Yours Truly

Chapter 7

Mia sighed as she removed her mask while walking down the hall. "Dr. Gillyard?" She looked up shocked to see Corey and Raven getting up from chairs to face her.

"Mr. Ravenstahl, Mr. Henshaw," She said confused, "what?" She cleared her throat, "How may I help you two, Sirs?"

"Here," Raven said holding out the bag, "eat," he cleared his throat, "please eat."

"Come this way," she smiled softly and waved her hand to a door, "my office is in here."

"Dr. Gillyard!" A nurse shouted as Mia unlocked the door. "Dr. Gillyard!"

"Yes, Nurse Joyce," She huffed in annoyance as she turned to face the blonde nurse in tight scrubs. "How can I help you?"

"Oh wow," She gasped as she laid her eyes on Raven and Corey.

"Nurse Joyce," Mia glared as she crossed her arms.

"Oh yes," She giggled and Mia shifted her weight while forcing back rolling her eyes. "You need to fill these out and give them to Dr. Matteo asap, he demanded."

"Of course he did," she mumbled as she held out her hand but Nurse Joyce was too busy staring at Raven and Corey. "Nurse Joyce, the paperwork?"

"Oh yes," She blushed then paled as Raven glared and cracked his knuckles.

"Don't do that, it's bad for your hands," Mia said without thinking as she took the file from the nurse. "Don't you have some cleaning to do, Nurse?"

"Yes," She whispered as she rushed out of the office.

"I'm so sorry," She shook her head, "it just slipped out."

"Fine," Raven shrugged. "Corey says all the time."

"I take it you don't like her or that doctor?" Corey asked as she sat down behind the desk and sighed heavily. "You seemed kind of agitated."

"She needs to focus on medicine and healing instead of flirting," she mumbled as she opened the file and rolled her eyes, "and he needs to learn no means no."

"What do you mean?" Raven asked trying to remain calm.

Mia tensed as she realized what she just said, "Sorry, I shouldn't have said anything, it was very unprofessional. So uhm, anyway," she bit her lip nervously, "May I inquire your presence here?"

"Owen asked if we would stay until you got the chance to eat if we weren't busy," Corey explained. "He also wanted us to drive you home if you were too tired."

"Say you forget eat if too busy," Raven nodded. "No like that."

"Well, it's the life of a doctor," she shrugged as she flipped through the papers. She froze as she looked at a paper, "Excuse me for a moment." She stood, slipped her white coat back on and left the office. Raven and Corey looked at one another then followed her out.

"Who that?" Raven growled as they watched approach another doctor, who had a smirk on his face. "I no like him."

"Me either," Corey whispered, "I wonder if Owen knows who he is."

"I need to speak to you, Dr. Matteo," Mia glared as she held up the papers in her hand.

"Of course, Dr. Gillyard," He beamed brightly as he put his hand around her waist, "this way."

Mia stepped out of his grasp and shook her head, "I'm not signing these."

"Why not?" He frowned. "It would be good for you if you did."

"You're trying to take credit for leading those surgeries and you weren't, I was," She glared. "I'm not giving you credit for my work."

"Be reasonable and think about it," He glared, "Doctor." He took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "You know as well as I do that men rise before the women. I can bring you with me if you just sign those papers. It's just benefiting both of us."

"No it's not," She shook her head, "It's benefiting you and taking away my hard work. You also put in this file that we have a relationship and it won't affect our work. I have told you over and over that I will never date you. I don't date coworkers and never will. Quit spreading rumors about me or I will go above your head and report you yet again."

"You and I both know it will do you no good," He smirked. "Nothing happened the last two time and nothing will happen if you do it again beside cause you to have the reputation of being a snitch and hostile coworker."

"Better yet how about you leave my hospital now."

Dr. Matteo tensed and Mia, Raven, and Corey turned to see Sean and Owen standing there with anger on their faces. "Dr. Green?" Mia asked confused when Raven and Corey started smirking.

"How do you know Dr. Green?" Dr. Matteo asked. "Sir, it's just a minor misunderstanding."

"I heard everything," Sean glared, "Dr. Gillyard, may I please see the papers you are holding?"

"Yes Sir," She whispered as she rushed over to him and held them out.

"Thank you," He said a little too calmly for her liking. "Do you have an office here, Doctor?"

"Yes Sir," She nodded.

"Please go to your office and take a few breaths," he said looking at the papers, "I'll speak with you after I have a word with Dr. Matteo."

"Yes Sir," She whispered and rushed passed them to her office.

By the time Owen, Raven, and Corey reached her office they saw a nurse rush out of her office with her running after and two other nurses joining them. "Well, damn," Corey sighed and shook his head.

Three hours later she came back to her office and jumped when she saw Owen, Sean, Raven, and Corey sitting there waiting. "Um hello."

"Come on, Darling, time to go home," Owen said standing. "You have yet to eat and have had a really hard day."

"What did you mean your hospital?" She asked looking at Sean.

"I own the hospital," Sean explained. "It's mine."

"Oh wow," She whispered. "I'm sorry Owen but I really need to be alone. I just want to go home and be alone right now."

"Very well," Owen nodded, "I'll take you to get some food then take you home, but you have to promise—"

"I'll eat and if I need anything I'll call you," she nodded, "I promise."

He nodded, "Fine."
