Chapter 842: Chapter 838: So Fond Of That I Want To Possess
Because of Isabelle Bailes, Richelle Dunn had inexplicably felt jealous, and Roy Lewis’s mood had been excellent for several days in a row.
He even secretly transferred a not-too-small amount of money to Nathan Caroule, claiming it was a bonus for his extra work recently.
At first, Nathan didn’t understand and even wondered if Roy had made a mistake.
“Roy, it’s true that I’ve been working extra lately, but Dr. Dunn is very fair and just. She gives me bonuses for official tasks and red envelopes for side jobs; I don’t work for nothing.”
Roy Lewis laughed.
“That’s because you’ve done me a side job this time!”
After hearing this, Nathan’s mind flashed, and he recalled when Richelle had asked about Roy’s romantic history.
“Roy, did you give me this bonus because I told Dr. Dunn about your past ‘romantic history’?”
Roy Lewis candidly replied.
“Yes, fortunately, you know the whole thing, otherwise I would have been wronged.”
As men, Nathan understood his thoughts.
He held back a smirk and teased him, “Roy, are you happy because Dr. Dunn felt jealous?”
Roy Lewis openly admitted it.
“Of course, I’m happy. If you didn’t have so many romantic encounters, would you mind Ms. Munni asking about your love life? You definitely wouldn’t mind, right?”
“Damn!”
Nathan hadn’t expected to dig such a big hole for himself, “Roy, you can’t do this to me. I filled the hole for you, but you dug a hole for me!”
Roy Lewis said.
“Did I dig that hole for you? It’s clear that you dug it for yourself. Isn’t there a saying ‘what goes around comes around’? This is exactly your situation!”
Nathan wanted to cry but had no tears.
“Roy, why do you have to bring up my miserable past while giving me a bonus, reminding me of my pains?”
Roy Lewis couldn’t help but gloat for once.
“What’s there to be sad about? Ms. Munni didn’t even hold you responsible!”
Nathan howled.
“Bro, just call me bro, please don’t mention this to Dr. Dunn. The jealousy of Denise, it’s really scary when it spills over!”
Richelle Dunn’s jealousy was like a small wave, pleasant to experience.
If Denise Munni were to be truly jealous, it would definitely be a violent storm that could capsize a boat.
Roy Lewis didn’t tease him any further, “Don’t worry, I won’t be that idle.”
Nathan promptly urged.
“Bro, even if you were that idle, please don’t think of me.”
Roy Lewis teased him with his words, but in his heart, he genuinely treated Nathan like a brother.
So, as for Nathan’s “dark past,” let alone bringing it up himself, even if Denise Munni asked, he wouldn’t mention it.
When it comes to feelings, it’s best not to have outsiders meddling.
Meanwhile, Richelle Dunn’s inexplicable jealousy had subsided after being comforted by Roy Lewis.
The next day at the hospital, she called Isabelle Bailes into her office.
Isabelle was somewhat nervous.
“If you are upset about me wanting Mr. Lewis’s autographed photo, I sincerely apologize to you again.”
Richelle Dunn gestured for her to sit down, as some things needed to be reiterated.
“Isabelle, I don’t know if you considered my feelings before making that request. My husband is not a public figure, and a picture is a very private item. When you ask me for my husband’s autographed photo, it makes me feel very uncomfortable. Of course, feelings are something we can’t control, but actions can be controlled.”
“You may not be able to control your thoughts, but I hope you can control your actions so as not to offend me or my husband.”
Richelle Dunn didn’t know if her reminder was too much.
But without reminding her, she couldn’t swallow her anger.
It is normal for good people or things to attract people’s affection.
But love is their own business; don’t think about owning it.
Especially, Roy Lewis is a married man.
Maybe Isabelle just thought that it was a simple photo, no big deal.
But Richelle didn’t think so.
And Richelle Dunn was a person who would never concede in matters of love and affection.
So, she told Isabelle Bailes about her true feelings.
Isabelle’s face turned red with shame.
“I’m really sorry, I didn’t think it through when I made that request. I didn’t realize that it would make you so uncomfortable. I’m really very sorry.”
Richelle Dunn’s expression was indifferent.
“If you’ve ever been in a relationship, you can imagine how it feels when someone of the opposite sex asks you for your boyfriend’s signed photograph.”
Isabelle’s face turned even redder, “I’m very sorry…”
Richelle Dunn’s expression softened a bit, “It’s alright. As long as we’ve clarified the issue, you should be compensated for your work. I’ve spoken to the Dean, and your bonus will be added to this month’s salary.”
Isabelle looked scared, “Dr. Dunn, can I still stay in your team?”
Richelle Dunn’s expression became serious.
“Whether you can stay or not depends on your subsequent work performance.”
Originally, Sonia Seaton had sent her as an intern.
Sonia Seaton was just a recommender, and whether Isabelle could stay depended ultimately on Richelle Dunn’s evaluation of her work ability.
