Francheska's POV
I drive all the way back to the hospital where I'm working at after receiving a call about an unexpected meeting that I'm included. As I arrived, I went straight to my office and rummage for my white coat, then a sudden knock I heard from my door.
"Ms. Rose, your presence is needed at the conference room" a secretary came in and informed me
"I'll be there in a moment" I answer then she closes the door and left
I found coat inside my locker so I hurried to wear them and left my office immediately. I run towards the conference room, which is on the second floor, so I rushed into the elevator and went down. After, I run towards the hallway then finally found the door at the conference room, before I get in I took a peek at the window on the door to see who's around and take a look for my reflection for a while and tuck my excess hair behind my ears and knocked the door before opening.
"Hello” I greet them with a smile, I cringe after seeing them all eyes on me, I bit my lips and smile nervously
"This is a restricted area dear, staffs are only allowed" A man in a black tailored suit with glasses says while standing on the center platform
I squint and smiled in fake after felt insulted for what he said "I'm actually a Cardiothoracic surgeon sir" As I showed him the name stick on my coat
"Ahh, you're late in this meeting. We started like an hour ago" He replied
"Uhm...Excuse me sir" my manager, Mr. Dharylle Ramiro or shall I say Mr. Ramiro stood up and run into me. He holds both side of my shoulder while facing the man in suit
"This is Rose by the way, the youngest cardiac surgeon in this hospital. I called her for an urgent after what you said earlier, about the surgery next week" He explained then I elbowed his stomach then I whisper
"I thought I'm having a break next week" I mutter
"You will, but after the surgery" He replied
“I see… how about a seat to continue our meeting” the man in suit said
I walk towards our seat and notice that there are doctors and surgeons unfamiliar to me. Its like they’re not from here.
“So doctors and surgeons. Doctor Francis, the director of the hospital asked me to look for the preeminent teams in his hospital. Just like I said earlier, one of the ambassadors at New York, needed an Aortic Valve surgery next month. May I know who the members of the main hospital surgeons are?” He asked
Doctor Ramiro stood up and walk towards the center platform holding a piece of script. “These are my chosen members for the surgery next week, Doctor Diaz, who’ll perform the surgical procedures” I stood up as he called and walk towards the platform and smiled at the people around the room. They are all eyes at me and clap their hands which makes me a bit nervous for being the center of the crowd.
“Doctor Kim, she will be the anesthesiologist, Doctor Cooper, he will be the surgeon’s assistant and Doctor Amy will be the circulating nurse while Doctor Khan will be the surgical technologist” He sated all the names as we line in front and everybody claps their hands
“These is my team for the surgery Doctor Wan” My manager bowed with a big smile on his face. He walks beside me, so I lean forward and ask him
“Who are those doctors?” I ask as I secretly pointed to the doctors that I saw earlier
“They are the doctors from the other branch of this hospital, some of them will be your opponent” He whispers back
An old man with the doctor’s coat who looks like forgotten to shave this morning stood up and walked in front of the platform. I notice that these are the team that performs the surgery of my ex-boyfriend’s brother, I pursed my lips and pretend to be acting alright. After the team from the other side is being called, they stand on the right side of the platform with their head held high. I don’t like the way they’re surgeon smiles because, she looks like boastful and mean after seeing her eyebrows so flicked away. I chuckle in a sudden then Doctor Kim notices me.
“What’s wrong Rose?” She asks
“Nothing” I replied as I look on the other way
After that meeting my team and I walk towards my office to give them advice like I always do before the surgery, but them Doctor Irene, the flicked eyebrow girl and her team greeted us in a sudden.
“So you’re Doctor Diaz, nice to meet you” She smiled but I raised my right eyebrow since I notice she’s like faking
“Yes I am” I response
“How long have you been working here?” She asks while crossing her arms
“2 years actually” I tried to smile and act kind towards her
“It seems I have a lot of experience than you since I’ve been working at the other branch for 4 years and my team as well” She boast but still acting to be kind but obviously not
“no one’s asking” I mumble
“What did you say?” she asks rudely
“I said that’s amazing” I slowly chuckle
“You shouldn’t pick someone like us senior doctors you know. We had a lot of experience than you and I can make sure that we will be chosen to fly to New York” She intimated me
“Yeah sure” I just agreed and smiled
“That 2 years of your experience will be nothing, believe me” She added
I tuck my hair behind my ears and look at her calmly “Hold that thought. Is your 4 years’ experience of being a cardiac surgeon was noticed and got into a medical tour in New Zealand and successfully perform a surgery from one of their famous ministers?” I ask kindly
She didn’t give me response, so I shake my head and ask “no?”
“How about being transferred in the main hospital for just a year after they notice my talent of being a successful surgeon?” I added a question, but she still hasn’t given me a response, so I shake my head again and ask, ‘not as well?”
I placed my palm on my chest and smiled “I just wanted to share that those are my experiences during my 2 years of being a cardiac surgeon while you haven’t experience that during your 4 years. Nice to meet you” I bowed and pass through her then my team and I walk towards my office
