into a Japanese restaurant with Drew, Isabe felt weird upon meeting a full table of


    colleagues.


    "Hey...


    Be, you''re here too!"


    A lively and friendly colleague waved happily upon seeing Isabe walking in with Drew.


    Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes to Isabe and Drew.


    Although Isabe kept a calm expression, she was a little nervous, because this was her first time


    facing so many colleagues and she had no idea how to get along with them.


    Moreover, she noticed there was only one seat left on the table and undoubtedly, it was Drew''s.


    It was obvious that they hadn''t known she would join them this time.

    She wouldn''t have known about this but to go to the seat prepared for him.


    As everyone had shown up, dishes were ordered and then they started talking about their jobs in the


    hospital.


    Sitting quietly, Isabe listened to them because she had nothing in her mind.


    During dinner, she could see everyone bringing Skyler and Drew up from time to time.


    Perhaps they wished to match them up too.


    The dinner ended in a good atmosphere.


    Later, someone suggested going to a bar.


    Initially, Isabe didn''t want to go, but she followed them in the end as she did not wish to dampen the


    enthusiasm.


    In the bar, Isabe had been paying attention to the band on the stage until noticing somebody sitting


    beside her.


    Turning her head, she found that it was Drew and his reddened face showed he was drunk.


    Then, she also noticed Skyler was talking to other people and wasn''t looking at them.


    Without waiting for Isabe to speak, Drew tilted but to go to the seat prepared for him.

    Then, she also noticed Skyler was talking to other people and wasn''t looking at them.


    Without waiting for Isabe to speak, Drew tilted his head and leaned on her shoulder.


    This frightened Isabe and she immediately pushed Drew away.


    Although she didn''t wish to be misunderstood, unfortunately, she met Skyler''s furious gaze after


    pushing Drew away with great difficulty.


    "Doctor Ross is drunk.Why don''t you send him back?"


    Isabe asked calmly and ignored Skyler''s gaze.


    "Humph! It''s you who wish to send him back, isn''t it? Look how impatient you are!"


    Skyler stared at Isabe and said sarcastically.


    Isabe didn''t want to tangle with a drunk person, so she spoke, bluntly as she was tipsy too, "First of


    all, Drew is my superior and I have no other feelings for him except respect.Secondly, you''re the one


    who can''t wait since the beginning.Please make the situation clear before you speak."


    After saying that, she picked up her bag and left.


    As the bar was crowded and noisy, not many people noticed the situation here.


    Although Skyler was So angry that she almost lost her temper, she suppressed it and changed into a


    shy expression upon seeing Drew open his eyes in a daze.


    "Doctor Ross, why don''t we leave first? You''re drunk."


    Sitting down next to Drew, she asked sweetly.


    For today''s gathering, she deliberately wore a short dress with a low neckline that showed her bosoms


    and figure.


    With this, she was very confident that Drew would be aroused.


    However, Drew didn''t look drunk at all after she sat next to him and his gaze was bright and clear now.


    "Thank you.I can leave on my own."


    Drew pushed Skyler away and said coldly.


    At this moment, Drew had regained his usual polite and distantposure.


    Hearing this, Skyler thought he was ying hard to get, so she leaned over again.


    "Doctor Ross, I can take care of you."


    "Take care of me? I guess you wish to take care of me in bed, huh?"


    Suddenly, Drew leaned closer and whispered to her ear.


    From his low voice, there was no hint of flirtatiousness but disdain and coldness.


    Startled and confused, Skyler noticed his bad mood but she didn''t ask further.


    Meanwhile, Drew watched Isabe leave without saying anything.


    By the time the gathering ended, Skyler was so drunk that she was talking gibberish.


    As everyone wished to matchmake Drew and Skyler, they were trying to prompt Drew to send Skyler


    back.


    However, they saw Drew drive away carefreely without caring about the drunk Skyler.


    At this time, everyone finally realized it was just a one-sided love.


    At the other side of the city, Isabe had taken a cab back to Sharp Mansion.


    As her phone was out of battery, she didn''t know the time, and due to her tipsiness, she wouldn''t be


    afraid of Maxwell if he were to fight with herter.


    Despite thinking about this, she still didn''t wish to walk inside after reaching the mansion.


    When the servant in the house opened the door and saw Isabe was blushed and reeking of alcohol,


    they whispered, "Mr.Sharp is still waiting for you, Madam."


    When Isabe heard their words, she waved her hand nonchntly and walked in.


    As soon as she took off her shoes, she was about to make a beeline to her room.


    "Do you know what time it is now?!"
