Part 2

After a successful surgery, you were walking down the corridor with Lauren by your side.

"We make a good team." She spoke up and you nodded in agreement.

"We sure do Laur."

Just as the pair of you walked back to the trauma unit, your bosses voice could be heard.

"Doctor y/l/n, there you are, please could I have a minute of your time?" She asked, grabbing your attention.

You immediately nodded, but looked to Lauren with a confused expression. She gave you a reassuring smile.

You nodded before setting off to follow the superior doctor. Lauren was still confused, but headed to your shared office, watching as you left the ward.

"Okay, so I have a proposition for you." Your superior spoke up as she sat behind her desk.

Doctor Naylor was known as the ice queen of the hospital, no one messed with her, so you nodded in silence.

"Don't be afraid Doctor y/l/n, i'm not going to bite." She joked, almost giggling, so you slightly relaxed.

"What can I do for you Doctor Naylor?"

"Okay, so there's a job opportunity and I think you would be a perfect candidate to represent the hospital." She explained, and you nodded in understanding. "It's for a research position in a high standard hospital in California."

Hearing the last part of her sentence, your eyes widened, "In California? Wow."

The redhead nodded, "You don't have to give me a definite answer right away, just think about it Doctor y/l/n."

"Okay, thank you."

After leaving your bosses office, you headed back to the trauma unit and made your way through the ward. Lauren was speaking to one of her patients, but lifted her head as soon as she heard you say hello to one of the nurses.

She quickly finished her sentence, then told the patient she would be back later to give him his medication. The brunette put her file down on the assessment desk, then rushed to your side.

"What did Naylor want?" She asked, walking along the ward with you.

"She offered me a job opportunity Lauren...a chance to do a research project...it would mean travelling to the states for a year, California." You explained, trying to keep your voice as quiet as possible. You didn't want the nurses to be gossiping about you.

"Oh." Was all that she said, and her sad tone didn't go unnoticed.

Just as you were about to explain further, the doors flew open again and another two medics could be heard.

"Trauma incoming!"

"We'll talk later Laur." You said, then quickly rushed to the attention of the paramedics.

Just as you were returning back from the operating theater, you felt a warm hand on your shoulder. You turned around to see Lauren, and you gave her a soft smile.
