Chapter 1254
Daniel felt a chill run down his spine, mopping his brow as he asked, “Mr. Lloyd, is something wrong?” Internally, he was fuming, ‘Dude, don’t try to push your luck.”
Andrew’s face was a mask of stone as he said, “Just resign, take a good look at yourself, and then take a hike! I used to be in the medical field, and I can tell you, your attitude doesn’t cut it for a doctor!”
Daniel’s face went white with rage, and he spat out, “Mr. Lloyd, you’re crossing the line! I was being nice because of Ms. Garcia! However, if you’re seriously telling me to quit my job, let me be blunt–you’re being laughable!” He was on the verge of a big promotion, quitting would be insane, right?
Chantelle was frowning too! Andrew’s request to see Mr. Goddard was already sorted, so what was the point of that drama? Was it fun to pick fights with a low-level doctor?
Andrew’s frown deepened as he reiterated, “Let me make myself clear, Dr. Charlton, your behavior is downright shameful! Being in the hospital, you’re just going to hurt more people. So here’s my final word of advice: quit your job!”
Daniel had been biting his tongue, but this time he lost it. “Ms. Garcia, you’ve seen it yourself, I’m not trying to disrespect you! However, Mr. Lloyd is just too pushy, always sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong!
“He demanded to meet our hospital director, and I made it happen! And now, he’s making such an absurd demand. Does he think I’m a pushover, that I’d just quit because he says so?”
Chantelle’s voice was grave, “The government can’t just meddle with the staffing of Blumedale Hospital. Let’s call it a day, you’ve made your point!”
Andrew gave her a look, “You’re mistaken, I haven’t reached my goal at all!
“This fool, just taking up space, causing chaos in a hospital that belongs to the people, making it hard for countless people to get care… As long as this problem exists, I haven’t achieved anything!”
Chantelle was getting angry, “Fine, what do you want then? Do you expect me to take him out, or pull some strings to settle your personal scores?”
Daniel let out a scornful laugh, “Mr. Lloyd, you’ve done enough! You’ve shown you can pull in the big guns, you’ve got the chops to brag! However, there’s a limit to everything!
“If you don’t know when to quit and want to keep up this act, then let me make it clear: if I, Daniel, don’t take you seriously, you’re nothing!”
He was at his wit’s end! Where did this obnoxious fool come from? Chantelle had come to support him, and he had already humbled himself, offering a graceful exit! However, still, it was not enough. Even now, Andrew still wanted to pick a fight with him! Seriously, he should take a good look at himself. He was not some bigwig from the capital power bloc, he was part of the healthcare system. Did Andrew think he could just force him out, make him pack his bags, and leave? He must be out of his mind.
There was no way Andrew had the clout for that!
Andrew kept quiet, which only made Daniel smirk with satisfaction. He reached out his hand and said, “After you, Mr. Lloyd. I’ll take you to Mr. Goddard myself!
“Some battles just aren’t worth fighting, you know! You’re the top dog, fine—I’m just showing you some respect, that’s all! However, there are other things, Mr. Lloyd, that you really shouldn’t meddle with.
“Because that’s just asking for trouble, and it’s way out of your league! I’ve met plenty of rich and powerful folks, and let me tell you, they’re sharp. They know how to stay out of harm’s way!
“Mr. Lloyd, you’re acting like a rookie, all hot-headed and sh…”
Daniel could not help but feel smug as he ended up schooling Andrew on life lessons, all the while feeling on top of the world.
‘Mr. Lloyd, you’ve got money and connections, sure, you even brought Chantelle on board! However, there are places your influence just doesn’t reach! And that’s where Daniel comes in,’ he thought smugly.
