But to her surprise, the bodyguard shook his head. âIâm sorry, Dr. Mill. Iâll have to ask Mr. Nightshire
about it.â
Queenie pursed her lips, annoyed that she couldnât get in despite getting recognized. But she couldnât
make life hard for the bodyguard, so she said, âOf course.â
At the same time, Vinson was already prepared for the press release. When the bodyguard came to tell
him about Queenieâs arrival, he hesitated for a moment, but finally, he said, âDonât let anyone unrelated
to this in.â
âWait a minute.â Carter came back just in time to see this scene. âSince Boss isnât around, I think we
should have a medic on standby. We spent a fortune to hire her. The girlâs a skilled doctor and comes
from a famous traditional Chanaean doctor family. We should have her around just in case.â
Vinson nodded. âLet her in then.â
âYes.â The bodyguard nodded and went away in a hurry.
When Queenie saw the bodyguard again, she started getting nervous. Does he still remember me? Will
he let me in?
The bodyguard smiled at her and invited her in. âCome in, Dr. Mill. Iâll take you to Mr. Nightshire.â
Queenie heaved a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she got even more nervous. Not even her first
surgery made her that nervous.
She patted her chest to calm herself down and followed the bodyguard in.
Grandview was a big hotel, so it took Queenie a few twists and turns before she came to Vinsonâs
waiting room.
âYou may go in, Dr. Mill. Mr. Nightshire is inside.â
âThank you.â She nodded and opened the door. The first thing she saw after she went inside was
Vinson holding a document and having a discussion with Carter.
Vinson turned around when he heard someone opening the door.
Queenie gazed into his eyes. His eyes gleamed brightly, not unlike a starry sky. Not a night had gone
by where she didnât dream of his eyes. How long has it been?
âVinsonâ¦â Queenie called out to him.
âAhem!â Rayson coughed, reminding her, âMiss, please address our CEO as âMr. Nightshire.â Thanks
for your cooperation.â
He would not allow Vinson to get embroiled in any scandal. If something went wrong, it would become
his trouble. He had seen too many women staring at Vinson like they want to get laid, so he would stop
anything before it could even bud.
Queenie thought it was awkward now that the mood was ruined, so she changed how she addressed
Vinson. âMr. Nightshire.â
Vinson nodded calmly. Queenie knew he was saying hello, but that only made the situation even more
awkward for her. And she also felt crestfallen.
I bet he doesnât remember me anymore. I mean, we were only in the same class for the general
subjects. I didnât even say hi. Of course, he doesnât remember me. But Iâll make sure he never forgets
about me after this.
Carter thought he should help out, since he couldnât allow his staff to just stand there awkwardly.
âQueenie, the patientâs inside. You should take a look at him.â
Queenie was a smart girl. She knew Carter was just giving her a way out of the situation, so she went
to see the patient without saying another word.
After Queenie was gone, Carter said, âDonât give a talented lady that kind of look. You scared her.â
Vinson was not interested in small talk. âWhere were you? Get on with it.â
Carter went back to business. âThis venom comes from Manchernius,â he started seriously.
