“Okay, I shall accept it. What can I say? I have a wealthy best friend.” After Madilyn regained her senses, she did not hesitate to accept the offer.
Roxanne was satisfied with the outcome. This was what best friends should be like; they understood each other’s thoughts. Being coy and hesitant only made both parties feel distant. Of course, Roxanne had another plan.
She smirked and teased, “Hold on, you need to fulfill my condition to earn the mansion!” Madilyn rolled her eyes. “I knew it! There must be conditions tied to the gift. What do you want me to do?” Both men were curious about the terms that might be offered in return for a villa.
“It’s not that difficult. You shall be the next hospital director. How about that? You can handle the position, right?” Roxanne looked at her best friend and asked with a grin. Once again, Madilyn was left speechless. Is this a promotion? An escalated promotion?
The woman had been working in the hospital under Roxanne’s research institute, with a high, salary and good benefits. Although the workload wasn’t light, she had always been happy with her job.
But she never thought that one day Roxanne would entrust her with such an important responsibility. The director position had been vacant for a long time. At this moment, she felt a little overwhelmed. This meant not only a promotion but also an increase in responsibilities.
“Are you afraid to take on the role?” Seeing her hesitation, Roxanne deliberately provoked Madilyn. When the three children heard that Madilyn was offered the role, they immediately encouraged her to accept it. “Aunt Madilyn, please agree!”
Estella asked innocently, “Is a director more powerful than the head of a kindergarten?” Lucian and Jonathan exchanged glances. They never thought that Roxanne would entrust such an important position to Madilyn.
After all, this hospital was the flagship hospital of the research institute and had many social responsibilities. Madilyn considered the offer for a long time. When she looked up and saw Roxanne’s expectant eyes, she gritted her teeth and showed fierce determination.
“Okay, I’ll do it! I won’t say anything irresponsible. Since I have agreed, I will manage the hospital to the best of my ability and not let you down!” Madilyn said resolutely.
“Okay, then it’s settled. I also plan to get you a car. As for what kind of assistant you want, you can choose for yourself.” Roxanne would not be stingy and gave her friend the treatment she deserved.
This meal, which was supposed to be a celebration banquet, turned into a recognition ceremony for Madilyn. Of course, she ultimately elevated this hospital to the pinnacle of the region’s private hospitals. After a while, the children started to feel tired, and the celebration banquet ended.
Madilyn was exhilarated and downed herself in alcohol. Her face was flushed, and she walked unsteadily with Roxanne supporting her. Lucian immediately looked at Jonathan and instructed, “Escort Ms. Xander home. You shouldn’t drive, though. Let the driver send you guys back!”
Roxanne brought Madilyn to Jonathan once he acknowledged the request. “Hold on to her. I still have to carry Essie. Look at her, she’s fighting to keep her eyes open!”
After passing Madilyn over to Jonathan, Roxanne immediately picked up Estella. When the little girl smelled her mom’s scent, she put her head on her shoulder and fell asleep within a few seconds.
Jonathan supported Madilyn carefully, holding her arms with both hands. “Ms. Xander, are you okay? I’ll take you home!”
The woman still retained some level of consciousness. When she looked at Roxanne and noticed her winking, she knew something was up. Madilyn seemed to understand her friend’s intention; her heart began to pound wildly.
Lucian held Archie and Benny with both hands. and quickly retreated after giving Roxanne a signal. Their transport had already arrived, so they quickly loaded the kids into the car and drove away.
By the time Jonathan supported Madilyn to the front door, their friends were nowhere to be seen.
