Chapter 655 Socializing

The first thing that Nancy saw when she opened her eyes was Nadia’s face.

Although she still felt a little sleepy, she smiled at Nadia and greeted, "Good morning, sweetie. Okay, I’ll
get up now."

Instinctively, Nancy looked at Charles' side of the bed, but he wasn't there.

So, she turned to Nadia and asked, "Where is your Daddy?"

At first, Nancy thought that Charles probably slept in the guest room because he came home late last
night and he didn’t want to disturb her sleep.

"I don't know. I'm going to look for Daddy." When Nadia ran out of the room, Nancy also got out of the
bed lazily.

"Why do I feel that I just fell asleep and it's dawn now?"

On a second thought, Nancy knew that it was because of the sleeping pills that she didn't notice that
the time passed quickly.

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Nancy went into the kitchen to make breakfast for the
children.

It was when Nadia rushed into the kitchen, out of breath. "Mommy, I've searched every room, but I
didn't find Daddy. I also searched the garden where he always exercises, but he’s not there either. He
didn't come home last night. Where did he go?"

Hearing this made Nancy's hands tremble. Charles didn't come home, which meant he had spent the
night with Brandy, right?



'Charles, you are really something!'

There were mixed feelings in her heart, but Nancy looked as calm as the spring breeze when she
looked at her daughter. "Nadia, maybe Daddy stayed in the hotel or in the office after socializing."

Since her explanation was impeccable, Nadia nodded with a proud smile on her face. "Daddy is a
hardworking man, right Mommy?"

"Yes." Looking at the respect and pride on Nadia's face, how could Nancy hurt her with the truth?

In every child’s heart lived a gentle mother and a powerful father. For the time being, Nancy wanted to
keep it that way for her children.

"Daddy is awesome, so is Mommy." Nadia went to the living room happily, while Nancy continued
making breakfast absentmindedly.

For so many times, she had reminded herself that she had nothing to do with Charles anymore and
that they only got together because of the children.

They both had the right to choose who to love again. They should be free now from each other.

No, Charles said she was not allowed to leave.

This overbearing man was free to do anything he wanted, but he didn't allow her to do what she
wanted to do. How unfair was that?

With this thought, Nancy put the breakfast on the table and asked the children to eat. She had warned
Bobby not to bully Nadia, and she also told Nadia not too much.

It was really troublesome to deal with two children alone. Charles must have had a hard time in the
past.



As a doctor, Nancy had always been busy with her work, so Charles was the one who took care of the
children alone.

Even so, Nancy had never heard a single complaint from him.

It made her realize that Charles had supported her work most of the time. He hadn't always been
unreasonable like she first thought.

Now, Nancy thought of Charles' kindness.

But Charles... He was with another woman...

Not willing to think about it anymore, Nancy drove the children to the kindergarten.

Then she drove straight to the hospital after. The moment she entered the elevator, her confidence
came back.

A smile was plastered on her face when she walked out and saw Erin.

"Director Nancy?"

"What happened?" asked Nancy out of habit.

"It's not about the hospital, did you... see that?" There was a hint of hesitation in Erin’s voice.

"What?" The smile on Nancy’s face disappeared out of confusion.

"Oh, it's just on the internet. You have occupied the top search these days. But I don't think it's a good
thing." Looking at the confused expression on Nancy's face, Erin guessed that she might not know
what had happened yet.

So, she took out her phone, clicked something on it, and handed it to Nancy.



As soon as Nancy saw Charles and Brandy on the screen, her mind went blank.

How could Charles be so careless to let the paparazzi take photos of him and Brandy this soon?

It was not a big deal for Nancy, but he should have thought about what the children would feel once
they saw this.

With a forced smile, she said, "They just had a drink together. Don't make a fuss."

"Director Nancy, look at this one." When Erin scrolled to another photo, Nancy squinted. In this photo,
Brandy and Charles were drinking cross-cupped wine.

Charles looked intoxicated, while Brandy was in high spirits.

The two were both intoxicated, weren't they?

"Okay, I see. Erin, we are here to work, to treat patients, not to talk about these boring rumors. Charles
is free to be with anyone he likes. You don't have to pay attention to him in the future. Let's work."

Pretending not to be affected, Nancy walked straight ahead.

In a hurry, Erin put away her phone when and grabbed Nancy's arm when she realized where she was
heading to.

"Director Nancy, you should be in your original office. Where are you going?"

Thinking that Brandy was occupying it, she replied, "That office is no longer mine."

"It's not what you think. As soon as you let yesterday afternoon, Brandy asked someone to move out all
her things and put back yours. She asked me to tell you that you can directly come to your private
office once you arrive. Well, she treats people nicely. But I don't know if it's true or not."



"Oh? Is that what you think? To be honest, Nancy didn't know much about Brandy; she seemed so kind
to her.

It was just that it seemed like there was always something hidden behind her smile.

Was she hiding something? Was she sophisticated?

Nancy didn't know.

"Director Nancy, that's your office. It's natural for you to go back. You don't have to worry about it," Erin
whispered.

"No, I won't. Just leave it there." As Nancy spoke, she continued to walk towards the shared office.

"It's so strange. Why don't you want such a good office? I want to use it, but I don't have the right."
Shaking her head, Erin watched Nancy walk away.

It was understandable that Erin was on guard against Brandy. She always felt that Brandy was a
smiling tiger, seemingly gentle and lovely, but actually cruel and merciless.

There was no doubt that was not as kind-hearted and innocent as Nancy.

As soon as Nancy entered the shared office, all the doctors inside stood up at the same time.

They greeted, "Director Nancy."

This kind of address made Nancy uncomfortable. After all, she was no longer a director.

So she coughed awkwardly and said, "Please don't call me Director Nancy anymore. I'm just an
ordinary doctor like you now."



"We are used to calling you Director Nancy. It's really hard for us to change the way we call you." The
doctors smiled respectfully at her.

"Then keep in mind that the current director is Brandy. Don't make any mistake in front of her, or
everyone will be embarrassed." Afraid that it could cause misunderstandings, Nancy reminded.
