Chapter 213

Chapter 213 ‘Outsiders?’ Abigail’s expression changed immediately as she was extremely upset. ‘I grew up with him. How am I an outsider?!’

Molly was stunned when she heard Sean as well, though she did not show it. She just took a sip of the wine and thought, ‘I didn’t expect Sean to reject her in such a straightforward manner.’

‘Aren’t they family friends?’

Abigail bit her lips and took some time for herself. She then smiled like she was not bothered by Sean’s rejection and said, “Actually, I have something to talk about with Ms. May.”

Abigail was clenching her fists behind her back.

Sean looked up.

‘What does she have to talk with Molly about?’ ‘Is someone from the Nolan family sick?’ Molly was shocked as well. She had just felt Abigail’s hostility a minute ago. ‘Why does she want to talk to me suddenly?’ Sean looked at Abigail and figured that she was not making things up, so he allowed her to sit down.

Abigail was a lot happier as she sat next to Sean. Even her tone was nicer when she talked to Molly.

“The Nolan Group is involved in medicine, and I own a research institute. We’re recruiting now, so I was wondering if an elite like you would care to join us, Ms. May. We really welcome you.”

Abigail looked genuine, but Molly could sense a hint of smugness from her tone.

Molly smiled. That was the first time someone invited her in such a way. She was not even invited by the Nolan Group but by Abigail’s research institution. ‘A small private research institution?’

Molly put down her wine glass and looked at Abigail’s delicate face coldly. ‘Is she looking down on me?’

There was an indescribable look in Molly’s eyes as she spoke humbly, “It’s okay. I’m just an ordinary doctor.”

Though she found Abigail laughable, she was extremely humble. Molly was partnered with countless other noble research institutes overseas. Why would she even bother about Abigail’s invitation?

Sean frowned and looked at Abigail complicatedly.

He did not know where Abigail found the guts to ask Molly about that. ‘If she knew about Molly’s identity, isn’t she afraid that she would be simply humiliated?’

‘That’s some classic clownery right there, not knowing her place.’ He said, “It’s okay. If Ms. May wanted to do things like that, she would plan it herself.” Sean did not want Abigail to be further embarrassed, so he immediately rejected on behalf of Molly. Abigail was completely confused. ‘Molly is a country bumpkin. Though she knows how to treat Sean’s legs, she’s still a normal doctor.

She’s not even from a famous doctor’s family or something. Besides, my invitation is almost like a blessing to an ordinary person. Why did she reject me still?’ ‘Does she think anyone could join the Nolan Group?’

Though she was curious, she did not ask Molly again. “Well, please consider, Ms. May.” Abigail then started eating. She would start conversations with Sean, and people might think that they were a couple while Molly was nothing but a friend of theirs. But Sean had already stopped eating for some time. He just responded to Abigail half heartedly as he sat quietly and tolerated the noise from her. And it was solely because Molly was still eating ‘Otherwise, I would’ve already called Tony over.’ As soon as he thought about this, he sent Tony a text message.
