Hannah's voice sounded freaked out as she talked to Alden on the phone.
"What about Susan? You may not realize it, Mr. Alden... but Susan may hate me. Because it seems like I'm taking her position," Hannah continued at length.
There was only a small chuckle on the other end, as if Alden was laughing at Hannah's panic.
"I'm serious, Mr. Alden," Hannah pressed.
Alden's soothing voice only replied with a short statement, "I know."
"Maybe I'm just a toy or whatever, but don't make me suffer and feel uncomfortable any more. Can't I just stay at home? I'd rather serve you than face a hellish office situation."
This time Alden's laughter was uncontrollable. "You're so funny when you're scared, aren't you?"
Hannah couldn't find the words, she just took a long breath and tried to calm down.
"Do you like your new office?" Alden diverted the conversation.

Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair 105. The Guardian
Throughout the gala, Ashton remained glued to Hannah's side, attracting the attention of many guests. Ashton's acquaintances became curious about Hannah, but he skillfully steered the conversation back to the doctors attending the event.As the evening became more casual, Elizabeth left to mingle, and Hannah became increasingly uncomfortable with Ashton's constant presence. She decided to retreat to her table, only to have Ashton follow and take a seat next to her."Ashton, why don't you mingle and talk to other people?" Hannah asked, her tone tinged with annoyance."I'm tired." Ashton picked up a champagne glass, drained it in one sip, and set it down. "I'd rather sit here with you.""Gloria will be angry again. Come on, leave me alone," Hannah muttered, halfheartedly shooing him away.Instead of walking away, Ashton propped his elbows on the table and rested his chin on his hands as he stared intently at Hannah. His smile widened, and the playful

"It's Gloria," Elizabeth whispered. "Oh, dear. Shall we just go back? I don't want to make you uncomfortable, Hannah."Hannah knew that Elizabeth had been looking forward to the event, so there was no way they would leave. She quickly shook her head firmly, not wanting to disappoint Elizabeth."This is the event you've been waiting for." Hannah smiled reassuringly. "Nothing to worry about, Elizabeth. Let's go inside."They entered the great hall after signing the guest book and presenting their invitation. The place was filled with upper-class members, their glamorous appearances dazzling under the chandeliers. Hannah looked for her table number, which wasn't far from the stage, although it was on the edge.Those who recognized Elizabeth greeted her warmly. Elizabeth introduced Hannah to these acquaintances, and their conversations lasted no more than four minutes before they returned to their respective tables, where the event was about to begin.
Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair 103. Too Much Attention
Gloria hadn't shown up at the clinic in a week, leaving Hannah relieved and suspicious. She couldn't help but worry that Gloria might suddenly show up and confront her. Hannah wanted nothing more than to avoid any trouble.To make matters worse, Ashton had been paying Hannah an unusual amount of attention. Even the other staff noticed how differently he treated her. This only made Hannah more anxious because she wanted to remain professional.But who could resist the constant attention?Every day after work, Ashton insisted on driving Hannah home, even going out of his way to return to the clinic for her when he was supposed to be at the hospital. It made Hannah uncomfortable.For example, when she was about to leave today, Ashton intercepted her."I'll drive you home," Ashton said, not caring if she agreed.Lora and Wendy, standing with Hannah, exchanged knowing smiles before leaving."See you tomorrow, Hannah," Lora said, waving goo

“Lower your voice, Gloria. There’s no need to make a scene,” Ashton said calmly.“But...” Gloria’s suspicious look turned to Hannah. “Are you trying to deceive me, hey Admin?”“Her name is Hannah,” Ashton corrected. “And no, she’s not deceiving you.”“She’s pregnant!” Gloria exclaimed, pointing to Hannah. “And married!”“Pregnant but divorced,” Ashton corrected again.Gloria stood there stunned, as did Hannah. Hannah felt as if her defenses had crumbled. The last thing she wanted was for Gloria to know the truth about her marital status. But Ashton had already revealed it. This was going to be a disaster!“Are you telling me she’s divorced and pregnant?” Gloria asked in disbelief.“Yes, I am,” Hannah spoke up this time.“We’ll talk about this later, Gloria. I’m s
Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair 101. Sunday Date
Over the next few days, Hannah avoided Gloria whenever she showed up at the clinic. She did it skillfully. Almost every day before lunch, Gloria would arrive and linger, waiting like a watchdog for Ashton to finish with his patients.Hannah felt slightly sorry for Ashton, but she knew keeping quiet and avoiding further involvement with Gloria was better.On Sunday, Hannah spent the day resting in her room and watching television. She had prepared everything she needed for her interview the next day.A knock on her door startled her, and a maid called politely from outside.“Miss Hannah.”Hannah was surprised because the maids did not usually knock unless it was time for dinner. She quickly got out of bed and opened the door.“Miss Hannah, you have a guest,” the maid said.“A guest?” Hannah frowned. “Are you sure it’s for me? Not Elizabeth?”The maid chuckled. “I’
Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair 100. Hannah's Choice
Hannah felt terrible seeing Gloria at the clinic early in the morning, just as it opened. As Hannah stepped out of the pantry on her way to her office, Gloria stood in the hallway, staring at her with a sneer.Hannah considered ignoring Gloria, but that would surely lead to trouble. Reluctantly, she offered a polite smile.“Good morning, Miss Gloria,” Hannah greeted warmly.“Where’s Ashton?” Gloria asked.She didn’t even bother to return the greeting, instead crossing her arms and eyeing Hannah from head to toe.Hannah shook her head. “I don’t know. Dr. Ashton hasn’t arrived yet. Some of his patients may already be here, though.”“I’m not asking about his patients. I’m asking about Ashton,” Gloria snapped.“Dr. Ashton’s schedule is usually handled by the front office,” Hannah replied. “My job is purely administrative.”
