Unexpected Encounter

Chapter 5

"It's not him."

Shawn frowned in confusion, but he also couldn't figure out the situation.

Zeus had already broken up with him so there's no way he would help them now. And it couldn't possibly be their father either.

This VIP ward looked very expensive. Staying here even though they still didn't do anything it will still cost a lot of money.

No one from the Thompson's family could afford it.

Who was it then?

Who was so kind to help them out for no reason?

Shawn was puzzled.

A sudden knock on the door, wake him from his deep musing. Shawn walked over, then opened the door.

A nurse was standing outside, when she saw him, she smiled. "Mr. Thompson, our President wants to talk to you about your brother's condition. Please come with me."

Shawn's eyes widened with surprise. "The President was looking for me?"

"Yes."

****

In the President's office.

The nurse lead her, then they stopped in front of a massive white door. She reached out, then knocked gently.

Then a nice and gentle voice called out, "Come in."

Hearing a young voice, Shawn was a little stunned. He reached out, then he opened the door.

When he walked in, he saw a pretty young man sitting in the desk. He looks like he's about 25 or 26 years old. He had a gentle and handsome appearance, he's also wearing gold eyeglasses that makes him look like a gentleman.

This was the...President??! Huh?

Shawn's eyes showed undisguised surprise and hesitation.

The president was so young.

He thought he would be around 50 or 60 years old.

"It's nice to finally meet you Mr. Thompson, please, take a seat."

When Shawn was looking at Roan with surprise, Roan was also looking at him with interest.

This was the boy, Leander had mentioned before that he slept with.

He looked young.

Regardless, he was indeed beautiful. And if Roan didn't knew he's a boy he would have mistaken him as a very beautiful girl.

Even with simple outfit, it couldn't diminish his beautiful appearance.

He looked to be in his late teens or early 20's, had an exquisite facial features and glowing fair skin.

Even after meeting a lot of beautiful people before he's still in awe with his beauty.

After looking at him for a while, Roan smiled and said. "Mr. Thompson, no need to feel nervous. We're all young people here, you can treat me as a friend..."

After hearing him, Shawn slowly relax his body. He nod his head, smiled and took a seat.

"President, I heard you wanted to tell me something about my brother's condition." Shawn asked without hesitation. "Is there any change...to his condition.."

Roan picked up the cup on the table and took a sip from his tea. "It has changed a little."

Shawn immediately became nervous.. "Wha—"

"It's better for your brother to get the surgery as early as possible. Actually he already missed the best period for him to be operated."

Shawn's face suddenly turn pale, and his voice started trembling. "What do you mean, he missed the best period for his surgery? Is it impossible to have surgery in the future?"

"It's not impossible, but the risk would be too high. That's why Mr. Thompson, your brother's operation couldn't delay any longer."

"I known..." Shawn clenched his fist, suddenly determined. "Don't worry I will persuade my brother to have that operation. But, you said that if he were to undergo the operation now, the result won't be too good..."

"It depends on who's operating on him." Roan inadvertently said. "I know a person who is very good at performing this operation. If he comes forward, your brother's rate of recovery can be as high as 90%. However..."

The rate of recovery is as high as 90%??

Shawn's gradually sinking heart instantly raise up, and he becomes hopeful again.

He immediately asked, "But what Sir? President, did you personally knew this doctor? Is he in the hospital?"

"No," Roan shook his head. "I personally knew him, but right now, he's a businessman that hasn't been in the medical field for many years now. That's why he said he might not help."

The ray of hope that had just been ignited in the bottom of his heart fell down once again.

He's not been a doctor for so many years?

Would he still perform surgery on his brother.

But...

If he only had one percent hope, he could not give up.

Shane was the only loved one he had in this world.

No matter what method was used, he would fight for him.

Looking up, he said determined. "President, Sir, can you give me that person's contact information. Please, I want to talk with him."

A look of delight flashed across Roan's eyes very quickly before it vanished like it never happened, and just pretended to look uncomfortable.

After a few seconds of silence, he nodded and said. "Well, I'll give you his contact information and his address. Well, not really his residence but his office address. Because he will get angry if I tell you his home address. Though, when you met him, please don't tell him that I sent you."

Shawn's face break out in a big smile. "Thank you sir! Thank you very much!"

***

At the Martinez Corporation Main Branch, a towering building in the middle of New York City..

Shawn was looking at the tall skyscraper in front of him, and gulp loudly.

He watched the revolving glass door, and he couldn't help but feel scared and anxious.

But when he thought of Shane, he picked up his courage once again, took a deep breath and walked forward.

But as soon as he reached the front desk he was stopped.

The female staff on the front desk were two beautiful women with good figures, exquisite makeup on their faces, and several luxury jewelry on them.

When one of them, first saw him, her eyes was suddenly felt of envy. She's aware that he's a man but there were something in his looks that says that him being a man does not matter, because with his looks he can still seduce even the most holiest man.

He's that beautiful.

A very sinful beauty...

But when she saw that he's wearing very ordinarily, almost like he's in rags, she become more arrogant.

You might look beautiful but you're as poor as a beggar.

"Sir, you need to register first before you could look for someone here."

Shawn hesitate for a minute before giving the name, President Roan had given him. "Hi, I want to talk to a man named, Leander Martinez, is he working here?"

As soon as he said those words, he heard them gasp.

The female employee who has not a good attitude, was even more hostile. She was almost glaring at him. "Who the hell are you to call Chairman Martinez by his name? You need to have an appointment before you could meet him."

Chairman Martinez?

Shawn was stunned, speechless.

Was the man named Leander Martinez the top of the company?

Looking at the reaction of the two employees in the front desk, it's probably the truth.

What now?

Its not like he could force his way in there. So he answered them honestly, "I don't have an appointment."

"Ha." The female employee, sneered dismissively when she heard that. "The Cairmam won't see anyone randomly. You don't have any appointment but you till want to see him. Youth this days, have thick skin."

Shawn frowned, "I think you misunderstood me. I'm...."

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by the female employee once again. "We don't have any interest on what you think. In short, the Chairman will not see without an appointment. You can go now..."
