CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

As Karina was about to leave, the door suddenly chimed and opened.

She looked up to see who had entered, her eyes widening in surprise. "How could it be him?!" she thought to herself.

Harley Carter's gaze flickered over her, his eyebrows slightly raised, as if he too was a little surprised.

"Excuse me," Karina said, trying to avoid engaging with him, but he was blocking the way. She had no choice but to speak.

Fortunately, Harley didn't try to stop her. He stepped aside, making way for her.

Karina let out a quiet breath of relief, but just as she was about to pass him, she suddenly heard his low voice.

"Small world, Wilfred's little assistant."

Karina lifted her gaze, but said nothing as she walked out.

Harley stood there for a moment, then, after a brief pause, he smiled with an almost amused expression before entering the flower shop. A few moments later, he came out holding a bouquet of carnations. Back at her apartment, Karina couldn't stop thinking about the encounter. After hesitating for a while, she decided to call Wilfred. But whether it was because of her own curiosity about Harley, she wasn't sure. "Dr. Wilfred, I ran into that person you had a conflict with earlier."

"Who?" Wilfred's voice was raspy.

Karina, momentarily distracted by the sound of his voice, shifted her focus. "Dr. Wilfred, are you feeling okay?"

Wilfred responded casually, "It's just the change in seasons, nothing to worry about. Continue."

Karina tried to push her worry aside, expressing concern for a moment before returning to the topic. "It's Dr. Carter, Harley. I ran into him."

Wilfred sat up straighter in his chair. "Where did you run into him?"

Karina was about to mention the flower shop, but then realized she didn't want to spoil the surprise for him tomorrow. So, she lied. "I bumped into him on my way home from work." Wilfred didn't press further, probably believing her. "Just be careful around him."noveldrama

Then, after a brief pause, he added, "Actually, I'll come by tomorrow to check on things myself."

"Don't! No, tomorrow... I have something to do. How about the day after?" Karina quickly said.

The flowers were supposed to arrive tomorrow, and if Wilfred wasn't around, how would they be received?

Wilfred raised an eyebrow, sensing something was off, but even through the phone, he could tell Karina was firmly against his coming tomorrow. He decided not to press further.

Karina quickly put the matter out of her mind, assuming there was nothing to worry about.

Harley was a doctor. He wouldn't come looking for trouble with someone like her, right?

But Karina had underestimated the situation.

The next day, she was urgently called to the director's office. According to the nurse, there was a major surgery that they wanted her to perform.

Karina's heart raced as she walked to the office, her mind full of anticipation about what kind of big surgery it might be.

But when she opened the door, she froze.

"Ah, Karina, you're here! Come,

come, sit down. Wow, I didn't expect

this! You've actually worked on a project like this before? If Dr. Carter hadn't told me himself, I wouldn't have believed it!"

Karina stared in shock at Harley, who shouldn't have been there.

He looked at her with an almost mocking smile, clearly enjoying her confusion.

The director, oblivious to the tension between them, noticed Karina's hesitation. "What are you standing there for? Come on, this is the biggest surgery you've had here so fart

Karina felt her excitement vanish in an instant. The moment she saw Harley, all her enthusiasm had drained away.

She didn't believe for a second that Harley had come all the way here for anything good.

And it wasn't just a coincidence.

Both Harley and Wilfred were based in Birkham-so why would he make a trip to Atlantis just to offer a project?

The whole situation felt suspicious, like there was something more to it.
