CARINA

5: WHO'S SHE?

Mackenzie's POV

"A stressful weekend?"

"You can tell?" I asked Ava in disbelief

"Yes, it's written all over your face. What happened?" Ava is the intern supervisor in the department and she's super nice. She's being really helpful to me when I first came here. She was another reason I wanted to come back to work here after I graduated

"I lost my part time job, not completely because I can still go back once I do what the mean manager told me to do"

"And what is that" she pressed

"It's a long story and I don't want to share until I know what to do. It keeps messing with my head every time I talk or think about it" I rubbed my temples

"You'll work it out. I trust you" she encouraged

"Thank you, Ava" I hugged her and smiled

"Guess what, I have something to cheer you up" She said

"What is it?" I finally gave her a big smile

"I was able to convince the department chairman to allow some interns attend the meeting, you can't contribute anything but it's at least a chance for y'all to learn how the process works. So I chose you and a few others to join after seeing your determination" She smiled

"Really?!" I jumped and squeezed her in my arms
I've always wanted to join their meeting after I heard you get to have a little experience when you participate in them

"Yes really! But remember that you're not allowed to contribute" she warned

"Don't worry I have nothing to contribute even if I want to" I laughed

"Okay so the meeting commends in twenty minutes, I'll go inform your friends about this. I can imagine the happy looks on their faces" she hugged me one last time and left

Fifteen minutes later and we were seated, waiting for the chairman and other members to arrive. I heard it was a meeting between a potential investor. The hospital had been trying to find investors for months and they see this investor to be a reliable one. I also heard this said investor has a strong business network

I can't sit still in the conference chair, I have been so overwhelmed by being able to join the meeting.

Little things like this make me happy

I heard the large doors open behind me and in walked the chairman, some doctors, nurses and important staff. The next face I saw drained all the excitement that had been bubbling in me. I opened my mouth and eyes whilst staring at him

Flashes of Saturday night scene came rushing to me, I thought I had forgotten his looks but staring at him now proved to me that such face can't be forgotten easily.

Why is he so handsome

I mentally smacked my head and blinked a few times. Before he turned to look around the room, I looked away from him and stared at the plain page of the notebook on the desk

"Mr. Moretti, it's a pleasure to finally meet you again" the chairman stood and they both shared a handshake

So he's Mr. Moretti

Realization dawned on me that he may be the investor they talked about. What if he sees me and decides not to invest because of what happened last weekend. I'll be screwed if that happens and what if they all find out I'm the cause?

Everything would be okay as long as he doesn't look around the room. I just had to keep my head down until the meeting ends and presumably get his full name to apologize outside work
