Chased By My Demon CEO

Fernando could only surrender when Viona dragged him to go back down to the living room where William was still waiting. Because he didn't want to make his wife angry, Fernando could only follow when Viona forced him to go down to the first floor.

When they went down the steps, Fernando led Viona carefully, because he knew that his wife was angry with him and Fernando did not want to see what had happened this morning, where Viona almost fell on the stairs, to happen again. 

"Have you finished the family meeting?" William asked, teasing Fernando, who had just come into the living room. 

"Shut up, you bastard," Fernando replied softly with a sharp glint at William, who was laughing broadly. 

Instead of following Fernando's words, William was laughing out loud. He was very happy to see his friend submitting to Viona. Meanwhile, Viona could only smile thinly when she saw William tease her husband, Fernando.

"May I start talking, Will?" Viona asked William's permission when William had stopped laughing. 

"Of course, Viona. This is your house, so you don't need to ask permission from me to start talking." William replied with a smile. 

"First of all, I want to thank you because you have taken your time to manage Fernando, I do not know, and I cannot imagine if you weren't there. Maybe Fernando was wilder than he is now. Secondly, I want to apologize for making your life uncomfortable because of my husband's extraordinary behavior," Viona said with a guilty look. 

Hearing Viona's words made William speechless. He didn't believe that Viona would say that to him, even though all this time what he had done to help Fernando was a sincere, selfless act that he could give as a friend.

Because he knows that in fact Fernando was a good person, it was just that sometimes his emotions would explode when he was angry. That's why he had stayed by Fernando's side all this time. 

"You don't have to say that, Viona. What I do to Fernando is purely on the basis of friendship. Besides, I have never felt bothered by this rancid bastard, even though sometimes his behavior is beyond belief," said William, smiling.

"How patient are you with him? I can't imagine how messy your life has been for taking care of Fernando all these years." Viona replied, holding back a laugh. 

"Don't you feel it too, Viona? So don't be surprised if you suddenly see him change in a second," William chirped, while glancing at Fernando, who could only stay silent next to Viona.

"Yes, Will, I understand that. Thanks again for all your kindness for taking care of him during my trip several years ago to England. I did not realize that at that time I've hurt him deep enough," Viona said, smiling at Fernando.

"Forgive my selfishness back then, Babe," Viona added softly, apologizing to Fernando. 

"I don't blame you. Don't mind it, it has been a long time, so don't remember it again. For now, promise me that you will never leave me again at any time," Fernando replied while touching her face. 

She nodded slowly in response to Fernando's words with a smile, meanwhile, William could only remain silent when he saw the husband and wife making out in front of him.

Fernando then hugged Viona tightly and smiled faintly at William. He also gave William a thumbs up code, which was greeted by his friend's nod.

Not long after that, Fernando released his hug from Viona, who complained of shortness of breath when she was hugged that tightly by Fernando. Some of Fernando's servants then arrived bringing Viona some slices of lemon and orange juice as well as some snacks for Fernando and William.

William and Fernando could only swallow their saliva when they saw Viona voraciously eating the lemon that had been cut into small pieces. 

"I'm the one who eats here, why are you guys salivating like that?" Viona asked while chewing another lemon slice. 

"Do you want some?" Viona asked as she handed a plate filled with lemon to Fernando and William. 

"No, no, no, no, no, no, we don't want it. You eat them, Babe," Fernando replied quickly. 

"Yes, Viona, you better enjoy it yourself," William added Fernando's words with a face that paled slightly with fear if Viona forced him to eat the lemon slices. 

"Are you guys sure? Okay, then I'll finish them myself," Viona replied as she stuck her fork into the lemon slice in her plate. 

Fernando and William immediately sighed when Viona ate her lemon again by herself.

"No wonder you submit to him, it turns out that your wife is really terrible," William whispered softly into Fernando's ear. 

"I agree with you," Fernando replied quickly. 

"What are you talking about?" Viona asked suddenly. 

"Oh, William wants to talk to you, Babe." Fernando answered carelessly. 

"Hmmm .... talk to me? What's wrong, Will?" Viona asked William who looked panicked. 

"Hmmm, it's like this, Viona. Fernando and I are talking about your practice schedule at Global Bros Hospital for only twice a week," William replied with a sharp glance at Fernando who was trapping him. 

Clank! 

Viona dropped her fork on the plate after hearing William's words. 

"What do you mean, Will?" Viona asked with an increasing tone. 

"I was asked by Fernando to lead the surgery division at Global Bross Hospital as Frank's new boss, therefore I decided to limit your practice schedule, considering you are currently pregnant and this is not just my unilateral decision as your boss at the hospital, but for our discussion," William answered with a smile. 

"Our? Who do you mean by 'our'?" Viona asked haltingly. 

"I mean between me and Fernando as the highest shareholder in Global Bros Hospital and the managing director of Global Bross Hospital, Professor Dexter and several other shareholders plus the team of senior doctors," William replied while showing his cell phone containing an email from Professor Dexter, who had announced the latest practice schedule for doctors in the surgical division led by William. 

"Why ... why don't you ask me first, whether I agree or not with that decision, and didn't you promise me, Fernando, that you will never interfere with my career?" Viona said with teary eyes.

"It's not just my decision and William's decision alone, but this is the decision of the management, who is responsible for the safety of the doctors and patients, especially pregnant female doctors like you. Because if an emergency occurs and requires a female doctor who is pregnant to handle it, it is feared that it will be dangerous for the doctor, too," Fernando replied, looking for the most plausible reason to try to calm Viona. 

"What you say makes no sense. After all, we as doctors know our own capacity and ability, Fernando," said Viona emotionally. 

She felt that her ability was being doubted by Fernando. 

"That is one of the reasons too, Viona. There is another reason for sure that Global Bross Hospital management wants to provide comfort for female doctors, especially female doctors who are pregnant like you," William replied, adding to Fernando's words. 

Viona was silent and lowered her head. She felt sad that her work was limited by Fernando. For her, being a doctor was a dedication and a calling. She didn't feel that her pregnancy was interfering with her activities. 

Therefore, when she heard that her practice schedule was limited to twice a week, it really made her feel sad. William stepped on Fernando's feet lightly when he saw Viona was looking down and didn't say anything.

Actually, the reason he had told her was not completely true. However, because Fernando had asked him to keep Viona as far away from Frank as possible, William finally asked Professor Dexter to make the announcement for all doctors in the surgical division of Global Bross Hospital.

"So you will move to Global Bross Hospital, Will?" Viona asked with a sob to William.

"Yes, starting tomorrow morning I will go to Global Bross Hospital," William replied briefly.

"Then who will replace my practice schedule?" Viona asked again.

"A beautiful doctor named Cecilia Smith, who was close to a young policeman named Andrew Steven Joy." Fernando replied quickly with a smile at Viona.

"A – Andrew …?
