The Doctor And The CEO Chapter 32
Advertisement
When Daniel saw Anthony's expressions he understood what his grandpa was thinking and wanted to apologize but before that, Rachel turned to Jimmy and said, "I went to Peebles for that project and came across Daniel and we encountered some situation and he saved me." She felt guilty for running away and decided to make up a story so as to not hurt Jimmy by letting him know the truth.
Jimmy had a huge grin on his face, "Is that so?" he asked.
"Yes." Rachel replied.
Grandpa Anthony was about to say something but suddenly Jimmy held his hand and signed with his eyes not to speak. Daniel witnessed it and was worried thinking what this duo was upto. These two always fight with each other but if they team-up then no one can beat them, they both are alike and that is the reason why they always fought.
Grandpa James then introduced his friends, "Daniel, these two are my childhood best friends Anthony and Michael. This joker here is Jimmy, Anthony's grandson."
Grandpa Michael asked "you must remember me, We have met here when you came to drop Rachel"
Daniel was hesitated thinking how to react to this, he anyway turned towards Grandpa Michael and said "I do remember, How can I forget"
Grandpa Anthony extended his hand forward introducing himself "I am Anthony Morris, childhood friend of Rachel's grandpa, sorry couldn't meet you last time as my daughter-in-law asked me to rush back home as there was a surprise for me."
Daniel felt guilty seeing the indifferent expression on his grandpa and shook his hand. Anthony then looked at Jimmy and said, "Jimmy my dear grandson, my love, introduce yourself to this stranger."
Jimmy with a naughty smile introduced himself, "I am Jimmy Morris, Anthony Morris' grandson, I am looking after my grandpa's business, I always wanted to pursue a career in acting but due to my brother I couldn't" he was trying to suppress his laugh.

Daniel felt very guilty but Jimmy and Grandpa wanted to tease more and were enjoying it a lot.
"Jimmy we asked you to introduce yourself, not discuss your life problems." Grandpa Michael taunted.
Rachel was surprised to know Jimmy has an elder brother as she thought Jimmy was the only child of his parents, although their grandpas were close, this generation was not very close and didn't even know each other.
Rachel asked Daniel, "It is already late so let us start the brunch" Daniel nodded and then she asked everyone to come to the dining room.
James sat at the end of one side of the table, the one where the head of the family always sits. Michael sat on his left and Anthony sat on his right. Daniel sat next to Michael and Rachel sat next to Daniel. Jimmy sat opposite to Daniel.
He wickedly smiled at Daniel giving him creeps.
Jimmy asked, "Rachel you said this handsome guy next to you saved you, this story sounds interesting, can you tell us more about it."
Rachel hesitated and said, "It is nothing interesting, let's talk about something else."
Grandpa James said, "What nothing it is because of Daniel I am so happy today. Rachel is alive because of him."
He turned towards Anthony and continued, "That day when Rachel came you couldn't meet Daniel as you left so early. He is a doctor who saved my Rachel and protected her for three months. He is a perfect gentleman with all good qualities."
Daniel and Rachel were embarrassed
Rachel thought "I have rejected Jimmy and even lied to him just now saying I was gone for a project, did grandpa forget about it, don't know what Jimmy must be thinking."
Daniel thought "sorry grandpa, this is the first time I have lied to you and hid something important."

Grandpa Anthony interrupted their thoughts, "Is that so? He is a perfect gentleman? I am sure his grandpa must have been really proud of him, right Daniel?"
Daniel felt embarrassed and didn't answer.
Grandpa Anthony continued in a humble tone, "Daniel where are you from? What is your parents profession? Are they both doctors like you?" He was having fun teasing his grandson.
Daniel felt awkward, he understood his grandpa and brother were pretending to not know him and were having fun so he too decided to act along, "I am from London, my mother is an architect and my father is a businessman. I am the only doctor in my family."
Rachel too got happy to know something more about Daniel's personal life.
Jimmy looked at his grandpa and taunted, "Dr. Daniel looks so dull. Seems like your questions are making him uncomfortable."
Everyone looked at these two and thought why are they behaving so casually with Daniel and instead they look like they are taunting and teasing him.
Jimmy then said, "Grandpas don't you all think Dr. Daniel and Rachel look like a young couple in love, see they are wearing same colored clothes, it is nowadays a trend to wear color coordinated clothes."
Daniel and Rachel then looked at each other's clothes and so did everyone present there, they were indeed wearing white t-shirts and blue jeans.
"It is just a coincidence." Daniel said, embarrassed by his brother.
Michael said "you know what Jimmy, the very first day when I saw Daniel and Rachel together, I thought there is some compatibility between the two and my gut feeling says that there is something going on between them"
Daniel choked on his food not expecting grandpa Michael to say something like that so frankly. Rachel quickly handed over a glass of water to him. She too was embarrassed with Michael's words but she also enjoyed it.
Grandpa James decided to save these two from embarrassment and asked "Anthony when is your grandson Danny coming?"

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
