Chapter 361:
In the center of the room, lying in an adjustable bed, was Old Mr. Clements.
The elderly patriarch of the Clements family looked frail, but his eyes were sharp and full of stubborn fire. He was currently glaring at a private nurse, aggressively pushing away a small plastic cup of pills.
“I told you, I am not taking those damn horse pills!” the old man barked, his voice surprisingly loud. “Not unless my grandson brings that miracle doctor he won’t stop talking about to look at my charts p>
Brogan let out a heavy, exhausted sigh. He walked to the side of the bed, gesturing for June to follow.
“Grandpa,” Brogan said, raising his voice slightly. “Look who I brought to see you p>
Old Mr. Clements stopped glaring at the nurse. He fumbled on the bedside table, grabbed his thick, wire-rimmed reading glasses, and shoved them onto his face. He squinted at June.
Instantly, the grumpy scowl vanished, replaced by a massive, beaming smile.
June stepped forward, offering a polite, elegant bow.
“It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Clements,” June said, her voice clear and professional. “I am June Erickson, the Chief Scientist at Apex Bio p>
However, Old Mr. Clements suffered from severe, advanced nerve deafness. And today, the battery in his expensive hearing aid was completely dead.

He didn’t hear “Chief Scientist p>
The old man gasped in absolute delight. He reached out with a trembling, liver-spotted hand and grabbed June’s wrist, pulling her closer to the bed.
“Oh, my word!” Old Mr. Clements shouted happily. “This is the brilliant girl you told me about? The one you said was the most important person in your life? You are Brogan’s fiancée p>
The air in the VIP suite instantly froze.
The private nurse dropped a chart on the floor. Brogan’s eyes widened in sheer panic. To protect June from the ugly public gossip surrounding the Compton divorce, he had deliberately avoided using her married name when speaking to his grandfather. He had only ever referred to her as “Dr. Erickson,” praising her as the most incredible woman he had ever met. He had never anticipated his grandfather’s failing mind would leap to such a sweeping romantic conclusion.
June’s professional smile collapsed entirely. She blinked rapidly, her brain struggling to process the word.
“No, sir, please, you misunderstand,” June said quickly, leaning in closer so he could hear her. “I am not his fiancée. I am his business p>
Old Mr. Clements completely ignored her. He patted her hand with enthusiasm, his eyes shining with tears of joy.
“Finally!” the old man cheered, looking at Brogan with immense pride. “I thought this idiot boy was going to die alone in a laboratory! But he found himself a gorgeous, brilliant girl! You have incredible posture, my dear p>
June turned her head, shooting a desperate, wide-eyed look of panic at Brogan. Fix this! her eyes screamed.
