TO BE YOURS AGAIN

chapter 2 : Showing Up

On the next day, at the president's office of the Faust Group, Vincent Duncan hung up the phone. He turned to look at the man sitting behind the desk, who was preoccupied with work.

" Mr. Alec, I received a call from home informing us that the divorce decree has been issued."

The words did nothing to stop Alec's hand from busying themselves with work

"Okay. How much money did she want?"

"Warren said that she didn't ask for a single penny."

Jenny wants no penny😂... Leonard is relieved... Sorry back to story

Hearing that, Alec frowned immediately.

"Not even a single penny?"

"Yes, Warren told me that old Mr Faust wanted to pay her asum of money, but she refused it."

Even Vincent , who was Alec's assistant, was surprised by the turn of events. After all, according to his sources, Jenny was from the countryside and was very likely from a poor family. Why did she ask for nothing?

Alec stopped paging through the documents as he pondered for a moment. Finally, he said, " find out where she is and give her the house in chamford."

His ex wife had been quite for the past 2 years and never causes him any trouble. In addition, the divorce was completed smoothly, so there was no reason for him to treat her harshly.

Vincent nodded in acknowledgement of his instructions. However, he did not leave the room.

" Anything else?" asked Alec with a deep frown when he saw him standing there.

"Yes," replied Vincent. Under the intense gaze of the Faust Group president, cold sweat broke across his skin. Hurriedly, he continued "I just received the news that Dr Walter has finally reappeared after disappearing 2 years ago."

Vincent noticed a change in Alec's expression.

"When did this happen?"

"Ok was notified this morning."

" Get someone to investigate this matter immediately. Make sure you find Dr Walter at all cost. Dead or alive!"

Vincent replied, " sure, Mr Alec."

Early in the morning, everyone in the Parrington hospital was engaged ina deep discussion.

"Who do you think  the new deputy director of the neurosurgery department will be? Do you think it's a man or a woman? Do you think they will be easy to get along with?"

" Who knows? Given the fact that they landed aucha high position, they are either an expert in their field or..." answered a female staff member, giggling. It was clear what she implied.

"I heard that they're very young. I think they got the position through their connections."

" I think so too." agreed the rest.

After all, working in the medical industry was no different than working in other sectors — experience was the key to promotion. Since many of the staff at the Parrington hospital could not assume the role of deputy director despite working there for decades, the newly elected deputy director was the newest subject of their gossip.

Amidst their discussion, a nurse ran over to them.

"The deputy director is here! She's really beautiful!" said the nurse.

Surprised to hear that, the crowd flowed to the department of neurosurgery, hoping to witness the divine beauty of the department's new deputy director.

Under their curious gazes, Jenny exited the director's office and walked into the deputy director's office, which was exclusively dedicated to her. After closing the door, she sat at the desk and begin working without taking a break.

She never wanted to remain in Parrington. After all, she used to work abroad; hence, going abroad was the best option given her reputation and background. However, Parrington hospital obtained her contact information and called her in hopes that she would stay.

Appealing for her to join them through reason and emotion, they had described the embarrassing state of neurosurgery department in Parrington hospital to her. They told her that many people could be saved if she stayed, and their words caused her to waver in her decision. In addition, her brothers had openly expressed thier hopes for her to stay. In the end, she relented.

" Wow, she's so young! Is she even 30 years old?" exclaimed someone in surprise and disbelief.

" 30 years old? I heard she is only 26 years old."

" Impossible"

None of them could believe it.

"How is it possible?" retorted Morgan Golding. "Don't be fooled by her young looks. According to my sources, she graduated with a PH.D . Haven't you heard of Dr. Walter.

They looked at her in confusion, and Morgan couldn't believe their ignorance.

" Dr. Walter? Is she a force to be reckoned with? " They wondered.

Rolling her eyes l, Morgan said, " Search it on the Internet, you ignorant bunch"

With that, she trotted toward Jenny's office and rapped the door till she received the permission to enter.

"Hello, Dr.walter, I'm Morgan Golding, an intern here. The hospital has appointed me as your temporary assistant to execute any task you have for me. If you need anything, just let me know!" Explained Morgan with a smile, her eyes shining with admiration.

Jenny was her idol. Rumour has it that she was a profoundly gifted student who skipped multiple grades. She was only 22 when she completed her Ph.D. —a genius amongst geniuses. It was the dream of many aspiring doctors to work alongside such a legend, even if it was just for executing menial task.

Oblivious to whatever was going in her head , Jenny said, "well, hello. Thank you for your hard work."

"Oh, no problem!" Morgan shook her head, although she was throughly enjoying it.

"Okay please sort out the neurosurgery medical records in the last ten years of this hospital and bring them to me.." instructed Jenny. Before, Morgan could respond, she continued, "also bring me the information of the neurosurgery patients currently on the surgery waitlist."

Since she was new to the hospital she was not familiar with the hospital and it's patients; hence, she needed to familiarise herself as soon as possible.

Any problem with that. Asked Jenny , stopping in the middle of her work to look at Morgan.

Morgan immediately grew tense. Even though Jenny appeared very docile and gentle, she carried herself with an imposing , powerful aura.

No problem, I promise I'll complete and deliver the task! She nodded immediately.

Jenny nodded too. Without another word, she returned to her work. Meanwhile Morgan headed to organize the information Jenny had requested.

Jenny spent the entire morning studying the medical records in the office, and Morgan even brought her lunch because she worried about Jenny. She held the medical records in one hand and her food in other. So engrossed in her work that she completely forgot all about Morgan, who was still standing in the office

" Dr. Walter, have you....have you always been like this?" Morgan couldn't help but ask.

Hearing that, Jenny glanced at her, " What do you mean?"

Have you always been .... Morgan paused before continuing, so busy that you skipped your meals?

I guess.... She shrugged indifferently as if it didn't really bother her.

"You can't do this, your body—"

Before she could finish her sentence, they were interrupted by the siren of an ambulance.
