Chapter 537: Recap II
Elijah drove out of the construction site and merged into one of the busier roads in the city, traffic moving steadily in both directions. His mind was still juggling the mall project, the Valencia meeting, and Phantom’s update when something ahead caught his attention. At first, he thought he was mistaken. Then he looked again. Walking along the sidewalk near a bus stop was a familiar figure, calm and composed despite the rush around her. Celeste Morgan. He slowed the car instinctively. She was the doctor from the city hospital, the same woman who had taken care of Sierra the first time she was nearly assaulted, the one who had handled everything with quiet professionalism and dignity. The second time he had met her was that night, when he had given her a lift unexpectedly after spotting her stranded on the roadside. That encounter had been brief but memorable. And now here she was again. She was dressed simply, in a light beige blouse tucked neatly into a knee-leng

She looked up at him, surprised by the option. “I won’t force you into anything,” he added, his tone steady. “If you’re uncomfortable, wait here.” Celeste hesitated for a second, then stepped fully out of the car and closed the door behind her. “If you’re going in,” she said quietly, “I’m not staying behind.” They stepped into the hospital lobby, the cool air and familiar scent of antiseptic surrounding them. Nurses moved past with files in hand, a few patients sat in the waiting area, and the reception desk was busy as usual. Elijah slowed his steps slightly and turned to Celeste. “Lead me to the head,” he said calmly. “Or whoever holds the highest position here.” She blinked. “Elijah…” she began, uncertainty clear in her voice. “I’m not here to create a scene,” he added quietly, his expression firm but controlled. “Just take me to the top.” Celeste hesitated. Her eyes flickered briefly toward the corridors ahead, her mind running through the hospital hierarchy — senior cons

Elijah’s fingers tightened slightly on the steering wheel, but he didn’t interrupt.“He made it clear that if I wanted smoother progress in the department, I should be… closer to him,” she continued, her voice controlled but firm. “A personal arrangement.”Elijah understood immediately.“And you refused,” he said.She nodded once. “I refused.”There was no drama in her tone, just quiet resolve.“He didn’t argue openly,” she added. “He just waited. Then suddenly there were ‘performance concerns,’ protocol violations, committee reviews. It was subtle, but effective.”Elijah was stunned for a moment.Celeste was intelligent, professional, and undeniably beautiful. It unfortunately made sense that someone in power might attempt something like that, but that didn’t make it acceptable.“And no one questioned it?” he asked.She gave a faint, tired smile. “Hospitals protect senior consultants. Assistants are replaceable.”The car remained silent for a few seconds after that.Elijah’s expressi

Chapter 534
That same day, after the tension of the morning had settled and the conversation about Sierra’s business had been paused for later, Elijah dressed quietly.A few minutes later, he stepped out of the house and into the compound. The air outside felt cooler, steadier. He unlocked his car, slid into the driver’s seat, and shut the door firmly. For a brief moment, he sat there with both hands resting on the steering wheel before he drove out of the estate.Soon Elijah arrived at the construction site of his mall project, and the place was already alive with activity. Heavy machines stood at different corners, some digging deep into the ground, others lifting materials from one point to another. Trucks were parked nearby with sand and gravel being poured steadily, workers guiding the flow while others focused on reinforcing the foundation.The sound of metal against metal, engines running, and instructions being shouted filled the air, but everything was organized.
