It had been three days since the incident of Andrew's giving his ring to Viona in a public place, but since then Andrew had not contacted Viona at all. And so was Viona, who didn't dare to take the first initiative.
In her opinion, a job as a police officer was a job that needed full concentration, so he couldn't be disturbed at will. Therefore Viona didn't want to contact Andrew first, but there was one person who never stopped bothering Viona, and that was none other than Fernando Gray Willan.
Fernando contacted Viona almost every hour, even though he only sent an ordinary message to ask whether Viona had eaten, had slept, and so on.
Viona, who knew the nature and character of Fernando, tried as much as possible not to give the man the green light.
She would only reply to messages from Fernando once a day, but without her realizing it, it was precise because of her attitude that Fernando became more and more eager to pursue her.
Viona went to the hospital by bus as usual because Andrew didn't pick her up anymore. She was a bit annoyed because she felt like she was being dumped by Andrew.
"Hi Doc," said Nurse Tina cheerfully when she saw Viona coming from the employee entrance.
"Morning, Tina" replied Viona kindly.
"Come on, Doc. They're waiting for us for the briefing," said Nurse Tina, holding Viona's hand.
"First I want to go to the toilet after changing my clothes," said Viona, releasing Nurse Tina's hand from her arm.
Nurse Tina nodded slowly then walked to the briefing room with other staff. After she saw her assistant leave, Viona then walked into the changing room. Viona took off the ring that Andrew gave and put it in the locker. As a doctor on duty, she was not allowed to wear any jewelry, so she took off the only jewelry she had.
After changing her clothes, Viona came out of the locker to go to the briefing room. But she stopped in front of the door when she saw that the person she had been avoiding was standing sweetly against the wall with two glasses of americano.
"Morning, Sweety," said Fernando, standing up straight.
"Why are you here?" Viona replied curtly.
"Because I have to make sure my future wife gets to work safely," Fernando replied smiling.
Thump ...
Hearing the words 'future wife' mentioned by Fernando made Viona feel like she was stung by something.
"Who wants to be your wife?!" shouted Viona quickly as she walked away from Fernando.
"Hey wait, at least accept this coffee. You have to appreciate the gift that people give you sincerely," said Fernando as he walked quickly and followed Viona.
"Thank you," Viona replied as she took the coffee cup that Fernando gave her.
"Ok, then I'll go back to my office, and you have a great day at work, little Sweety," said Fernando jokingly as he walked away.
"You insolent man!!" Viona was fiercely irritated. She walked quickly to the briefing room, but suddenly stopped her steps after she realized that she was misdirected.
"Thanks to this Fernando!!!" Viona said to herself as she turned around half running.
From behind the wall, Fernando smiled seeing her behavior. He then took out his cell phone and wrote down a few words that he would send to Viona.
After sending the message, he walked to the director's office, because he had to discuss the program they would do in the near future regarding the addition of hospital facilities.
When Viona arrived in the briefing room, it seemed that the briefing was over. Some doctors didn't seem to like seeing her late. Even Doctor Amy deliberately talked loudly to insult Viona and her other friends, she was still hurt by Jenni's treatment at the mall some time ago.
"Doctor Viona," called Professor Adam suddenly, which stopped Viona's steps.
"Yes Doc, is there anything I can do to help?" Viona replied kindly.
"What time is it? It's no wonder you failed in the competition yesterday!! People who don't respect time don't deserve a position as a professor," said Doctor Louisa teasing Viona.
"Next time I hope you can come earlier, Doc," said Professor Adam coldly.
"Sorry Doc, I will pay more attention to the time in the future," Viona replied, still trying to smile.
Professor Adam was silent on hearing Viona's answer. He realized that Viona was a doctor with abilities far above him. Only the position of the professor differentiates him from Viona.
"Is there anything else, Doc?" asked Viona, breaking Professor Adam's reverie.
"Oh no, please go back to your office," replied Professor Adam haltingly.
Viona nodded her head slowly then turned around and walked gracefully towards her practice room followed by Nurse Tina.
Hearing Viona's footsteps made some of the young doctors look a little intimidated. The aura that emanated from Viona could really incite fear in people's hearts, even Professor Adam felt the same way.
If at that time Viona hadn't resigned from the selection process, Professor Adam wouldn't have been in the current professor position.
Some female doctors who were jealous of Viona were getting annoyed. They don't like seeing Viona who was respected by many people, including the professors.
"Are you done gossiping?" asked Professor Frank, who had arrived next to Professor Adam.
"Ooohhh no, sir, sorry, sir," answered the female doctors who had been gossiping about Viona haltingly.
"Return to your respective rooms," Professor Frank said further.
Hearing the words of the senior professor, the female doctors and several nurses immediately left without being ordered twice.
"We all know why you are in this position today, Professor Adam" whispered Professor Frank quietly, as he passed Professor Adam who was bowing at him.
"Sorry, sir, I don't understand what you mean," replied Professor Adam in a barely audible voice.
Instead of answering, Professor Frank smiled and left Professor Adam, who was confused and didn't understand what the most handsome professor at Global Bross Hospital was talking about.
Days passed quickly for Viona because today there were not many patients, so she didn't feel tired. Viona didn't even have her lunch as she wasn't hungry.
When she checked her cell phone, her face suddenly changed when she read the many messages from Fernando accompanied by almost hundreds of missed calls, making her cell phone run out of power.
"Damn you, Adolf Hitler," Viona said quietly.
"Excuse me, Doc?" asked Nurse Tina quickly.
"Oh no, I just saw a few friends' posts on my social media," Viona lied.
"Oh yes, I just remembered that Mr. Fernando was looking for you," said Nurse Tina suddenly
"What is it?" Viona asked flatly.
"I don't know, Doc. He didn't say anything. He just gave me this to give to you,r" replied Nurse Tina, handing over a large paper bag whose contents were tightly closed.
"Okay, thanks," said Viona quickly.
"Alright then, I have to change my clothes first," said Nurse Tina, leaving Viona in the practice room alone.
Viona nodded slowly in response to her assistant's words. After seeing Nurse Tina left, Viona opened the bag from Fernando. She took out a handwritten note from the bag. It was Fernando's handwriting.
"Hi, Sweety,
tonight I will attend my friend's wedding. You have to come with me because this party will not be festive without your presence ...
NB: Please wear the clothes I have chosen and don't argue. I don't like being argued.
See u soon, (I'll pick you up in front of Kingcastle's Apartment at 7 pm)"
Fernando G. Willan.
Reading the note that Fernando left for her surprised her a little because she finally found out that Fernando already knew where her new apartment was.
"I really can't hide from that annoying man. How can he know where I live?" said Viona silently, staring at the beautiful party dress with a box containing luxurious jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
