The doctor who has the best attitude towards patients and colleagues, most punctual, most diligent, one who's always available for emergencies and responds to work even when on leave or on holiday, and finally one with the highest rate of successful surgeries or treatment. Here in the hospital, all of the doctors’ life and tasks are actually recorded in the personnel database. John realized at once it was his rival, he decided to record her and if by any chance the reward is given to her this time around, he would bring out this record and show it to the boss. “It must be a special reward, which is why he's coming by himself.” He told himself, nodding her head. For previous years, the award is granted by the Managing Director of the Hospital. As he was recording, he turned around and saw a tall, charming man with a boss aura walking in from the glass door entrance a few meters away. He quickly tapped on the record, saving it. “My mind is telling me, that could be the boss.” His hea
“What?” She gasped, covering her mouth with her palms. Adrian flushed, trying to hide his reaction by turning his face away. “Did I just say that to my boss?” She muttered, raising her face at Adrian. “No, it's fine.” He placed his hand on her shoulder. His light, gentle touch on her raised hormones inside of her body that she fell on his chest. It was a voluntary act, her body and hormones did it without her control. Adrian jerked back in shock. “Huh?” He liked this but he was still the boss, he had to keep some distance especially when they didn't have a precise relationship with each other. He couldn't dismiss her so obviously, so he pulled his phone from his pocket and pretended to make a call, slowly Estella pulled herself up, bowing so low. “I'm so sorry, Dr Adrian. It's my hormones, I didn't do it intentionally.” She apologized. Adrian waved his hand pretending to be engrossed with the call. When he took his phone and placed it inside his pocket, he looked at her as if to s
“I should have told myself that he's not my class, nothing deep will develop between us.” She muttered to herself, trying to compose herself. She pulled up her phone and pretended to be busy with it. When she raised her face, they were still there. Gracie couldn't cope with the silence. “Why would you leave me and come down here to date her–” Estella, upon hearing Gracie say this, gasped in shock. “So you were already dating?” She asked him. “I wonder why you two will act this way. Listen, this is a hospital not a place to talk about personal affairs.” Adrian warned. “But you didn't consider that this is an official establishment when you started flirting with her. I can't believe all this is true, so this is the mystery girl you've been fantasizing about and had to print out her pictures and place on the walls–” Adrian quickly placed his hands over her mouth stopping her from saying further. Estella was dumbfounded, she didn't know whether to laugh or blush or ask again if this
“The Acting CEO is retiring in the next three months and so far he's been so diligent and has skyrocketed the growth of this hospital–” With what he had already said and his pushing the main stuff with suspense filled explanations, the three doctors were on the hot seat, even Gracie who's surprised that he was now gonna become her new boss. “What is he trying to say?” Estella questioned herself, her heart was racing as she realized she just got into bad terms with him. For a while, her thoughts drifted her consciousness off. When she regained it, Adrian was close to announcing his decision. “--I had in mind to set Dr Estella as the next Assistant Acting CEO but there has been a sudden change of mind–”“What a fuck!” She murmured, looking from Adrian to her two colleagues and then to Gracie who was awestruck. “I can't believe it, so he even planned to hand over the acting CEO position to her? So they'd gone this far?” She still couldn't believe it and wished it was a dream. “--The
Looking right into her face, she wanted to hear more, she couldn't afford to cope with this kind of suspense. “He and I engaged in a feud today because Gracie, his girlfriend, tracked her way down from Paris to my office in the hospital and confronted me. She claimed she's in a contractual affair relationship with him since he just needed a sex partner, not a woman to date and marry.” “Hmm,” Estella sighed in self-pity, nodding her head as she began to recount her experiences for the day. Raising her head up to look at her best friend, she pulled into a deep breath. “I don't mean to take up much of your time.” Chloe wanted to ask her to take her time and explain what happened but she had already made up her mind to rush up everything and arrive at the final thing that happened. “So I talked back to Adrian because I felt he wanted to use me as his next use and dump. We attended the best doctors meeting afterwards where he handed the Assistant Acting CEO to Dr John, my worst rival i
Before now, even if she missed her, she knew she's just at work and would come back in the next few hours but now there was no coming back. She's gone!“Hmm,” she sighed. Just then she remembered that she didn't lock the door and the windows, she immediately rushed to, panic seizing her chest. The incident of last night became a terror she couldn't just forget. Upon realizing that locking the windows will make the room hot, she had to. “Oh God! Look how I'm already sweating. Maybe I need to meet with the landlady to give a rule not to let any stranger come in without calling the person he's here to see and getting permission.” She thought of this. Few steps to the door to lock it, she heard a knock. She froze. All her mind thought was that it could be the person that knocked at her window last night that had come back. Her legs began to shake. At this moment, she wanted to reach out to the door and lock right away but the tension overwhelming her body wouldn't just let her move. S
“Good morning, Dr John.” Estella murmured, trying to pin down her tears. It wasn't easy bearing to see someone you were once superior to talking down on you and threatening you. The elevator ascended, she wished it would arrive on the floor she was heading to quickly. When she did, she wanted to step out but John blocked the way, not until you address me as sir. She bawled her fist while her head was lowered. “Sir,” she forced out of her throat with anger. John burst out laughing, releasing his hand from the way for her to pass. Bianca was behind smirking with a sarcastic fast. The two returned their attention to each other as the elevator door closed and they went uo together.Estella already began to face the great difficulties John had promised her from his eye gaze yesterday. She kept her head lowered while rushing to her office. She kept checking her phone while on the way to see if any patient had been assigned to her but none. This was quite unusual, by this time she already
His lips formed an O but his eyes weren't showing surprise, he was busy calculating something as she stared at Estella. “I've begged you but you don't want to come and live with me,” he started. Estella’s heart, which had gone dull since yesterday, pumped with so much anger. She shut her head for a few seconds with her face slightly tilted towards her right side. Whenever she did this, she was getting ready to explode with terrifying anger. “Are you trying to tap me to your new wife, Riana, so she will kill me since she didn't succeed on her first attempt?” Cameron grabbed her by the wrist. “What are you saying? How's she my wife when she confessed that the children she has doesn't belong to me but she'd been deceiving me for two good years?”Cameron brought his face close to hers, grabbing her firmly and trying to pull her away with him. Estella struggled but her strength couldn't compare with his. “Come into the car with me. We can't stay here to discuss.” “I don't have anythin
