The Double Life of a Secretary (Leo and Megan)

Chapter 53

From Megan’s perspective, the story took a completely different turn.

Over the course of several consecutive days, she accompanied Paul to various social events and

engaged in discussions about their collaboration with Maria, Mr. Morgan, and several other minor

partners. She was exhausted.

Paul, being a boss who displayed far more empathy than Leo ever did, granted her two days off.

On the first day, she enjoyed a restful sleep, and on the second day, she received an invitation from

Vada Wise to meet at a bar.

Vada said, “Our hospital has just welcomed a new cardiologist who is not only tall and wealthy but

also incredibly handsome, with a hint of exotic allure! He looks just like Keanu Reeves. You have to

come and join us for some fun!”

Megan’s immediate response was to decline. “I’m sorry, but I need to visit the hospital to see my

mother.”

“Don’t worry. Your mother is doing fine. Just last night, she asked me when you and your boyfriend

were planning to tie the knot and start a family. She’s really excited about the idea of having

grandchildren!”

Megan’s mother’s illness presented an almost insurmountable challenge to cure. At this point, their sole

medical strategy was to focus on prolonging her life to the fullest extent possible.

Fortunately, due to the substantial financial investment in medical expenses over the

years, coupled with Leo’s invaluable assistance in locating top-notch doctors and caregivers, Megan’s

mother’s condition had consistently remained stable. In fact, in recent times, there had been a gradual

improvement, with her energy levels steadily increasing.

Undoubtedly, Megan felt immense joy in witnessing her mother’s improved condition. However, she

also experienced a sense of unease as her mother persistently urged her to get married.

Megan empathized with her mother’s longing. With the loss of her father in the past and her mother’s

current battle with illness, it became clear that her mother longed to see Megan create a happy family

before her time ran out. In this way, her mother could find comfort in knowing that Megan would be

surrounded by love even after her departure.

However, Leo hadn’t been completely willing when he married her. Naturally, she couldn’t expect him to

accompany her on visits to her mother.

As a result, she had concocted a story about having a boyfriend to ease her mother’s concerns all

those years. Yet, her mother had never laid eyes on this supposed boyfriend of hers.

Vąda chimed in, “Keeping such a lie from your mother isn’t wise. Besides, you’re planning to divorce

Leo soon, right? Why not take a leap of faith first? If you manage to win over this

cardiologist, we can introduce him to her. He’s tall, good-looking, and has an impressive career. I’m

confident your mother will be pleased!”

Megan wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about it, but if it meant making her mother happy, she was

willing to make an effort.

Early the next morning, Vada roused her from bed and assisted in styling her appearance.

“This cardiologist grew up abroad. He prefers vibrant and outgoing women. You need to look stunning

today! Once we make our entrance, you’ll leave everyone around in awe!”

Vada selected a striking wine-red tube top dress for Megan to impress everyone. The dress, crafted

from smooth silk, boasted a slim fit. It was remarkably short, hugging her hips and accentuating her

slender, straight legs. Afterwards, Vada personally applied a bold makeup, painting Megan’s lips a

captivating shade of red.

Megan couldn’t help but feel that her outfit seemed out of her character. She wasn’t naturally vibrant,

and it didn’t align with her temperament.

But when she stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself, she found that it was surprisingly

suitable.

Vada was also very satisfied. “You’ve already moved on from Leo. Don’t dress like a college girl,

imitating Tessa’s style. If you truly want to change, then go in the opposite direction!”

Megan felt that Vada’s words made sense.

By the time they arrived at the bar, many people had already gathered.

The majority consisted of Vada’s colleagues, including doctors, nurses, and other medical. personnel

from the hospital.

Usually, within the workplace, everyone at the hospital was restricted to wearing white coat uniforms

and refrained from using perfume or having elaborate hairstyles. However, on this

particular casual occasion, it was evident that everyone had embraced a more relaxed and carefree

atmosphere, a stark departure from their customary strict and cautious demeanor.

When Megan made her entrance, it was akin to pouring cold water into a boiling pot of oil, creating

an instant uproar.

She had no acquaintances, so she sat in the corner next to Vada. Since she didn’t know anyone, she

settled in a corner beside Vada. Meanwhile, Vada had become the center of attention at the gathering.

Numerous people swarmed around her, eagerly seeking Megan’s contact information, predominantly

men, of course.

Megan sat very close to Vada, so she could more or less hear the chatter of the people around her.

Though she couldn’t discern the exact words, she could infer from the expressions in people’s eyes

what they were discussing.

Megan was aware that she possessed some degree of attractiveness, but she hadn’t anticipated

becoming so popular.

After managing the persistent crowd, Vada finally managed to shake them off. Exhausted, she

sprawled out in the booth, panting for breath. “Megan, I can’t help but feel like I’m a madam in an

ancient brothel, and you’re the most sought-after courtesan.”

Megan disagreed with the metaphor and responded, “Dr. Wise, you shouldn’t make such jokes.”

After pondering for a moment, Vada also realized that her joke might have been inappropriate. She

chuckled and winked at Megan, saying, “You see, there are plenty of opportunities out there. Without

Leo, your prospects are quite promising. Let me tell you, the men at our hospital are the cream of the

crop. In other words, they’re all high-quality individuals. And that…”

Vada pursed her lips, gesturing towards the booth opposite them, and added, “That one there is the

epitome of excellence.”

Megan followed Vada’s gaze and noticed a tall, well-postured man seated in a booth nearby. Despite

his casual attire, the watch adorning his wrist appeared to be worth millions.

He had a striking blend of chiseled and refined features, and his eyes held a captivating depth. Without

a doubt, he was a naturally handsome man, with a hint of exotic allure to his appearance.

It appeared that he had noticed her gaze and clearly held a favorable impression of her. He raised his

glass from a distance, offering a friendly greeting in acknowledgment.
