Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 39 Do you have a lot of confidence in him?

Miranda opened her eyes, a mocking smile crossing her stunning face. She felt a wave of turmoil within her.

"You talk to them? They're all my uncle's old subordinates, they don't even listen to me. Why would they listen to you?" she asked angrily. "Who do you think you are?"

"Lachlan, can't you stop causing trouble for me?" Miranda questioned him loudly with frustration and anger in her voice.

She was filled with negative emotions and couldn't help but vent them out on this guy.

As she spoke, tears of grievance streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Lachlan smiled and took Miranda's small hand in his own. "Trust me, okay?"

He knew how Miranda was feeling at the moment so he didn't take it personally.

Looking at the gentle smile on his face, for some reason Miranda's emotions stabilized.

Just now when she lashed out at him it wasn't because she really looked down on him but rather because she needed an outlet for all the pent-up frustration inside of her.

After calming herself down a bit, Miranda was surprised by how uncharacteristic that outburst had been from her who usually remained cool and collected even when unhappy - especially towards men..

Was this the behavior that only women should exhibit? And yet here she was, getting angry at this man. What was wrong with her? It seemed like she was truly losing it..

Miranda attributed her behavior to a sense of helplessness deep within herself. After a few seconds of silence, she nodded slowly and said, "Okay! I believe you."

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Miranda and Lachlan arrived at the company. When they reached the top floor, they saw more than ten people gathered around the CEO's office.

Shelly had a wry smile on her face as she tried to persuade these key members of the company.

"Oh look who finally decided to show up,” one person said.

"Ms. Lowe, my wife has been diagnosed with oral cancer and needs to go abroad for treatment. I need two months off,” another person said. "Ms. Lowe, my husband is going to have surgery in another country and also needs two months off,” yet another person chimed in.

"I'm sorry Ms. Lowe but I think our company is going bankrupt so I want to resign!” someone else exclaimed.

As soon as they saw Miranda approaching them, these key members started shouting all at once.

They either quit directly or took at least two months off. The timing was good though. If she hadn't achieved her goals in two months, it was probably time for her to leave.

The beautiful CEO's face turned red with anger, and she wanted nothing more than to kick these people out.

But after glancing at Lachlan beside her, she took a deep breath and said, "Alright! Whether you want to quit or take a leave of absence, come see me one by one. And give me some time; I have other things to deal with."

"Ms. Lowe, delaying won't help anything,” a middle-aged woman with lingering charm said. "I'm definitely quitting this job! If you don't approve it, I can report you to the relevant department!”

Miranda replied coldly, "Don't worry. We'll handle everything this morning! Shelly, come in here."

Shelly answered and followed Miranda into the office.

Lachlan followed behind them and closed the door.

"Go find all the information on those people outside for me!" Miranda instructed Shelly according to what Lachlan had told her before. "Not just their resumes but also their personal information like habits and family situations - gather everything that can be collected as soon as possible!”

Shelly didn't ask any questions and quickly went off to prepare.

After about half an hour passed by, Shelly returned holding a stack of freshly printed A4 papers back into the CEO's office

However, upon entering, she was stunned for a moment. Lachlan was sitting in Miranda's office chair, while Miranda herself was resting on the nearby sofa with her eyes closed.

"Ms. Lowe, what is going on?" Shelly asked confusedly.

"Just give the documents to Lachlan,” Miranda said calmly.

Shelly let out a surprised "Oh," but didn't ask any further questions. "Alright honey, leave it to me. You all can go out first and let Macy Ware come in," Lachlan said as he looked through the documents for a moment before waving his hand at Miranda.

Lachlan had some tactics up his sleeve that he didn't want to reveal to Miranda just yet.

Miranda gave him an annoyed look and felt like she had become his subordinate instead of the other way around. However, she knew better than to doubt her team members" abilities without reason. So she nodded in agreement before giving Shelly a nod and leaving the room while telling Macy outside, "Ms. Ware, you can go in now."

"What does this mean?" Macy asked with confusion written all over her face.

Miranda emerged from the room, and Macy asked, "What do I go in there for?"

"Aren't you quitting? Someone inside can help you with that," Miranda said.

She remained expressionless as she sat down on a chair in the hallway. She seemed to have given up.

Although she believed in Lachlan, her hope was dwindling. It was like trying to revive a dead horse.

"I want to see what game you're playing,"Macy said as she walked into the office.

Meanwhile, Shelly sat next to Miranda and whispered, "You're letting Mr. Willis handle this?"

Miranda laughed at herself and replied, "Yeah! He says he can handle it so let him try. I'm out of options.”

Shelly's face flickered for a moment before saying confidently, "If Mr. Willis says he can do it then he probably can.”

"Oh?" Miranda looked surprised at Shelly's confidence in Lachlan.

"It's just my intuition,” Shelly said nervously.

Miranda looked at her secretary, a hint of suspicion flashing in the depths of her eyes. It was the kind of suspicion that belonged to women.

Inside the office.

"What's the meaning of Ms. Lowe? Is she really planning to let her man intervene?" Macy came in and stared at Lachlan sitting there, sneering. "Yes! Today I came to talk with you!" Lachlan’s eyes flashed with silver light and an evil smile appeared on his face.

Macy raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Willis, don't think that just because you got rid of Rex everyone will be afraid of you! I'm just resigning from my job; whether or not I do so is up to me. I don't believe you would dare do anything to me!"

"Ms. Ware, right? I did come here to intimidate you but not through violence; that would be too low-class.”

"Oh? You really want to intimidate me? How scary!” Macy said mockingly but her face changed when Lachlan spoke again. "Twenty-three hours ago, yesterday morning at nine o'clock, you had an abortion in the hospital!" Lachlan looked at the middle-aged beauty in front of him and said with a smile.

"You... how did you know?" Macy widened her eyes, looking shocked and incredulous. She had gone to a private hospital for the procedure, even her little lover didn't know! She was confident that she had kept it hidden from everyone!

But how could this man in front of her know so clearly, even down to the exact time? A sense of panic rose from Macy's heart.

And what Lachlan said next made that panic reach its peak. "Actually, abortion is not a big deal. But most importantly, your husband had a vasectomy ten years ago. How did you get pregnant? You're really careless!" Lachlan stopped there without continuing his words and just grinned at Macy.

"I... I won't resign! Is that okay?"
