Lisa and Jisoo surprisingly had no scheduled surgeries today. So when they finished their rounds, they managed to have dinner in the cafeteria on time for once. When Minnie entered the canteen, she filled a tray with food, then approached the two figures sitting on a table by the window.

Jisoo had been busy drinking soup when he noticed Minnie sitting down across from Lisa, causing him to immediately spray out a mouthful of soup.

"Why are you so disgusting." Minnie passed him some napkins.

Jisoo glanced at Lisa as he coughed. Seeing that Lisa wasn't overtly shocked by Minnie's arrival, he simply bowed his head and focused on his food, not taking the initiative to say hello.

Feeling that the atmosphere was getting awkward, Jisoo tried to find a topic to talk about: "Cough, right, Minnie, I remember that Dr. Lane is staying here for a month? Are you going back to America afterward, or are you staying?"

Dr. Lane was Minnie's mentor in America. City Hospital recently invited Dr. Lane to come and teach, so Minnie followed him here as his student.

"I'm going back to America first, after all, I still have two months before I finish my studies." While saying this, Minnie sneaked a peek at Lisa.

"What about after you graduate? Are you going back to your children's hospital, or are you going to work here at City Hospital?" Jisoo asked.

"I was invited by both hospitals, but I'm still undecided." Minnie saw still glancing at Lisa.

Lisa finished his food, put down his chopsticks, and took a napkin to wipe his mouth. Looking towards Minnie, he asked her: "Minnie, did you look for Jennie yesterday?"

Jisoo froze, his eyes turning to Lisa.

When Minnie passed the lipsticks to Jennie, she knew that Lisa would definitely find out. It seems that she troubled Jennie yesterday. Minnie felt smug at this, but her face remained neutral as she replied: "Yes, I was really embarrassed that I took the lipstick you bought for Jennie, so I brought it back with me from America. I happened to meet her yesterday in the pediatrics ward, so I took the chance and gave them back to her."

"Thank you." Lisa said.

"You're welcome!"

"But our relationship's now a little awkward, so if there's anything else you think of in the future, you don't need to bother sending it back." Lisa said with a smile.

Minnie's expression stiffened when she heard this, looking at Lisa incredulously.

Jisoo was also surprised by Lisa's attitude. This gentleman rarely spoke to women so directly, let alone towards Minnie.

"How can I do that? Those lipsticks were expensive." Minnie said.

"It doesn't matter, it's not like my salary's low, I can comfortably shower Jennie with gifts." After Lisa said this, he stood up, "I'm done eating, so I'll go ahead first."

Without waiting for a reply, Lisa walked out of the canteen.

Jisoo glanced towards Minnie, only to find her looking sullen, the chopsticks on her hand broken.

"I'm done too. You take your time and eat slowly." Jisoo resolutely escaped, leaving Minnie to smack her broken chopsticks down in the table.

Jisoo managed to catch up to Lisa and was shocked as he asked: "What happened yesterday?"

Lisa pushed their office door open and replied: "Try to gossip less."

"No, no, you have to tell me, that seriously scared me. You actually didn't give someone face and it's Minnie, and more importantly, you did it in front of me." Jisoo said.
