Chapter 489: Rip Off (part one)

"Oh, Luke, are you out of your mind? How dare you act so cool in front of your boss?" Rain smiled playfully while leaning against the door. He had a pile of documents in his hands. Luke wondered why Rain had brought over so many papers here. Jesus, did he think that an ailing patient like Edward could effectively look over this much paperwork?

You're barking up the wrong tree." Luke rolled his eyes and sulked. He turned his back to Rain and decided against interacting with him. He was always quiet and was unwilling to argue with anyone.

Oh, Is that so? So do you think Edward was just teasing you?" After putting the papers on the table, Rain kept on ridiculing Luke. He wanted to test Luke's limits to see how far he could push him. For Rain, teasing Luke was one of the biggest joys of his life. Unfortunately, Edward was there, too. In the end, Rain failed to provoke Luke to violent rage, but he unwittingly offended Edward.

"Rain, what the fuck are you doing here during working hours? Go back to the office and get to work right away! Or I won't mind giving you a beating of a lifetime." Edward said menacingly. He stared at Rain with an intimidating gaze. 'Is Rain implying that he is a homosexual who has fallen for Luke? Maybe Rain doesn't have enough work to keep him busy.' Edward started thinking about the tasks that could be assigned to Rain.

"Damn it! Don't nag me. The papers need to be signed by you. If I can't come here, would you come to the office in person? I don't mind carrying you on the stretcher." Rain Xia shook his shoulders as he spoke. The implication was clear, he did this out of kindness. As a matter of fact, Rain hadn't even read these papers. Since Edward signed the papers, there was no need for him to review. He always did it like this.

"So you think I well enough to work now." Edward said in a low voice, with his beautiful eyes viciously sizing up Rain. He knew Rain was good at dumping the work on him. He wondered what excuse Rain had cooked up this time.

Come on, dude. You have just hurt your chest, not your brain and hands. I am sure you can write and think normally. Then why can't you sign the papers?" Rain was thinking about the two-month holiday Edward had mentioned earlier. He didn't want to accept that. Thus he had to allot the work to Edward before it was put into effect. He was not afraid of Edward's refusal because he was well aware that Edward was quite concerned about these programs.

Gosh! How can you say that? Rain, you are mistreating my recovering patient? Why are you so cruel?" said Tom. Tom had just come back from his ward round. He was wearing the doctor's white coat, with a stethoscope around his neck.

Jerry, I must admit that your medical skills are really poor! Edward has been hospitalized for many days, but he hasn't recovered yet. How can people call you a talented doctor when you are so bad at your job." So far as sharp tongues were concerned Rain was sure to be annihilated by Edward. But when it came to Jerry, it was a different story altogether.

You think it's not a big deal, just like a minor wound by a knife or a tiny bite by you? You brainless stupid jerk! Stop your pretentious rubbish, OK? It is in his heart. I am more professional than you. I would make you lie in the hospital bed in a second. Do you want a go at it?"

Tom rolled his eyes. It was fine by him when Rain was messing with Edward, but he couldn't stand it as Rain questioned his art of healing. In Tom's opinion, Rain was the most idle person who was stupid enough to pick a fight at the hospital.

Knock it off. I know you are going to be finished soon. You tricked Edward by providing him the unnecessarily extravagant ward. In fact, I believe you ripped him off, like someone who kills a pig to get the most pork. Money is all you've ever wanted." Rain smiled evilly, staring at Tom, but he didn't notice how dark Edward's face was.

"Aha, now you are dead, too," said Tom happily. At the same time, he carefully checked Edward's wound, making sure his body blocked Rain's view of Edward's angry face. He realized Edward was displeased and a thunderstorm was about to come, but Rain was unaware about it.

Just you? It's impossible for you to kill me. You are too weak." Rain planked himself into the sofa, crossing his legs like a wicked gangster.

What about him and me? Is that possible?" A cold voice whispered in his ears. Rain got so scared that he jumped up from the sofa in a flash. He didn't understand it, why was Mr. Mu telling him off?

"Err... It's highly possible. But in that case, would you do me a favor first? Tell me what I've done to upset you, my dear Edward." Rain Xia was confused and totally nervous. He craned his neck to peer at Edward. Even over Tom's low-hanging shoulder, he still felt as cold as falling into an ice house.

"Did you just compare me to a pig? Uh-huh!" In fact, Edward had declined this damned ward. But Tom had made great efforts to arrange him into it, and he finally had to accept it. But now Rain brought up the subject again. No wonder he was furious with Rain. Besides, Rain compared him to a fat pig. Edward had been away for just a few days, had Rain forgotten who the boss was?

"Err! I never said that." Rain shook his head, trying to recall what he had said moments ago. Suddenly he stared at Tom with his eyes wide open. Rain was disappointed with his dimwitted words. Tom continued to smile vaguely. Am I had by Tom? He thought quietly.

Do you remember now? Said Edward calmly with his eyes fixed on Rain. There was no smile on his face but a cold fury in his heart.

No! Je wouldn't admit it even if he got killed. Because that would be worse than being killed if he admitted his mistake. He was no fool.

Luke curled his lips mockingly. Rain was an excellent actor. He said it just a few minutes ago, but now he was pretending that he had lost his memory. It wouldn't work with a smart man like Edward.
