Since that miscarriage, Lu Anran had suffered insomnia. She would wake up at wee hours and stay awake until the sky brightened.

The last time she woke up at sunrise seemed to be ages ago.

After being in a daze for only a minute, she hurriedly got up, washed up quickly, and ran downstairs.

She was late.

She left early yesterday and was late again today. She thought about how she had to make up an excuse because she was meeting the head of the department in a while.

However, when she went to the hospital, she heard that the director of the department had an operation. It was a major heart transplant operation, and he probably wouldn’t finish before she got off work. She had to find the director of the personnel department by herself, or else, it would become an unexcused absence if she dragged it out until after work.

The head of the HR department’s surname was Huang, and he was an old man below 50 years old. He was notorious for molesting female doctors and nurses in the hospital. However, he was the dean’s brother, so no one dared to provoke him. Everyone hid and stayed out of his crosshairs.

Although the office door was open, Lu Anran stood at the door and knocked a few times before entering.

When Director Huang saw that it was her, he immediately moved his gaze away from the computer screen. He stared at her up and down, then narrowed his perverted little eyes and said, “You’re dressed very well today. You look so pretty. I rarely see you in a skirt.”

Lu Anran used to stay in a dormitory very close to the emergency building, so she walked through the basement parking within five minutes. She simply didn’t bother to change clothes, and her white coat was almost always on her body.

She was in a hurry to go out this morning, so she pulled out a skirt from the clothes she brought back yesterday.

The expression in Director Huang’s eyes disgusted her. She stood a meter away from the desk and planned to leave as soon as she’s done. However, before she could even speak, she saw the man who was originally sitting in the chair stand up and walk towards her. Looking at her skirt, he said, “Your legs are so beautiful. They’re so slim, pale, and smooth.”

Upon hearing the old man speak more disrespectfully, Lu Anran frowned. As soon as her expression changed, she heard Director Huang ask her, “You’ve gotten better? I thought you had to rest for a few more days.”

She was taken aback, and the excuse she had prepared in advance felt stuck in her throat.

Director Huang took a sip of the tea on the table, fixed his eyes on her neckline, and smiled. “Director Wang called me early in the morning and said that you had a high fever last night. You were in distress all night and forgot to ask for a leave.”

She was a little surprised. “Our Director Wang?”

The surgical department director’s surname was Wang. He was an old professor who was over 60 years old. He was a bigshot. He usually treated young doctors like them with a straight face. How could he take the initiative to ask for a leave for her?

Lu Anran’s mind raced, and she soon thought of Gu Liangchen. His influence had no bounds. The Gu Corporation’s business was also in the medical industry, so it was normal for him to be familiar with Director Wang.

Since he had arranged things for her already, Lu Anran didn’t refute anything and consented.

Director Huang was unexpectedly interested in this matter and said deliberately, “Director Wang seemed to take care of you very much. He even knew that you had a fever in the middle of the night.”

Lu Anran had a cold expression on her face. “What do you want to say, Director Huang?”

Director Huang put down the teacup in his hand, touched his chin, and laughed. “I know all about your dad. It’s not as good as you following me. If Director Wang can help you, I can help you, and he’s old. I’m sure I can satisfy you better than him…”

With that said, he suddenly rushed over to hug her. Lu Anran slapped him without even thinking about it.

Director Huang wasn’t expecting that from Lu Anran, and he was a little dazed by the slap. By the time he reacted, Lu Anran was already out of the office.

He roared towards the door, “How dare you hit me? Just you wait for me!”
