Chapter 135

After they left the clinic, Wynn brought Philip to a cafe nearby and ordered two cups of coffee.

“Philip, now that I’ve lost my job, what should we do?” She said worriedly.

Earlier, she had resigned from her job on an impulse. She was beginning to regret it.

Beacon paid her rather well, and they needed money urgently.

Philip shrugged. “Don’t worry, I’m still here. I’ll make sure that you and our daughter won’t starve,” he

said calmly.

“Should I go talk to Chairman Hall?” Wynn asked him, blinking.

That was one of the very few times she asked for Philip’s opinion.

She had this impression that Philip had changed. Somehow, he became more dependable and made

her feel safe.

“I think that your Chairman Hall will give you a call soon. He’ll be begging you to go back to work,”

Philip said calmly.

Wynn was surprised, then rolled her eyes at Philip. “That’s just your imagination. Didn’t you see just

now that I told him I quit in front of his face?

“Whatever. I’m not going to dwell on it for too long. I’ll just go find another job.”

Philip was silent for a while. “Tell me, Wynn, do you like working in that company?”

“I like it. My colleagues are nice to me,” Wynn said.

She continued talking about her experiences in the company.

Philip listened to her attentively. He then excused himself to go to the washroom and made a call there.

Soon, Henry Turner’s voice was heard over the phone. “What can I do for you today, Mr. Clarke?”

“You can proceed with discussing the collaboration between Turner’s Hospital and Beacon. Remember,

you only want to negotiate the terms with Wynn Johnston,” Philip said calmly.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Clarke. I’ll arrange for that,” Henry said courteously.

After Henry ended the call, he wanted to get one of his subordinates to carry out the order, but after

thinking about it, he decided to give a call himself to the chairman of Beacon Pharmaceutical.

Derrick Hall was currently seething in his office.

His lover was caught in an affair, and the manager of his marketing department had just resigned.

‘What the hell is going on today?’

At that time, his phone started ringing.

Derrick answered the phone and said angrily, ‘Who the hell are you? I told you before, no salesmen!

I’m not interested in buying new houses or personal loans!”

“Chairman Hall? I’m Henry Turner, not a salesman.” A voice boomed over the phone.

Henry Turner?

Derrick sat up in alert. He stood up from his chair and said apologetically, “Prof… Professor Turner?”

For the past few days, the collaboration between Beacon Pharmaceutical and Turner’s Hospital was

the only thing in Derrick’s mind.

He could not believe that Professor Henry Turner, the luminary of the medical world, had called him

personally.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, Professor Turner, I didn’t know it was you. I’ve been pestered by salesmen

recently and it’s been driving me crazy,” Derrick explained hastily, “Why did you call me though,

Professor Turner?”

Henry did not beat around the bush. “After doing my research on the various pharmaceutical

companies in Riverdale, I’ve decided that Turner’s Hospital shall collaborate with Beacon.”

‘Collaborate with Beacon?’

Derrick nearly jumped with excitement!

He did not expect that his dream collaboration would fall on his lap.

Was this finally a fortunate turn of events?

“Are you serious, Profession Turner? Are you really going to collaborate with us?”

“Of course, but there’s a condition to it.”

“Just speak whatever condition you may have. It is my honor to be able to collaborate with Turner’s

Hospital.” Derrick could not hold back his excitement.

“I can only negotiate the terms of this collaboration with Wynn Johnston from your company, and I can

only sign the contract with her,” Henry said.

“Of course, we’d like to get the contract signed today if possible. Otherwise, we might go and look for

another company.”

‘Wynn Johnston?’

Derrick was stunned. However, he instantly agreed to it. “Alright, alright, Professor Turner. I’ll inform

Manager Johnston right now.”

After the call ended, Derrick was worried.

‘Why does Henry Turner only want to sign the contract with Wynn?

‘Unless… he knew Wynn personally?

‘Oh no!

‘Wynn had resigned just earlier!’

Sweat streamed down Derrick’s forehead. He quickly gave Wynn a call.

Meanwhile, back in the cafe, Wynn’s phone started ringing just as Philip returned to his seat. She saw

that the call was from Derrick and was reluctant to pick it up.

Philip smiled. “Why don’t you answer it? It might be good news.”

Wynn furrowed her brows but answered the call anyway. “Is there anything else, Chairman Hall?”

“Where are you, Manager Johnston? Do you think we can meet up and talk?” Derrick sounded

incredibly anxious.

It was a chance in a lifetime to collaborate with Turner’s Hospital. He did not want to miss the chance.

“I’m sorry, Chairman Hall, but I’ve already resigned from the company,” Wynn said coldly, “There is

nothing between us to talk anymore.”

Wynn prepared to hang up after saying that.

“Don’t, don’t! Manager Johnston!” Derrick shouted, “Please listen to me!

“How about this, I’m offering you the post of vice-president. Of course, your salary will be adjusted to fit

your new position too. I’ll also take out one million from my pocket for Mila’s medical funds. How about

that?” Derrick tried to tempt her.

“What’s going on, Chairman Hall?” Wynn was surprised.

Derrick became more worried than ever. “How about this, Manager Johnston. Let’s meet up

somewhere and we’ll talk.”

Wynn thought about it for a while and eventually told him where she was. After she ended the call, she

exhaled deliberately, then looked at Philip confusedly. “Philip, do you know, Derrick is asking me to go

back. He offered the vice president’s post to me.”

Philip smiled and pretended to be excited. “That’s good news! Mila and I will be depending on you from

now on.”

Wynn looked at him with mock anger. “Why did it turn out that way?”

Philip sipped his coffee.

“Do you want to know?”
