It has been three days since she was appointed as Frank's assistant professor. It gave additional work to Viona aside from serving outpatients and performed surgeries. Without her knowing, her transfer to become Professor Frank's personal assistant was actually a direct order from Fernando.
Apparently, Fernando deliberately put Viona by his younger brother's side so that Viona couldn't run away anywhere, especially since he already knew that Professor Frank also liked Viona.
It was done so that Viona was bonded with him and it would be easier for him to control her than when she was just being an ordinary surgeon.
His plan to make Viona a professor had failed because Viona apparently resigned at the last stage and made Doctor Adam a professor, even though on paper Viona was much more competent than Doctor Adam. However, because Viona resigned, Doctor Adam directly won the competition.
"Oh God, today I'm really tired," said Viona in the locker room when she was going to change her clothes.
"You must be very overwhelmed, Doc," said Nurse Tina sympathetically. She knew that all this time Viona had never complained.
"This is amazing, Tina. I have to learn more from Professor Frank and still have to work, my head feels like it will break," said Viona, tying her hair high in a ponytail.
"Be patient, Doc," said Nurse Tina, patting Viona on the shoulder.
Viona nodded slowly and waved her hand because Nurse Tina had finished changing her clothes. Since morning Nurse Tina was busy asking Viona for advice because she had a date with her boyfriend.
Viona, who had never been in a relationship, was not too sure how to answer Nurse Tina's questions other than to confirm all of Nurse Tina's words.
"Is it really that fun to have a boyfriend that it makes someone feel so excited when it's time to go home from work?" Viona asked softly, as she saw Nurse Tina walk quickly toward the street because her boyfriend was already waiting for her in his blue Audi car.
Viona got ready to go out after changing her clothes, but suddenly her steps stopped when she heard voices of several women talking about her from the next hallway.
"What a sneaky woman! How could she seduce Professor Frank to be his assistant?"
"Yes, you're right, shouldn't the assistant professor Frank be co-assistants like us?"
"No wonder the female doctors in this hospital don't like her."
"Yeah, you're right. Especially Doctor Amy and Doctor Louisa, they really hate Doctor Viona."
"But it seems we have to learn from her in order for our career to soar up quickly ha ha ha!"
"Ha ha ha ha ....."
Viona's chest suddenly felt tight when she heard the words of these new doctors. At the hospital, the young doctors who were very friendly to her every time they met, apparently often talk about her behind her back.
Not wanting to feel any deeper pain, Viona finally went out quickly so that she was not noticed by the young doctors.
While walking towards the bus stop, suddenly a Jeep stopped in front of her, which shocked Viona so much that she almost fell.
"Youuuu!!! You suck!" Viona shouted quickly when she realized that the driver of the car was Andrew.
"Hehe.. Get in," said Andrew quickly as he opened the door for Viona.
Without waiting, Viona immediately got into Andrew's car. They then left the hospital quickly. It had been almost a week since Viona saw Andrew because the police officer was having a seminar outside the city with his superiors.
"Is it true that your siblings are here?" Andrew asked repeatedly to confirm Viona's words.
"This is your fifth question, Andrew!" Viona replied sarcastically as she turned sharply at Andrew who was standing next to her as they queued to buy hotdogs.
"I just want to make sure, Vio," said Andrew, pretending to be sad.
Viona couldn't help laughing when she saw Andrew's adorable behavior. They then found a place to sit to enjoy their steaming hotdogs.
"How long have they been here?" Andrew asked as he opened his hotdog wrapping paper.
"They'll return to London tomorrow without me," Viona replied, enjoying her almond milk without expression.
"What do you mean?" asked Andrew quickly.
"Yes, their goal here is to take me back to London, but suddenly all plans must be canceled because I was appointed as Professor Frank's personal assistant," Viona gave a lengthy reply.
"Cough cough ..."
Suddenly Andrew choked on the food that he just chewed. Viona immediately gave him her almond milk for Andrew to drink, because Andrew's drink was still hot.
"What did you say, Vio?" asked Andrew with difficulty.
"What's what? I should ask why you can choke like that!" Viona said fiercely with exasperation, seeing a person as big as Andrew could still choke on his food.
"I'm serious, Viona! What did you say earlier?" Andrew asked with shiny eyes.
Viona was silent to hear Andrew's words. She tried to remember her last words before Andrew choked.
"Oh, yes, as you heard earlier and this is the third day for me," Viona said quickly when she realized what Andrew meant.
"Why? How can you be the assistant to that crazy guy?" Andrew asked, grabbing Viona's hand.
"Ouch, that hurts ..." Viona squeaked when she felt her little hand was gripped firmly by Andrew.
"I'm sorry, sorry, I didn't mean that," said Andrew quickly as he let go of his grip on Viona. His eyes suddenly looked sad when he saw Viona's hand was red because of his grip.
"It's okay, Andrew. Don't think about it," Viona replied, stroking her hand which felt a little painful. However, she couldn't hide the pain.
Andrew stared at Viona with a guilty look. He then took Viona's hand and slowly massaged her wrist.
"Why don't you refuse it, Vio?" asked Andrew suddenly.
"There's no way I can refuse it when it's a direct order from the director," Viona replied quickly.
"Calm down, Andrew, I can take care of myself. After all, I have you beside me, then what should I be afraid of?" Viona asked back, smiling broadly to show the row of white teeth.
He smiled at Viona's words. He felt flattered because she said something like that, without realizing that his face had turned red. Viona, who was busy replying to a message from Jenni, didn't notice the change in his face.
"You have to be careful, Vio. Remember to call me if anything suspicious happens," Andrew said repeatedly when they arrived in front of Viona's apartment building.
"Yes, sir, I understand," Viona said, a little annoyed that Andrew had been repeating the same words since they left the hotdog stand.
Andrew raised his hands in the air like a prisoner who was caught by the police in response to Viona's words. She couldn't help laughing at his expression. She immediately went in because it was getting cold and she didn't want the hotdogs she had bought for Jenni and Amina to get cold.
Seeing Viona entered the apartment that looked safe made Andrew smile faintly. He was amazed by Viona's new choice of residence this time because the apartment Viona chose was the residence of expats from various countries who worked in the city, so the security of this apartment was guaranteed.
"How can I take my revenge if you are beside him, Vio?" Andrew said softly, staring at the photo of a teenage girl who was smiling broadly in the photo with him.
Andrew's tears suddenly streamed down his handsome face as he stared at the photo. Memories from his past flashed into his mind vividly.
