I finally got what she was driving at and followed up on her idea, "Plus, once you're gone, the head honcho over at the hospital will be in a tizzy. After all, you're the top gun in gynecology around Seabreeze City." "Yeah, I figured I'd use their little schto my advantage, kill two birds with one stone. Maybe after all this, I could even snag a deputy director position," Fanny's ambitions weren't sky-high, just aiming for the top job at the hospital.

That's when I gave her a thumbs-up, "When life throws you mud, you use it to plant flowers." Fanny pouted at my phone lying on the table, "Use your VIP status to booka flight, will ya?" True to her reputation as a top-notch gynecologist, she really was ready to leave at a moment's notice.

I quickly grabbed my phone, booked Fanny on a same-day flight, and then drove her hto pack her bags. "Weren't you supposed to stay put at the hospital for an investigation?" I remembered to ask her as I dropped her off at the airport.

She laughed, "Licia, is there even a point in asking that now?" I laughed too, "So, you did it on purpose." "Of course. The entire surgical procedure was recorded, there's video surveillance of the operation room, and I've documented all my communications with the patient's family. Let them investigate all they want, there's nothing I need to say, so why should I stay?" Her logic was sound, and her cooperation only made the schemers more pleased with themselves.

"You could've at least told Yates, catching him off guard like this might give him a fright," I reminded her. Fanny chuckled, "Consider it a surprise inspection. Who knows what he and Milly are up to behind my back?" Her words tookby surprise. "What, you don't trust him?" "It's not about trust; it's that human nature is unreliable," Fanny paused before adding, "There's no cat that doesn't steal a taste, and no man who doesn't stray." Clearly, she knew what she was talking about. Even if she hadn't been through it herself, she understood all too well the mess people could hide inside.

"Good luck with everything," I hugged her, watching her board the plane.

As the plane soared into the blue sky, I left the airport. But fate had a funny way of working; I hadn't walked far when I ran right into Conrad, face to face, with no way to avoid him. Conrad, with his luggage in tow, clearly headed somewhere far.

We might lovers, either. I and not have ended up as we weren't enemies. greeted him with a smile asked, "Where are you headed?" "Houston!" Hearing the city name, I wondered if the Wagner Group was expanding its business there too.

But I didn't pry further, as my ties with the Wagner Group and Cophad already been severed.

"Oh," was all I managed.

Conrad looked at me, "Aren't you going to ask what I'm doing there?" I gave him a faint smile, "My curiosity isn't that strong." His gaze darkened slightly, "You think everything aboutis none of your business now, huh?"

When we were together, he'd get annoyed if I asked too much about e his doings. Now that we're apart, it seemed he wasn't used to my disinterest.

This must be the fickle nature of people.

I didn't take the bait and simply mply m asked, "What tis your flight?"

"I'm going to see Jefferson," Conrad responded, dodging my question. N That remindedthat Jefferson's competition was indeed in Houston.

But his event wasn't until next I assumed Conrad was going as a practice partner and just smiled.

However, Conrad's next words froze the smile on my face.

Ashburn He said, "Jefferson's run into strouble there." X
