In the office, my team and I had a short meeting about our upcoming surgery. I just figured out that it’s a big opportunity for them if we successfully made it to New York City, so I opened that up to them.
"Rose, this is going to be harder than we thought. We are competing against the seniors and how can we possibly beat them?" Doctor Kim asks worriedly
I looked at her badly as I got a little bit irritated for what she said "competing? Is that what you learn in here?" I ask rudely then she looked down in upset
"Guys, our goal is to make the patient survive. Why do we care about a competition when life is more important than that" I scolded them
"Rose is right Doctor Kim, I know it meant a lot for us but it is general rule, a patient's life is more important" Doctor Cooper agreed
"That's what surgeons are, Doctor Kim" I added, she nods her head for a response
“okay, you’re now dismissed” I ordered then they bowed before leaving my office
I move my desktop chair and took a turn for a while to release the stress I’ve been feeling, then suddenly someone knocked at the door, so I take a look to see who it was
“Good morning Doctor Diaz” Stella greeted as she came into my office
She sat on the chair right in front of my desk and looked at me with a big smile on her face. She rested her elbow on my desk and leans her chin on her palm.
“What’s with the face?” I ask
“You’re a bit bossy you know?” She mocks
“Get out from here” I scoff and turned on the other side
“anyway, I have something for you” She inserted while handing over a red rose on my table
“A rose? You are giving me a rose” I doubted and look at her in questionable
“No no no, its not from me but it’s from the guy” She smiled funny
“A guy?”
“Stop pretending, I saw you gave him a ride earlier” she smirks
“Oh. It’s from Ken” I grab the rose form my table and have a closer look.
Stella stood up and transferred into the seat close to my spot and gave me an interested look “When did you met him?” She asks curiously
“Yesterday at my place” I answered
“You just freaking met him yesterday and you gave him a ride” she looks at me furiously
“I don’t even know why, but my guts told me to trust him” I lean my back on my seat and look up
“You know that idiom doesn’t really work for doctors” She chuckles while tilting her head
“I don’t care” I chuckle while looking at her
My phone suddenly rings and when I take a look on it, there’s an unknown number calling me. I stood up and grab my phone and walk away from Stella before answering it.
“Hello?” I ask
-Uh…Hi
“Who’s this? And how did you get my number?” I rudely ask
-Uhm…this is Ken actually
I got surprised that it was Ken the one calling me, and I was a bit embarrassed after answering his call rudely “O my god, I’m sorry. I haven’t saved your number yet” I apologize
