Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 280

Pfft!

Humpty snickered. “Fire me? Do you think you're the director of the hospital?”

“I'm not, but the director of the hospital, Anderson, is my apprentice.”

After TCM Association director, Shawn Thompson, gave Heartland Hospital to Zeke, Zeke fired the former hospital director and appointed the assistant director, Anderson, to be the director.

As for Daniel, he was now on the hospital's board of directors.

Haha!

Humpty laughed even harder.

The director, Anderson, was now in his seventies, whereas Zeke was in his early twenties at most.

No one would believe that an old man was apprenticed to a younger man!

Ruby rolled her eyes at Zeke. “Still the same liar as you were in school.”

Having no choice, Zeke took out his phone and dialed Anderson's number.

“Anderson, where are you now?” Zeke asked.

Anderson replied, “I'm at the hospital, Master.”

Zeke felt a little helpless as he didn't actually want to acknowledge Anderson as his apprentice, but Anderson was too enthusiastic and kept addressing him as 'Master'.

“A quick question, is the hospital cafeteria contracted to a Humpty?” Zeke asked.

“Yes, his full name is Charlie Hump.”

Zeke proceeded to ask, “Do I have the rights to fire him? He publicly sells buttery hatches, which affects the normal competitive order of the cafeteria. He even wants to allow people without health certificates to work inside. His behavior is quite deplorable.”

“This hospital belongs to you, so of course, you have the rights to fire him,” Anderson replied. “I'll call him right away.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Zeke realized that everyone was giving him a strange look.

Then, a fit of laughter broke out.

“Haha. Am I hearing things? This young man is the master of an old man? Seriously?”

“The entire hospital even belongs to him?”

“This young man is so impetuous. Instead of working hard, he has to brag for vanity.”

“The old man on the phone just now must have been paid by him to pose as the hospital director as the voice of the actual director isn't like that.”

With a fake smile on his face, Humpty looked at Zeke and said, “If you were really talking to the hospital director on the phone, shouldn't the director call to inform me of my dismissal now?”

“Give him two minutes,” Zeke replied.

“I'll give you 30 minutes instead,” Humpty said indifferently. “You will leave Summer if he doesn't call.”

Zeke nodded his head. “No problem.”

After five minutes, Humpty still didn't receive any call.

The onlookers began to whisper to each other and mocked Zeke.

Getting a little impatient, Ruby said, “Well, I advise you to leave as soon as possible and not to make a fool of yourself, Zeke. Stop seeing my daughter from now on.”

Zeke frowned.

What's Anderson doing? Five minutes have passed, but why has he not made the call?

Just as he was about to call Anderson, he received a call from him.

Zeke asked in a reproachful tone, “Why haven't you called him, Anderson?”

“Calm down, Mr. Williams.” Anderson explained, “Humpty's phone has been suspended due to unpaid bills. So, I can't reach him, but I've sent someone to get in touch with him.”

Zeke replied, “Alright, I'll ask him to add credit to his phone. You can continue calling his number.”

“Okay,” Anderson said.

Putting away the phone, Zeke said to Humpty, “Your phone has been suspended due to unpaid bills, so the director can't reach you. You should reload your phone credit.”

“Suspended?” Humpty sneered. “What a lame excuse you've come up with. I've just reloaded 100 bucks to my phone, how can it be suspended?”

Summer then said, “Let me try calling your phone now.”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

She took out her phone and dialed Humpty's number.
