chapter sixty ━ new management
( season nine, episode seventeen )❝I want to know who the hell sent
my kidney flying coach to Seattle
when I sent two surgeons to pick
it up.❞"ELLIE AND JACKSON Avery really have a bigger say in running this hospital than any of us?" Arizona asked the group.
Cristina shook her head. "That can't be true. Can it?"
Ellie was sorting through the large pile of paperwork in front of her, briefly glancing up at the rest of the room who were still angrily chittering about Jackson's addition to the board. Something he had complained to her about the previous night.
Derek shrugged. "Well, he's a voting member of the management team and he and Ellie also represent the Harper Avery Foundation."
"And their one hundred-seventy-five million bucks," Meredith added from the seat beside her husband.
Arizona sighed while Ellie tilted her head; had she become invisible? "As opposed to our fifteen million apiece. Well—and Ellie's forty million."
"According to Stan, not only do they have the deciding vote but they can veto ours," Derek said and Ellie looked around.
It seemed as though they had all forgotten that they were complaining about her while sitting next to her.
Cristina stared back at Derek. "This is ridiculous. He's a fellow."
"So are you," Ellie reminded her and the group jumped at her voice. "Oh, did you forget that I was here? If you want to complain about people, you may want to ensure they're not within your earshot. Just a thought..."
"But he's a plastics fellow," Cristina argued making Ellie roll her eyes. "And I'm me."
"You need a new argument," she countered. "It's getting old."
"Let's not overreact," Meredith interjected, preventing either of them from continuing. "I mean, it's Ellie and Jackson, they aren't some corporate strangers. And, besides, this was all Ellie's idea."
Derek nodded. "And Jackson's a smart kid," he added. "He's gonna follow our lead."
"Well, actually—"
"Let's get on with this," Arizona interrupted Ellie who let out a small breath. "So we're all agreed that the peds and adults ERs will be combined to save on personnel?"
Ellie raised her hand. "Well—"
She was once again interrupted when the group all nodded in agreement. She looked behind her when she heard the door open and Jackson walked inside with a box of donuts in his hand. She smiled softly; that's what Mark had done when he was chief.
"I'm sorry, guys," he said, dropping his own stack of files on the table beside Ellie. "I was running on time and then my last rounds' patient turned into a crier."
