It had been three days since Cecilia replaced Viona in the surgeon division, in those three days she had always received insults from patients who didn't know that she was the one who replaced Viona.
News about Cecilia who always received backlashes and insults from patients immediately spread throughout the departments in the hospital.
Every time she went to eat, many people would talk about it openly or with only subtle sarcasm. Knowing this had made Chloe feel sorry for Cecilia. However, Cecilia was not at fault because she was only carrying out orders given by the superiors.
"Are you okay?" Chloe asked quietly to Cecilia who was having lunch in the cafeteria.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Cecilia answered, forcing a smile on her face.
"Can I join you?" Chloe asked quietly asking for permission from Cecilia to be able to eat together.
"Of course you can, come to sit with me," she replied excitedly.
Chloe smiled after Cecilia let her sit. She then walked behind Cecilia to an empty chair next to her so that they could eat together.
While eating, many nurses and female doctors teased Cecilia because she often got scolded by the patient. Hearing this made Cecilia lose her appetite, the same thing with Chloe who felt bad for Cecilia.
She knew very well that Viona was the one who asked Cecilia to replace her and it was not Cecilia who asked for it. The rumor circulating in the hospital saying that Cecilia had bribed Viona to replace her position was not true at all.
Due to the increasingly unfavorable atmosphere, Chloe finally asked Cecilia to immediately leave the canteen, her ears were getting hotter after hearing all the insinuations for Cecilia. Even though she had only worked for a few days with Cecilia, she was very upset when she heard that someone was talking about Cecilia right in front of her eyes.
"Now, you do know how to feel embarrassed."
"Why didn't she leave earlier? She makes me lose my appetite."
"That's what you get for being a flatterer who likes to always look good in front of senior doctors, even though she managed to get the Viona's position but in the end, the real Viona's patients refused to be treated by her, isn't that really sad? Haha."
Crack
The sound of the table being hit by Frank loudly was heard by everyone in the canteen, he was pretty frustrated to hear all the chatter of the female staff in the hospital.
"Aren't you her friends? Why are you talking about your friends like that!!" said Frank, standing staring at the group of young doctors eating near Cecilia's table.
"Why are you silent?" Frank added while shouting.
"Don't think that because I am now William's assistant I can't punish you all! I can easily get you out of this hospital if I want," Frank said adding to his previous words.
The young doctors who had insinuated Cecilia fell silent while looking down, they knew that Frank was not a person to be underestimated, especially since Frank was one of the senior doctors at Global Bross Hospital and the younger brother of the largest shareholder in the hospital.
Not long after, the young doctors who had been insinuating Cecilia left the canteen without speaking, causing people in the canteen to shout at the group of young doctors.
Cecilia smiled because she was defended by her senior, as she was about to get up and walk over to Frank to say thank you. He suddenly walked quickly leaving the canteen without speaking.
Seeing Frank leaving had made her more confused, she felt bad that she hadn't said anything to Frank for helping her.
"Frank is known as a bold and kind doctor, but he is also known to be cold among female doctors. So you shouldn't be surprised when you see Professor Frank immediately leaves like that," said Chloe to Cecilia who was still confused when she saw him leave just like that.
"Is that true? But I feel bad because I haven't said anything, not even thanking him," Cecilia replied, she felt that she had a debt of gratitude toward him.
"Yes, it can be proven by the fact that this handsome professor doesn't have a girlfriend, so let's go back to our room now," added Chloe to Cecilia with a big laugh.
Cecilia nodded slowly in response to Chloe's words, the two of them then walked towards the sink, carrying a tray containing her dirty dishes.
After that, the two of them left the canteen and headed back to their office because the break time was almost over.
After Cecilia and Chloe left, Louisa who was sitting in a corner lifted her head slowly, her eyes glazed with tears.
"You don't know what kind of person he really is, if you know the real Frank maybe you wouldn't say something like that," said Louisa to herself.
Last night, Louisa decided to leave Frank's apartment and she returned to her own apartment after she found out that Frank had an affair with Ammy a few days ago.
Louisa finally chose to leave the man she loved with a heavy heart, she couldn't accept the fact that Frank only used her to satisfy his sexual needs. Therefore, when she saw Frank getting angry in the canteen, Louisa was just silent in the corner without saying anything other than pretending to enjoy her lunch.
After finishing lunch, Louisa walked to the sink to put her dirty dishes, when she was almost at the sink, her footsteps stopped when she saw Ammy and her assistant walking toward her who was still standing by the sink.
A faint smile spread across Louisa's face when she saw Ammy laughing cheerfully with her assistant.
"Hope you can make him happy," Louisa said quietly with teary eyes when she saw the woman who had stolen her lover walking away from the canteen without feeling guilty.
In his private room, Frank threw everything on his desk to the floor angrily, he was very upset when Louisa rejected him in the cafeteria.
"Arrgghhhh .... Bastard ..."
"You are such a bitch, Louisa. Who do you think you are!!! You're just a cheap woman who doesn't deserve to reject me like that," Frank shouted madly remembering the incident where Louisa ignored him when he called her in the canteen.
Frank felt that she dumped him after Louisa left him just like that by getting out of his apartment, When Frank returned from Ammy's apartment, he did not find Louisa's whereabouts last night.
Therefore, in the canteen, Frank tried to ask the reason why Louisa left him. Instead of getting an answer from Louisa, he actually received a rejection from Louisa who intentionally ignored him in the canteen.
"Just watch out, Louisa! You'll surely get back to me and kneel down in front of me. I'll make sure of that," Frank said to himself while remembering Louisa's smiling face.
"Not a single woman can leave me without my permission, Louisa…"
