Chapter 16 - Please Take Care Of Her For Me, Oliver

Kyra was taken off guard when Oliver willingly took her under his wing.

She didn't expect him to do this, especially after how she messed up his first impression on her.

Not only her but everyone in the room was surprised. This is the first time Oliver is willingly taking someone under his wing to train them personally. Everytime he was asked to do so, he would right away deny saying that it wouldn't suit his style.

Kyra is the only exception.

But again, someone like Kyra deserves to work with someone as extraordinary as Oliver.

They both are gifted surgeons despite their young age.

He, despite being young, performed many astonishing surgeries and published many inspiring papers.

He is even the youngest professor, director and head surgeon of the neurology department.

On other hand, Kyra is no ordinary. They have seen it by themselves and besides this, they have also heard how she saved a boy at the airport. They also heard from their fellow doctor how she helped him to come up with a better surgery technique for a complicated surgery

So others didn't think much about it except for a few doctors.

A few of them wanted to take Kyra as their fellow and as some of others hate Oliver as he became director and head of department at his young age.

But they can't do anything about it either. Oliver is not someone to mess with. He might look harmless but he is no saint. He is rumoured to be a cold, ruthless person to anyone who goes against him.

Moreover, he is the owner of this hospital and all its subsidiaries. If he wants, he would have become a president himself but everyone knows that he prefers to perform surgeries more than managing the hospital.

So, naturally no one dared to speak and. After all, if he wants to fire any doctor, that is not a big deal for him. They could only be cautious not to offend him…

A few minutes later, everyone dispersed.

They have to attend the important meeting in a few minutes, so they have to prepare for that.

Meanwhile, Oliver stood outside the meeting room, clueless of how to initiate the talk with Kyra. He has to give her pointers as she needs to know about all the upcoming surgeries they would be performing together.

And, when Kyra walked out of the room, his whole body froze.

That deja vu feeling invaded his mind again but he couldn't put his finger on why...

Meanwhile, when Kyra saw Oliver looking at her, she stopped in her tracks.

Subconsciously, her heart started to beat erratically.

Something always triggers in her heart when she sees him, but she simply couldn't comprehend what it is...

"Please take care of her for me, Oliver. She is like a daughter to me" the president who just walked to them after a brief talk with the other doctors told Oliver and after giving Kyra a smile, he left.

Now, it's just Oliver and Kyra standing in the corridor now.

They awkwardly stood, not looking at each other but looking at the floor as if it's the most exciting thing to observe.

It's obvious that they don't want to start staring competition again...

Kyra was happy that she would be working with her idol, but she also felt nervous. His presence has a strange yet intense effect on her. After all, focus is the crucial key to success as a surgeon.

The same goes for Oliver too.

"Uhmm...Miss Lopez, meet me in my office after lunch. Till then please look into the file of a patient on bed three in ICU" he told her, trying to sound as stoic as possible.

"Got it, Mr. Miller'' Kyra answered, relieved that he didn't bring up yesterday's situation. However, they will be working closely so it's impossible to continue avoiding each other.

After giving her a brief node, Oliver walked away.

His heart is already thumping erratically against his ribcage and he could feel his mind acting all jittery.

Now, they will be seeing each other for more than twelve hours a day and they have to work very closely, more like partners. Their actions should be in sync and they have to be cordial with each other in order to work effectively in operation theatre. Otherwise, they will be putting the patient at risk.

And, it bothered him more than anything. His emotions seems to spiral out of his control when it comes to her and his erratically beating heart is the proof of it.

....

Meanwhile, Kyra returned back to her office room and slumped in her chair heavily.

What will happen if these fan girls find out?

She is not afraid of them but she is worried that they will disturb her and affect her work efficiency.

'Working with Oliver is worth it' She comforted herself. He is her idol after all.

"Ria..Ria" Ron called her, bringing her back to reality from her memory lane.

"Uhm.. what?" Kyra asked.

"You are under which doctor? Dr. Brown? Dr.Smith? Dr.Morgan?-" he was excitedly asking but Kyra interfered.

She looked around and then dropped a bomb, "Dr. Miller"

Ron gasped loudly, making everyone turn at him.

"Don't overreact Ron. She is from a tier 3 University and her family background is very ordinary. She got here by luck. She would have been alloted to Dr.Watson" Teressa, the arrogant girl said. She is the daughter of one of the heads of departments here. So, she simply pulled up some strings to find out more information about Kyra.

Kyra smiled.

This is exactly why her basic information in the database of this hospital is fake.

She doesn't want attention.

If people like Teressa finds out that she is from Collins family and studied in Oxford and was a gold medalist there, they will die with envity.

Ron rolled his head, annoyed. Then, he ignored Teressa and looked at Kyra.

"Ria, did I hear correctly? Is it really 'THE' Oliver Miller?" Ron asked.

"Unfortunately yes.." Kyra answered.
