Chapter 44 I’d Like To Ask You Out On A Date

The elevator that Sarah and Steve in beeped, signaling that they had arrived at Sarah's destination floor.

Sarah and Steve's gaze immediately focused on the open elevator door.

"Then, I'll go first!" Sarah said then immediately got out of the elevator.

"So? I haven't heard your answer."

Steve's question took Sarah by surprise. She didn't expect Steve to be with her even though the floor of Steve's working room was not on this floor.

He didn't seem to be leaving until Sarah answered him.

"Tomorrow? I do not know yet. I have to see my schedule," Sarah replied as she walked towards the locker room.

"Why did you ask?" Sarah asked then decided to stop and look at Steve who continued to follow her. Is the man not busy?

"I'd like to ask you out on a date," Steve replied softly then looked at Sarah intensely.

Sarah fell silent when she heard this.

Date?

Steve wants to ask her on a date?!

But why?

Did Steve have feelings for her all this time?

Suddenly Sarah began to feel something strange in her heart, she had known Steve for a long time and even though they had lost contact, Steve was a good friend.

She didn't expect the man she had considered like a friend to actually have such feelings for her…

"Pfftt… Your expression is really funny, haha," said Steve who couldn't help but laugh.

Sarah, who had looked confused and surprised, immediately came back to her senses when she heard Steve's laugh and saw his usual mischievous expression.

That man! Truly! He teased her again!

Without waiting any longer, Sarah's hand immediately hit Steve's arm in annoyance.

"Do you think it's funny? I told you not to joke like that!" said Sarah angrily.

"Ouch ouch! Yes yes! Sorry!" Steve said as Sarah continued to beat him non-stop. People might think he's overreacting, but Sarah's punches really hurt!

Sarah snorted then immediately left Steve.

"I know it! There was no way he would see me like that!" Sarah thought and snorted once more.

"Wait a minute! I'm not done talking yet!" Steve said then ran after Sarah and stopped right in front of the woman.

"What? Isn't it still too early to joke with me?" Sarah asked fiercely. Sarah didn't understand at all, Steve was a grown man, but he continued to act like a child.

"No I am serious! Do you have time tomorrow?" Steve asked with a serious expression on his face.

"I told you I should check my schedule first! Will I have surgery tomorrow or not!" said Sarah angrily.

Steve suddenly came up to her when she wasn't even going to her room. She doesn't even know about today's schedule, let alone tomorrow?

"Ah! I mean at night!" Steve corrected his words. He doesn't know why he suddenly became stupid like this.

"I didn't know about that either! So why did you ask?" asked Sarah, starting to get annoyed. Steve had been making her blood boil in the morning and it had become so indistinct.

She initially thought Steve was just trying to prank her, but suddenly he was serious about his question.

Steve was silent, didn't answer right away, his expression looking doubtful.

Sarah raised her eyebrows, starting to look impatient.

"Actually… do you still remember Ellen?" Steve asked quietly, his face troubled.

Sarah's brow furrowed, her brain in deep thought, trying to remember who Ellen was. Somehow the name feels very familiar.

"Ah! Your nursing student girlfriend?" Sarah asked when she managed to remember the person.

In their second year or third year of college, Steve suddenly came with a woman when they were supposed to be doing group work together in the library.

The woman was Ellen, a student at their college, but majoring in nursing.

As Sarah recalled, the relationship between the two lasted quite a long time, almost a year, before Steve was seen starting to be alone. However, Sarah did not know the reason why they broke up.

"Yeah, you still remember it," Steve muttered under his breath while scratching the back of his head, his face a little embarrassed.

"But why are you suddenly bringing up your ex-girlfriend?" Sarah asked confusedly.

What does she have to do with Steve's ex-girlfriend?

"You better not beat around the bush! I have to get to work right away!" threatened Sarah when she saw Steve's face in trouble.

"Ellen is getting married tomorrow!" said Steve finally.

"Oh…" Sarah pursed her lips. That was the only response she could give.

"But what does that have to do with me?" Sarah asked confusedly.

"Can you accompany me to the wedding? She suddenly invited me. I initially thought not to come, but after thinking about it, I would look like a loser," said Steve, starting to explain his doubts when he received the news that his ex was going to get married.

"But I didn't want to come alone. So you have to accompany me," Steve continued confidently.

Sarah snorted at that. So this is the reason why Steve asked about her schedule. Then why did he have to say they were going on dates?

"Then why do you think I want to accompany you?" Sarah asked then folded her arms across her chest lifting her chin.

"Because I want you to accompany me?" Steve asked back, blinking his eyes.

Sarah hit Steve's arm back when she heard that. Why does that man look so confident like that?

"Anyway, tomorrow night we're going to the wedding. Don't forget to clear your schedule!"

After saying that, Steve immediately ran towards the elevator without waiting for Sarah's answer.

Sarah just sighed and immediately went to the locker room to change her clothes.

Finished changing clothes, Sarah immediately headed to her room to see her schedule for today. Subconsciously, she checked the schedule whether tomorrow she will be on duty for night surgery or not.

Although at first she seemed a little reluctant to accept Steve's invitation, Sarah was actually determined to help Steve.

Steve had helped her many times over the years, and she owed him a lot.

"I should have made him plead with me earlier," Sarah muttered, slightly regretting not doing so.

***

Sarah had just finished surgery and after changing clothes, she headed to her room to get the money in her bag because it was lunch time.

"Doctor Sarah!"

Sarah immediately turned her head when she heard someone calling her name, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the nurse who greeted her was chatting with another nurse.

"Hey!" said Sarah with a small smile.

The three nurses then immediately approached Sarah. It seemed the three of them didn't just want to say hello to Sarah.

"Doctor Sarah, do you have a boyfriend?" asked one of the nurses who was younger than him. Sarah knew the nurse, she spoke to her a few times.

Sarah fell silent when she heard this. Did the nurse see her coming home with Michael?
