But Theresa avoided it and said softly, “Thank you for taking care ofduring the filming.” 1/7 Emergency calls only Chapter 311 Theresa's tone was pleasant, but her words confined everything to “during the filming.” They were a couple, but only within the movie.

The movie was over at that moment.

But his pursuit was just beginning.

The two girls hugged, laughing and bouncing around in excitement.

Thomas couldn't help but look at Susan with a bit of melancholy.

However, Susan definitely wouldn't pay attention to him.

So, he looked mournfully at Ben, who cwith Susan.

Ben raised an eyebrow, “What are you looking atfor?” Thomas exhaled deeply, “Can't you keep your wife in check? She’s married now, she ought to act with a bit more decorum.” Ben glanced at him and said calmly, “She makes her own choices. | don’t tell her what to do.” Thomas looked visibly frustrated, “You can’t even handle this, Ben? You used to be so assertive and sol in charge. And now you can’t even take charge of your own household? What happened to the decisivel CEO you were known as?” Ben calmly replied, “Well, well. It seems like when you get married, you'll definitely be able to control your wife well.” Thomas replied confidently, “Of course. When | get married, I'll be the one calling the shots. If | make a decision, there won't be any room for argument. I'll ensure that...” Thomas was boasting enthusiastically.

Suddenly, he saw a smile creep onto Ben's face.

After saying that, Theresa ignored him.

She took Susan’s hand, “Susan, you've got to catchup on everything from the past few months. Your stories are just incredible. | could only call you during shoots, and it always felt so rushed. This time, you have to spill all the details...” The two girls walked away, chatting intimately.

Thomas and Ben stood in silence.

09:48 After a while, Thomas looked at Ben in despair, “Did you do this on purpose?” Ben, with a poker face, replied, “I have no idea what you're talking about.” Originally, Ben was a bit down about Susan being taken away.

At the café, Susan and Theresa were savoring their desserts and sipping coffee, lost in cheerful conversation.

The two men were completely ignored.

They stared at each other for a while.

Ben calmly sipped his coffee, breaking the silence, “Planning to be a full-tactor?” Thomas shook his head in horror, “Better not, I'm not cut out for it.” Ben replied coolly, “You know, | was just thinking, if word got out that ‘the Medical Mystic’ ditched the scalpel for the spotlight, you might just hit the big time.” “Quit joking,” Thomas said, glancing around nervously and quickly shushing Ben.

Glancing around to make sure they weren't being overheard, he said anxiously, “Hey, drop that title, will you? | don’t want to blow my cover!” “Why go through all that?” Ben raised an eyebrow, “If you set up a clinic and put ‘the Medical Mystic’ on the door, you'd have the global elite lining up for an appointment.” Thomas, feeling a bit defeated, said, “I'm just not up for mingling with the high society. The hospital is my Mom's passion project. I'm just trying to keep it afloat.” Ben laughed, “Saying something like that to your investor isn’t exactly a wise move.” “Just turn a blind eye to that as an investor. Relax. I'll ensure this hospital flourishes and rakes in profits daily,” Thomas assured.

Ben and Thomas were just casually chatting, neither of them seriously fixated on the investment matter.

“These past few months, I've sorted out the hospital's location and staff for you,” Ben said. “Check it out when you have the time.” “Thanks,” Thomas replied with a cheeky grin. “You're so good to me, | feel like | owe you big time.” Ben just silently added a bunch of ice cubes to Thomas's coffee.

Even though it’s said that you can’t beat someone with no shame, Thomas felt like he needed to chill out, maybe with an ice pack.

Unfazed, Thomas just chewed on the ice cubes thick-skinned.

All Ben could do was sigh.

He couldn’t understand how he ended up being such close friends with someone like this.

It even made him doubt his own judgment.
