Meant to Be

Chapter 7

Mark Pov:

After eating lunch with my friends, I was asked for a few consultations and getting ready for my subsequent surgery.

When it was time for her, I changed into appropriate clothes and went to wash myself, as before every treatment. As I entered the room, I noticed that Lexie hadn't arrived yet, so I decided to approach the patient and talk to him before he was put to sleep.

After I allowed the anesthetist to put him to sleep, Jackson Avery entered the room.

- "Sorry I'm late, I'm going to wash up"- he began to explain.

- "Avery, you must be a little lost"- I said.

- "Oh you don't know" he replied, surprised.

- "What I don't know?" - I asked as surprised as he was.

- "Lexie asked me to assist you because she has a lot of paperwork to complete and apparently she got a reprimand from Dr. Hunt for not doing her work." - he explained

- "Okay, then go wash yourself and I'll talk to Dr. Grey after the surgery, why didn't she inform me about this situation" - I told Young Avery

- "Maybe she forgot, she's been busy all day"- he replied.

- "Go to wash because the patient is waiting" - I realized to him.

So Lexie is avoiding me. Apparently she's not ready for the interview yet, or she's so pissed off with me that her meeting with me wouldn't have ended too well. I hope it's the first, because I want everything between us to get back to normal, and secondly, I was very good at working with her. She is talented and knows how to perform complex tasks with great precision, which is extremely necessary in plastic surgery.

After the treatment was over, me and Avery went to wash up.

- "Nice work Avery!" - I praised the resident.

- "Thank you, sir" – thanked.

- "You have talent "- I commented on his actions - "Have you not thought about plastic surgery? You would be suitable."

- "I haven't made my decision yet. But I will definitely take it into account when choosing." - he explained

- "It was very good working with you." - I informed him - "If you want, I can teach you a few things. "

- "I would be very glad"- he replied with a smile -"Then you are on my service tomorrow"- I announced. - "And now goodbye, I'm going to see how our patient is doing."

- "Goodbye and thanks again." - The blue-eyed replied.

As I told Jackson, I went to check on our patient. I can honestly admit that Jackson is a good boy and he will be a good surgeon. He has talent and potential for plastic. And now, as Lexie has probably dropped out of me, I have to have someone to teach and pass on my talent, methods and to be proud of what a good teacher I am. And Avery is perfect for that. He is cute, talented, precise and, above all, focused.

After a quick visit to the patient, I headed over to the Derek and Lexie pre-appointment consultation. I was hoping to finally meet her today, that is, I have seen her today, but she will be standing closer than 10 meters.

When I got there, Derek was already there, talking to the patient.

- "I'm sorry I was a little late, but the operation was prolonged" - I explained.

- "Nothing happened" - my best friend assured me - "Maybe let's not extend it anymore, let's just start."

- "What about Lexie? After all, he also leads the patient." - I asked - "We are not waiting for her?"
