The moment he heard that, Brucille thought that Monique was really good at searching for the right people.
“You should know my ability by now, Miss Ching. Apart from an uncanny ability to sleep for long hours, I don’t have any other strengths. You’re the one who said that.”
Monique wiped away her tears and stared at Brucille, asking, “You know many directors, don’t you? Aren’t you acquainted with the director of the Health Bureau?”
“I’m not a professional member of the director’s office. Why would I know that many directors?” he replied dismissively.
“Then have you ever thought about your father-in-law? Do you think it’s fine for him to sit around in the house all day even though he is still young? He used to be a military doctor, and the hospital is like a battlefield to him. Have you ever wondered that he might actually be bored at home?” Monique countered.
She could not contain her anger, so naturally her tone was rather serious.
Brucille felt his face burning. If a man in his 50s was bored at home, then what about him, a man who wasn’t even 30 yet? Didn’t it make him a useless person?
Looking at Monique, she didn’t seem to be joking. Therefore, he answered, “I am not acquainted with the director of the Health Bureau, but I can talk to Donald. I think he will consider the problem from the patient’s perspective.”
Monique looked at Brucille incredulously. “You are really ignorant. Donald competed with my father for the position of director. Don’t you understand? There’s no way he will let my father return. Henric went to see him in the morning, and he didn’t agree. Don’t embarrass yourself, okay?”
After hearing Henric’s name, Brucille’s fragile heart was crushed again. Although he didn’t have much feelings for her, she was still technically his wife.
He had tried so hard to forget the night she called another man’s name in her drunken stupor. Yet, there she was, calling another man’s name in broad daylight.
His expression changed. “Leave it to me. With my eloquent speech, he will definitely be moved.”
He did not bother with what Monique might have thought of his plan. Immediately, he carried the lunchbox and walked toward the director’s office.
Monique was infuriated. However, when she recalled Donald’s attitude toward Brucille in previous days, she was suddenly delighted. Brucille had offended Donald before, so Donald would not be nice to him that day.
After inquiring a few times, Brucille finally found the director’s office. He knocked on the door, which was a standard etiquette.
“Excuse me, is Mr. Chao here?”
“Come in!”
Hearing his voice, Brucille detected that Donald was a little short of breath. Maybe it was because he had used too much strength a while ago. Nevertheless, it was expected that he would be lacking in some aspects due to his age.
He had just analyzed the 3-minute video recorded on his phone. It was certainly very erotic. The only flaw was that the director only lasted for a short time.
Collecting himself, Brucille gently pushed the door open. When Donald looked up and saw that it was Brucille, he was rather surprised.
His eyebrows twisted into a frown. “Brucille, why are you here?”
“Hello, Mr. Chao. I just came to see how Monique is doing. I’m here to express my gratitude to you.”
However, the expression on Brucille’s face indicated otherwise.
Despite that, Donald still replied politely as he was quite experienced in dealing with people. “Monique has just started working here. Therefore, it will take some time for her to get used to some of the work, but I believe she will soon get used to it. If there is nothing else, I’ll have a meeting soon.”
It was obvious that Donald was trying to chase him away!
Hence, Brucille raised his voice to respond, “Oh, it’s nothing much. It’s just that I found something inappropriate, so I came to you to report it. I think the reputation of this hospital is very important. Don’t you agree, director?”
Donald suppressed the fury churning within him. Brucille seemed to be making fun of him.
Lowering his voice, he spat, “If you have something to say, just say it. All the doctors in our hospital have always been disciplined. If something dishonourable happens, we will investigate it thoroughly.”
“Alright, then listen to this, Mr. Chao. I am aware that you are a fair and impartial person. So, let me ask you, if you found out that someone has been engaging in sexual acts during work hours, do you think it’s worth investigation?”
Donald’s pupils contracted. He gaped at Brucille as if he were an ape, asking quietly, “Our hospital has always been strict in this regard. Tell me who is the person and I will investigate it.”
Brucille put the lunchbox on Mr. Chao’s desk. Then, he took out his phone and told him excitedly, “Director, I’m a very meticulous person. I even recorded the evidence! I am afraid that the party involved would deny it. Here you go…”
About 30 seconds into the video, Mr. Chao’s face immediately froze. He reached out to grab Brucille’s cell phone, but Brucille snatched it back.
“Where did you get this?”
His whisper was so soft that only he and Brucille could hear it, and his face was awfully pale.
Brucille questioned, “Director, didn’t you say that your hospital has always been strict in this matter? Do you want me to get a big screen and show it to the entire hospital? It will serve as a warning to the hospital’s employees.”
Donald was very confused at that time. He didn’t know why Brucille recorded everything that had happened in the morning.
Relaxed, Brucille retreated comfortably and sat on the couch. Then he put his phone into his pocket and nonchalantly spoke to Donald, “Mr. Chao, you have seen this. You should know that if I sell it to the news agency, it will make headlines.”
Donald slumped down in the chair, his pale face ghastly. “Brucille, Monique is already working in this hospital. What else do you want?”
“When I brought Monique her meal, she told me that there is a surgery going on. My father-in-law seems to be very qualified in that aspect. You know what I’m talking about.”
Donald knew from the moment Brucille entered his office to spout a load of nonsense, there was no way it would end up well. He was just setting a trap for him to fall into it.
But the trap was so huge; there was no way he could avoid it.
“Brucille, your father-in-law resigned because of a medical accident. Besides, I don’t have the final say on the matter. To bring him back, it requires a lot of formalities and it’s not as simple as you think.”
Dusting off his pants, Brucille stood up. He picked up the lunch box and was ready to leave. “Well, since you think it’s so troublesome, I won’t force you to do it. After all, I am a reasonable person.”
“Instead, I’ll play this video in the hospital. I mean, it counts as a personal lesson by the director himself. This matter is much simpler since it can be solved with a computer and a projector. It’s not as complicated as you say.”
