Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 41

"Didn't he just have surgery two days ago? I'm on my way!"

My chest tightened. I only had time to tell Kourtney to head home before I rushed off with Nora.

Watching me leave, Kourtney felt a pang of concern.

Just then, the door opened and Casey walked in. Her eyes met Kourtney's, and her expression immediately darkened.

"What are you doing here?"

Kourtney took a step back when she saw Casey. "You… Dr. Ranford went to check on a patient. He's not here."

"Of course, I know he's not here."

Casey looked her up and down with disdain. "Fresh out of college, huh? You look like you'd blow away in a breeze. What, did you pretend to trip and fall into his arms to seduce him?"

Kourtney's face went pale. "I don't know what you're talking about. Dr. Ranford is a good man. He doesn't like you. Please stop bothering him."

The next moment, Casey slapped her across the face.

Kourtney clutched her cheek, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to speak about us?" She stepped toward the desk, and Kourtney instinctively blocked her. "No, this is Dr. Ranford's office. What are you trying to do?"

"We were together for over five years and almost got married. He spent millions of dollars on gifts for me every year. Do you think he can just walk away from this relationship like it's nothing? You're just a bumpkin from the countryside, you think you're good enough to compete with me?"

Casey grabbed Kourtney by the chin and looked at her with contempt. "Not only am I not leaving, but I'm going to wait right here until he gets back. Now, get out!"

Kourtney clenched her fists. "Dr. Ranford told me himself that he would never love a woman like you."

"Bitch!" Casey slapped her again, her eyes flashing with rage. "Didn't you hear me? I said get out!"
