Thomas-Sloan Memorial Hospital

Elena's POV

"So then I said, 'Well maybe if you weren't so corny, I wouldn't have to be here in the first place?" Ethan said as the both of us were talking to the Head of Department of Human Safety.

"Oh, the Irony of most Americans, right?" Dr. Hudson said as he patted Ethan on the shoulder.

"Well, some of them turn out to be quite kind.." Turning their eyes to me.

"Dr. Shepherd, I'm excited to hear about your clinical trial soon?"

"I am too, I'm hoping I'll find an Ill person to get my inspiration on.." I joke.

"Oh, Dr. Shepherd, you are quite witty aren't you?"

"I try not to be, Dr. Hudson.."

"Are you still concentration on Neuro?" He asked me.

"Yes, I am. I actually share my position with my older brother.."

"Derek Shepherd! Right, of course. I heard a lot of stories about you two.."

"I hope they are good.."

Resting his hand on my shoulder, the wrinkles on his face became more defined.

"Amazing things! You two are going places in the Medical field.."

"Thank you, sir. We appreciate it."

Whispering something to Ethan, I turn my head and glance at the guest behind him.

"I will be right back, I have to go and pay a visit to the donation booth." Dr. Hudson said as he raised his glass to Ethan and me.

"That was quick? What did he say to you?" I asked.

Placing his hand on my back, he guides me to another place in the room.

"He was very convinced about his donation, that's all I can tell you.."

Looking at the people ahead of me, Jackson was laughing with a group of woman around him.

"I'm grateful that Dr. Sloan was my teacher...I couldn't do this without his knowledge..." He said as all the woman beside him swoon.

"Quite the catch isn't he?" Ethan whispered. 

Looking over his shoulder, Jackson glares at Ethan without being noticed by the women.

"Hey, Elena!" Callie yells.

Making her way towards me, Ethan compliments her on the dress she bought today.

"Oh, well thank you." She says.

"You're very welcome.."

"Do you mind If I take her from you? It won't be for so long?"

"Of course.." Kissing the sides of my cheeks, his hand disappears from my back.

"So...how was it?"

"How was what?"

"Ethan...and his English charm?"

"Callie, you're forgetting that I've known him for a long time."

"Yeah, but he's been holding you like you're his girlfriend or something? Has he mention anything?"

Taking a seat on one of the bar stools, I order us some drinks.

"He wants to take me to dinner? Does that count?"

"Oh, where?!"

"At some Chinese place near the pier.."

"When? What time?"
