Sweet Twins Indulge in Daddy's Love
Chapter 141 A Competition

Jessie had no reason to act out in any way.

"Don't cry, dear. I'll sort things out." Nancy rushed into Jessie's office, in the hopes of gaining more information about what happened. She slightly pushed the door and went inside.

Nancy had a lot to say. However, before she could even speak, Jessie had already began talking. "Look who finally decided to come to work. I am truly surprised," Jessie mockingly said. "Have you heard the news? I'm quite sure you have. Apparently, your beloved Mr. Fu was engaged to Miss Zhuang. I feel sorry for you... Take my advice; start sort things out before they get out of hand. But you do realize that Mr. Fu is now beyond your reach, right?" Jessie would say everything to hurt Nancy. "It would be best to accept that you are never worthy of him," she added.

Nancy already had too much on her plate. She decided not to acknowledge any of the remarks Jessie made. Nancy simply said, "Charles' engagement is none of our business. I'm here on behalf of Erin. Why did you hit her? Did she say something wrong?"

Jessie felt a bit castigated. She replied, "You can't walk over me simply because this hospital value your skills over mine. You really are an arrogant bitch, most especially when you were dating Mr. Fu. You acted as if no one could stand in your way." Jessie took a breath and continued, "You did not even show respect towards your seniors, myself included. You treated me-the director of this hospital-as if I were your assistant. How do you feel about all of these? Too much, isn't it?" Jessie aired out all the hate and anger that she bore. She had waited for quite a while for that opportunity. She had always envied Nancy, and had always seen the lady as her rival.

Jessie had always wished for Nancy and Charles' breakup. That breakup could really benefit her. Nancy would lose some of her influence in the hospital, thus giving Jessie the opportunity to overtake her rival. That breakup would truly ease not only her mind, but also her body.

Well, that day came sooner than Jessie had thought. She was among those people who were glad to hear that news.

Nancy stood her ground and said, "How did I ever bully you? If you truly think that highly of yourself, then get rid of the people that serve no purpose. But then again, don't forget that you are just a director in this hospital." Nancy's heart pounded erratically. Wanting to avoid further discussions, so she turned around and left. There was a light thud as she closed the door behind her. Nancy went straight to Hobart's office.

"President Hobart?" Nancy said as she entered the room. Hobart momentarily stopped reading and replied, "Yes, Dr. Nancy?"

"Does your offer to run the Second Pediatric Department still stand?" she asked.

"Of course it does," Hobart said as he nodded. "I was only waiting for you to come around... We can open it as soon as you are ready, Nancy," the man replied with a smile.

Nancy felt a huge relief. "Thank you, President. Let's do it as soon as possible," she said pleasantly

"You don't need to worry about a thing. Leave everything to me, and I will get them sorted out." Nancy was happy to be dismissed with such a reassuring note.

The setup of the Second Pediatric Department was expected by Jessie. As a matter of fact, she was the one who was most unconvinced since Nancy came, so she also wanted to have a fair competition with her. Now it was a real competition.

She believed that she would never lose to Nancy. Jessie could already sense her victory.

Jessie had always been very arrogant.

And being arrogant meant being over-confident.

Nancy was just about to finish her final task when Doris called. Nancy was told that Nadia had already been picked up from the kindergarten.

Moreover, Doris told Nancy to come home early for she had something important to say.

Nancy never liked those kinds of uncertainty. Doris had been unusual lately, and so Nancy was truly intrigued by what Doris had to say.

Nancy said, "Why are you acting so suspiciously? Please tell me you have some good news." She desperately needed to hear something good after a day of hard work.

"Don't ask any more questions," Doris replied. "Just come home early so I can tell you." Doris knew she had to keep the suspense in order for her friend to do as she wanted. 'What a weird girl!' Nancy thought to herself as she walked downstairs.

Once again, she bumped into Jessie. As soon as she saw Nancy, Jessie said, "Congratulations on the Second Pediatric Department. You're finally becoming a director, aren't you?"

Nancy, who was eager to get home, abruptly replied, "Still, I'll just be a doctor treating patients. There's nothing exciting about it." Jessie replied, "You're still proud as ever, aren't you? Let's see how you'll fare without Charles."

Jessie wanted to kick Nancy out of the department so badly. The mere sight of Nancy greatly disturbed her.

She could never feel comfortable with Nancy around.

Only when Nancy left did she feel safe.

When Nancy got home from work, she saw Doris and Nadia sitting on the sofa.

She went inside to change her shoes. However, Doris came to her and said, "Don't change them. Just hurry up and get dressed, for tonight I've got a date for you..."

Surprised, Nancy replied, "Who invited us for dinner?"

"Not us, stupid. Just you," Doris said as she walked over towards Nancy.

Nancy was utterly confused. She didn't have a single clue on what was going on.

"You're a smart person. How can you be so dumbfounded? Don't look at me like that." Doris took her phone out of her pocket. She continued, "A gorgeous man is currently waiting for you at the Cameleon Hotel. Write this down and meet him there."

Nancy finally figured things out. She realized that Doris had set her up for a blind date.

"Are you crazy? I don't even know what the man looks like. How could you set me up like this? This is not fair," Nancy replied. She blushed out of embarrassment.

Doris tried her best to convince Nancy. "Well, you won't know until you see him, will you?" she teased. "Meet with him. Then, you'll know who the guy is. And don't worry about it. I know you'll replace him to be good guy. Now, go!" Doris further added, "Dress up and do some fabulous makeup. Make sure that you make a lasting impression."

Doris could not contain her excitement as Nancy got ready for the blind date. She helped Nancy get dressed, and even lent her a few makeups. She wanted her pairing to work out.

"You look fabulous. I'm sure that you will rock. Good luck and have fun!" Doris kissed Nancy's cheek as she finished speaking.

"Don't be too mushy," Nancy replied. Doris' excitement was too much for her.

"You should get going, Nancy. Nadia and I will look for a place to eat. I'll take care of her. Take your time and come back whenever you want." Doris pushed Nancy out of the door as she said those words. She added, "It's okay if you don't come home tonight!"

Nancy felt like she was being rushed. She felt as if she were a duckling that had been thrown into a river. However, Nancy knew that she had to move forward no matter what.

Before long, she left for the hotel. Nancy trip to the hotel was mostly filled by thoughts about who her blind date was. She came out of the car as soon as she arrived at the hotel, and was baffled by the beauty of that giant building.

Nancy went to the floor where she should meet her date.

She searched for table 21. 'There it is,' Nancy thought as she walked over towards table 21. Nancy smiled when she saw who her date was, and said, "How can it be you? What are you doing here?"

Doris had set her friend up with Jerome. He handed his date a glass of wine as he said, "Didn't you expect me to be your date?"

"Doris didn't tell me anything. You both must've planned this, and I have fallen for your trick," Nancy replied as she fixed herself on the chair.

"Would you like to cancel this blind date?1 Jerome intently looked into Nancy's eyes.

He somehow felt offended by her remarks.

Nancy was shaken by his doing; she replied with laughter.

"Ha-ha! That's funny. No... It's just that I prefer that you came to me directly, rather than coming up with a plan as bizarre as this one." Nancy conveyed her point clearly. She did not mean to sound brash. "To tell you the truth, I've always had a crush on you, Nancy. Give this date a chance, and leave if things don't work out for you." He shrugged right before he finished his sentence. Jerome was apparently sincere.

"Well, you don't mind it?"

Jerome was a sharp guy. He knew exactly what Nancy was talking about-her relationship with Charles. He had no intentions of blowing up his chance with Nancy. "Mind what?" he replied very openly. "Everyone has a past," he continued. "Your past has nothing to do with this moment, more especially with me. What's important is that you are here, sharing this moment with me."

His words amused Nancy. "Not surprising for a university professor. You are truly wise and considerate, I must say," Nancy said with a smile.

Jerome who was pleased by her answer, replied, "Well then, what would you like to eat? You go and order whatever you want," Jerome said as he handed the menu to Nancy. The man could not stop smiling. Nancy ordered her favorites: shrimp balls, roast chicken wings, and a small cold dish.

Jerome, on the other hand, ordered a couple of vegan dishes for himself, along with a mug of beer.

"I'm currently trying to lose weight, so I don't eat oily stuff." He felt like he should defend himself as-unlike him-Nancy had ordered meat dishes.
