The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 146

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 146

“You’ve all been working so hard lately. How about we all get 

together for dinner tonight? 

My treat!” 

The four secretaries looked at each other. 

Get together? 

It’s over. This can’t be a farewell dinner, can it? 

“Since you’re not saying no, I’ll take that as a yes. I’ll go look for 

a place. Hey, if you have any restaurants you want to try, you 

can send them to me.” 

Madeleine gave a little chuckle, went back to her desk, and 

started looking up restaurants, not forgetting to tell Roderick 

about it. 

Of course, her offer to treat the secretaries to dinner tonight 

wasn’t a spur–of–the–moment decision, but a part of the plan 

she had already discussed with Roderick. 

As Roderick’s trusted aides, they were the ones the mole was

watching most closely. 

Only by letting Edward’s side know that what Roderick put out 

was a smokescreen, making him think he had seen through 

Roderick’s plan, would he raise his stakes in the bid. 

Her slender fingers swiped quickly across her phone, finally 

stopping on an expensive French restaurant near the company. 

At a critical moment when the Livingston Group was 

supposedly “in crisis,” Daquan could still casually take a few of 

her key secretaries out for dinner. 

A move like that was enough to make certain people suspect 

that the Livingston Group’s financial situation wasn’t nearly as 

bad as the rumors claimed. 

Madeleine sighed and leaned back in her chair. 

Oh, Edward, Edward, don’t let my plan fail. You just have to be 

the smart one, don’t you. 

Madeleine chose a high–end French restaurant. After the four 

secretaries found out, they couldn’t focus on their work for the 

last few hours of the day. 

They looked like they were working hard, but they were actually

typing furiously in their group chat. 

Teresa: Alright, ladies, first time having such a fancy farewell 

dinner. How’s everyone feeling? 

Yvonne Osborn: I’m so touched… The company is about to go 

under, and Chase is still treating us to such an expensive 

restaurant. 

Sophia: I apologize to Chase. I used to ship Ms. Whitman and 

the president, but Chase is the best, boo hoo hoo. 

Olivia Kinney: Are we going to be the first ones to get laid off…? 

Teresa: Even if I am, I’ve accepted it. I’ll fight with the company 

until the very last second. 

Madeleine didn’t know what they were thinking, so after work, 

she went to Roderick’s office to change into a pretty dress. 

When she came out and saw the four secretaries still in their 

casual clothes with solemn expressions, she couldn’t help but 

frown. 

“I’m taking you to a restaurant that costs five figures a person, 

and you’re wearing… this?” 

Madeleine said with a serious expression.

“If you take a group photo with me like this and post it on 

moments, I’ll get flamed.” 

The four of them looked at each other. 

“Flamed for what?” 

“For being a fake bitch!” 

She glanced at the time. “Don’t you guys have spare clothes in 

the office? Quick, I’ll give you ten minutes to change and touch 

up your makeup or whatever.” 

The four of them took her words as a military order, running 

back and starting the clock as they got ready. 

Ten minutes later, the five of them, a stunning sight, headed 

out together. 

As dusk settled, the evening breeze carried a faint scent of 

flowers. 

The car drove past the bustling commercial district and turned 

onto a quiet, plane tree–lined lane. At the end of the road stood 

a classic French building.

Warm yellow light shone through the ornate wrought–iron 

window grilles, outlining an elegant silhouette on the wooden 

shutters. 

Above the main entrance, a sign with French lettering was 

understated yet luxurious. 

Outside the French garden, a waiter in a black tailcoat with an 

exquisite silver pin on his collar came forward and led the five 

of them inside. 

The table Madeleine had booked was by the window, with a 

perfect view of the sea of flowers behind the restaurant. 

Listening to the soothing piano music, she noticed that the four 

of them looked a bit off. 

“What’s wrong?” 

Madeleine chuckled softly, placing the napkin on her lap. 

The four of them looked at each other, and finally, Teresa 

worked up the courage to speak: “Chase, is this… a farewell 

dinner?” 

“A farewell dinner?” 

Madeleine gave them a surprised look.

Then she immediately realized what was going on. 

Everyone at the company had indeed been on edge lately. Plus, 

the incident with Nanette some time ago had caused the 

company’s stock price to drop quite a bit, so everyone was guessing if the company was about to have layoffs. 

“You don’t actually think the company is going out of business, 

do you?”
