Chapter 189
"Well, that is exactly what I struggle with. Everyone wants you to leave Confidential Medical Institute, but we both know clearly that it is not that simple. You had nothing to do with Mr. Lucero when you came here, as you were named by Mr. Gilbert himself and worked here directly... So Arabella, what is your relationship with Mr. Gilbert exactly?"
Arabella raised her arched eyebrows, "Well, Ms. Roth, I have nothing to do with Mr. Gilbert. It is just that I have met him a few times before. He once gave me a phone number and told me that I could call him at any time if I had interest in working in the institute. He said that I was always welcome here."
Elise's face collapsed as she heard that. Dario Gilbert, the leader of the Institute, was a famous national scholar of today, playing a very important role in genetic epidemiology. How could he give the phone number to a girl from the countryside and say something like "the portals of the Institute were always opening to her"...
"Well, Arabella, you are so young, but how can you feed us a line? Who do you think you are? How can Mr. Gilbert say something like that to you?" Elise didn't believe it at all.
Arabella shrugged. She could do nothing if Ms. Roth didn't believe what she had said.
Elise just felt that Arabella had no fear or worry at all with her attitude. Elise was wondering who Arabella's backing was since she was so confident, "Look, Arabella, I will call Mr. Gilbert now to expose your lie!" "Ms. Roth, please go ahead."
Quickly Elise dialed Mr. Gilbert. She didn't think that Arabella would be as calm as now when the lie was exposed.
Soon the phone was connected, where the solemn voice from Mr. Gilbert came, "Hello, Ms. Roth."
"Hello, Mr. Gilbert. I'm sorry to disturb you, but there is something wrong with Arabella..."
"Arabella?" He quickly interrupted Elise, "Is Bella here now? Let me have a word with her."
Finding that Mr. Gilbert was rather anxious, Elise was surprised. She would think that Arabella was his granddaughter if she knew nothing about the truth. Arabella just said that she didn't know Mr. Gilbert well, didn't she?
Elise gave the phone to Arabella, and the latter spoke to him, "Hello, Mr. Gilbert."
At that moment, Elise heard the most gentle and kind greeting from Mr. Gilbert in his life. She found that he was somewhat like... a henchman of Arabella, "Hello, Bella, how's it going? Is the Institute nice?" Arabella nodded, "Well yes, it's good."
"I've said so before that the Institute is definitely worthy of you. Well, Bella, although I've talked about this many times and it makes me a little embarrassed, I still want to say, how about being my disciple?" Elise on one side was speechless, "..."
She couldn't understand what they were talking, really!
Was Dario Gilbert short of disciple? Not at all. Even those excellent medical students in Faykarta who wanted to take Mr. Gilbert as their teacher had worn out his doorstep, let alone others in Hardgrad. However, he just had no formal disciple at all!
Surprisingly, Mr. Gilbert just asked Arabella to be his student in such a humble way, didn't he?
"Mr. Gilbert, I need to think about it."
"Well, I will wait for your answer, Bella. You must consider it carefully. I have a rather great background!"
Elise, "..."
Was... this the same Mr. Gilbert she knew?
"Oh right, did Ms. Roth want to tell me about you and Mr. Lucero?"
Elise wanted to reply, but she only heard Arabella who said rather calmly, "Don't worry about it, Mr. Gilbert. Kenneth is my lawful husband."
