Consequences of Dumping the Obsessive Boss: Stuck with Him Forever-Chapter 95: The Surprise Brought by a Best Friend

Vivian Sullivan’s big round eyes blinked with grievance: "Yeah, seeing how busy you are, I wanted to cheer you up, so I brought myself to you! Wait, why don’t you look surprised at all? Summer Lowell, do you have a dog outside?"

Summer Lowell raised both hands, pleading repeatedly: "No, no, I’m just so happy that I didn’t react right away."

"Alright, today really is a coincidence," Vivian Sullivan took her hand, holding it in her own palm, "I was just thinking this morning, after seeing patients I would call you, and it happened that I have more than two hours off at noon. I didn’t expect you to appear on your own."

Summer Lowell was also happy to see her and turned to explain to the assistant who was in a daze: "This is my good friend and long-time best buddy, Vivian Sullivan. We have known each other for many years."

Vivian Sullivan raised her right hand and waggled her fingers to greet the assistant: "Hello, you’re Assistant Fletcher, right? I’ve heard Summer mention you before, saying you’re very efficient and have helped her a lot. I didn’t expect you to be so pretty in person. No wonder Summer always praises you for being both beautiful and highly competent."

Hearing her compliment, Assistant Fletcher looked a bit embarrassed, lowered her head slightly, and greeted Vivian Sullivan back.

After greeting, she worriedly placed the scans she was holding in front of Vivian Sullivan: "Could Dr. Sullivan please check Director Lowell’s ankle. You know how Director Lowell is. She doesn’t take small injuries seriously."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot she came for a follow-up," Vivian Sullivan picked up the scans and carefully examined them against the light, "There’s nothing wrong with the bone!"

"The bone was never the problem. It’s just a minor sprain I’ve been nursing for three days. I feel completely recovered, but the doctors at the hospital insisted I come for a follow-up today. My assistant was worried and brought me here first thing in the morning."

As Summer Lowell spoke, she raised her sprained foot in front of Vivian Sullivan: "Look at my ankle, slender and beautiful, doesn’t look any different from usual, right?"

Seeing this, Vivian Sullivan playfully slapped her right foot and then grabbed Summer’s slender ankle before she could pull it back. Her fingers gently covered it, slowly massaging to feel beneath the skin.

With her serious demeanor, Summer Lowell felt her heart hang along with the atmosphere.

After a long time, Summer Lowell tentatively asked Vivian Sullivan: "Why do you look so serious? It’s just a regular sprain, right? You don’t need to put on that expression; you’re making me very anxious!"

Vivian Sullivan’s hands were both on her right ankle and she stared at Summer Lowell with a stern look for a good while before bursting into laughter: "Just messing with you, your foot is fine. It’s completely healed now."

Summer’s expression finally softened, then she angrily tapped Vivian’s arm: "That glare of yours scared me to death. How old are you to still joke like this? Look, you scared my assistant so much her face’s gone pale!"

Standing nearby, Assistant Fletcher instinctively touched her face, then awkwardly smiled: "As long as Director’s fine, I can rest assured. President Norris just messaged asking about your condition, should I reply to him now?"

Summer Lowell smiled and nodded, then turned back to Vivian Sullivan: "Did you just mention you have a two-hour break at noon?"

"Yeah, are you coming to visit me? I checked the map this morning since I was free, and it seems your company isn’t close to this hospital. If you come over, you might spend a lot of time on the road."

As Vivian Sullivan spoke, she opened the map app on her phone, found Summer Lowell’s company location, and showed it to her.

This Mercy Hospital is indeed a bit far from the city center. Summer was sent here initially because, although it’s a bit out of the way, it’s very close to Clearwater Mountain Villa.

Moreover, this private hospital is partly owned by Ms. Venus, whose personal doctor also works here.

Vivian Sullivan flipped through a small notebook nearby for a while and troubledly explained to Summer Lowell: "I have a very important meeting at 2:30 in the afternoon, and it’s a crucial educational meeting that I cannot miss. After that, I have to follow the attending physician to the wards."

The implication was that Vivian Sullivan couldn’t take time off to visit Summer Lowell.

Summer Lowell understood her difficulties and turned to ask Assistant Fletcher: "Can you check my schedule for today? If the tasks aren’t many or very important, I’d like to finish work early in the morning and come over here."

Earlier, when Vivian Sullivan looked troubled explaining her busy afternoon, Assistant Fletcher had already opened her tablet and checked Summer Lowell’s schedule for the day.

As soon as Summer Lowell finished speaking, Assistant Fletcher handed her the tablet, circling a time slot with her finger: "You mentioned yesterday that between 10 and 11 AM today, you have to visit a nearby jewelry market for research."

Summer Lowell casually cleared the market research plan from the tablet and smiled charmingly: "This research can be done anytime; it’s not urgent. Let’s cancel it first, and I’ll come over after arranging work at the company."

"You don’t need to rush," Vivian Sullivan worriedly glanced at Summer Lowell’s ankle, "though it’s not bone-related, it’s still a sprain. You should be careful. Besides, I won’t be available until noon and have patients to attend to until then. If you come too early, you’ll just have to wait around."

"My work time is very valuable. I wouldn’t waste it just waiting for you."

Summer Lowell rolled her eyes elegantly.

Seeing her expression, Vivian Sullivan couldn’t help but pinch her cheek.

This was a game they loved playing since childhood, and Summer Lowell, for years, would surrender at the sight of it.

"There are some famous eateries around here. I had the pleasure of trying two with my boss before; they’re quite good. I’ll send you the address, and you can go directly there when the time comes. I’ll wait for you at the restaurant."

Not wanting to lose face in front of her assistant, Summer Lowell slyly crouched away and rubbed her pinched cheeks: "Can’t you give me a bit of face even in front of my assistant? It makes my work difficult!"

Having not been with Summer Lowell long enough to understand her temperament fully, Assistant Fletcher mistook her words as serious and quickly found an excuse to leave the consultation room.
