Chapter 11

The next morning, Lisa felt relaxed. She didn't have to squeeze with the crowd in the bus. Instead, Lisa rode in her wife's luxury sports car to work together.

Of course, it was still impossible for them to enter the company together.

Just like the first day, Jennie let Lisa off a few hundred meters away from the company and asked her to walk to the company.

Lisa was in a good mood after the reconciliation with Jennie last night. She was carrying a smile all day.

As it was getting near to the end of day, Lisa, who was preparing to pack his things to go home, received a call from an unknown number.

"Excuse me, is this Ms. Lisa?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded very respectful.

"I am. May I know you are -" Lisa was a little confused.

I'm Harry Xu. I would like to invite Ms. Manoban for dinner." The man said excitedly.

"Harry Xu?" Hearing this name, Lisa was unable to come to her senses for a short while.

The person on the other side of the phone sensed the confusion in Lisa's voice and quickly added, "I'm the old man you saved in the mall yesterday."

After he heard this, Lisa came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Oh, Mr. Xu. I remember you now."

"Ms. Manoban, I wanted to invite you to have a meal to express my gratitude." Harry Xu said.

Lisa replied, "Mr. Xu, there's no need to do so. It was nothing much."

"Ms. Manoban, you might deem what you have done as a small deed, but for me, you've saved my life. I have to at least treat you to a meal anyhow. If Ms. Manoban is not free today, you can pick any other time." Harry Xu sincerely said.

At this point, Lisa could only agree to the invitation, "In that case, let's have a meal together after work today."

"Sure, 6:30 in the evening at Grand Duke Hotel, are you okay with it?" Harry Xu asked.

"Grand Duke Hotel!" The name sounded a little familiar to Lisa. After a while, she finally recalled her coworkers often brought up this hotel in their conversation. It was a well-known five star hotel in Bay City. Of course, it was also very expensive. Working men with average pay could never afford having a meal at such a hotel.

Having Mr. Xu invite her to such a luxurious hotel slightly surprised Lisa.

However, Lisa was only surprised, nothing more than that. She did not say anything else and continued, "Sure, I will be there by then."

Hanging up the phone, Lisa looked at her watch. There's not much time left from end of working hour. Thus, Lisa took the initiative to call Jennie and informed her that she had to go out for dinner after work today and would not go home right after work.

After work, Lisa left the company and took a cab to Grand Duke Hotel.

As soon as Lisa walked through the entrance of the hotel, a waiter dressed in formal suit came up to her with a smile, "Are you Mr. Lisa? Please come in."

"Do you know me?" Lisa looked at the waiter in surprise.

The waiter smiled and said, "Mr. Xu asked me to greet you at the entrance. Mr. Xu has already booked a place and is now waiting for your arrival."

"....." Listening to the waiter, Lisa couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. This caused her to be slightly intrigued by Mr. Xu's identity.

Mr. Xu did not only invite her to have a dinner at Grand Duke Hotel but was also able to arrange people to welcome her at the entrance. With such wealth, Harry Xu probably was not an ordinary person.

Lisa then followed the waiter into the hotel and came to a well-decorated private room.

"Ms. Manoban, you're finally here!" Seeing Lisa, Harry Xu immediately got up and greeted her with a smile.

Lisa shook hands with Mr. Xu and immediately said, "Mr. Xu, you are too polite. You can just call me Lisa."

"Alright then, I'll call you Lisa then." Mr. Xu smiled and invited Lisa to take a seat.

"It's time to serve," Mr. Xu said to the waiter.

Soon, the dishes were served. Lisa looked at the numerous delicate dishes which came up to more than twenty of them - all of which were perfect with appetizing color, aroma, and taste. This further confirmed Mr. Xu's identity as a wealthy man.

"Lisa, thank you so much." Mr. Xu took the initiative to pour a glass of wine and said "To express my gratitude, I would like to propose a toast to you, Lisa."

Lisa quickly said, "Mr. Xu, your body has just recovered. You'd better not consume any alcohol."

Mr. Xu paused for a moment and then with a smile, he replied, "Well, since you said so, I will propose a toast to you with tea instead of wine."

After that, Mr. Xu poured a cup of tea, gave Lisa a toast, and then drank it up.

Lisa also picked up her glass and drank her tea.

After drinking, Mr. Xu served Lisa with some food and thanked her once again.

When the atmosphere seemed right, Mr. Xu put down his glass, looked at Lisa and asked, "Lisa, I wonder where you're working now."

Lisa didn't intend to hide anything and said directly "I'm a doctor in the medical department of Kim Enterprises Holdings Inc.

"What?" Mr. Xu frowned, "Kim Enterprises Holdings Inc's medical department, this - Lisa, with your medical skills, it's such a waste for you to work there!"

Lisa smiled and replied, "No, I am very happy with my current job."

"Lisa, may I know if you're considering a change of job?" Harry Xu asked.

"Ah, this----" Lisa couldn't come up with an answer for a second.

Harry Xu continued, "Well, Lisa. I've seen a lot of doctors and even visited doctors abroad several times. I've spent a lot of money to treat my illness, but the effect is poor."

"I didn't expect that I would be coincidentally treated by you yesterday in the mall. I got so much better. When I went back for a check-up, even the doctor was very surprised." Harry Xu continued, "So, I would like to hire you to be my private doctor."

"A private doctor?" Lisa didn't expect Mr. Xu to make such an offer to her Mr.

Xu quickly added, "Of course, I can guarantee that you will be compensated fairly. In terms of salary, 100,000 Yuan a month. Also, I will provide you with food and accommodation. Lisa, what do you think?"

"Ah-" Lisa was genuinely surprised. She didn't expect Mr. Xu to offer such a great package. To be honest, Lisa's monthly salary as a doctor in the medical department was not more than 5,000 Yuan.

However, money was just a number for Lisa. It was not something she would pay much attention to.

Moreover, Lisa had a beautiful wife in Kim Enterprises Holdings Inc, even though they were not in love with each other now and was only wife and wife in name.

As soon as this thought came up, Lisa shook her head and said to Mr. Xu, "Mr. Xu, I appreciate your kindness but I am very happy with my current work and I'm not thinking of changing my job for the time being."

"Lisa, is the offered not up to your standard? What kind of requirements do you have? Feel free to bring it up." Mr. Xu said hurriedly.

Lisa smiled gently, "Mr. Xu, this is not a matter of compensation, but my personal choice."

Mr. Xu was slightly disappointed, but he regained his composure immediately. Mr. Xu said, "It is my mistake. I'm too anxious. I'm really sorry. Let's not talk about work. We'd better continue to eat up. This meal is just to express my gratitude to you, Lisa. Believe me, I didn't mean anything else."
