Chloe Beale is head of cardiac surgery at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital. She is one of the best and most requested surgeons in Seattle.
She worked hard for that dream to come true.
One day a girl with massive injuries is brought into the ER. Someho...
When I woke up I rubbed my eyes and yawned loudly. I checked my phone. No notifications. It was 9:45am and the sun was shining brightly through the big window.
I put on some clothes and went down to the restaurant of the hotel in order to get some breakfast. After that I went up again and took a shower.
"What do I wear to that job interview?", I murmured to myself and rummaged through my suitcase. I found a neat dress and some pants with a top and a blazer. I tried both outfits and checked myself in the mirror. The decision was quite hard because I really wanted to make a good impression. After an hour of changing outfits I decided to go with the dress. I put up my hair in a loose ponytail and put on some make up. I felt myself becoming more nervous every minute. To be honest I really wanted to have that job.
At 1:30pm I left the hotel and made my way to Lenox Hill Hospital.
The building was huge. "Wow", it left my mouth when I stepped through the door, "Everything just looks so...fascinating." I saw doctors running through the halls and nurses talking on their phones. It looked like a mess but at the same time perfectly organized.
I walked up to the information desk and introduced myself: "Good afternoon, I'm Doctor Chloe Beale. I'm from Seattle and I'm here for a job interview with Doctor Kate Summer."
"She'll be down in 2 minutes. Take a seat", the nurse told me and pointed to one of the free chairs behind me.
"Thanks"
I sat down nervously and felt myself starting to bite my lips because that's what I always did when I was nervous. I couldn't keep my feet still and my hands were trembling.
Suddenly I saw a woman. She was breathtakenly beautiful and the stethoscope around her neck made her even more attractive. She was coming right towards me. "Oh no", I thought.

"Hi, you must be Doctor Beale. I'm Doctor Summer. I'm head of general surgery. Nice meeting you", the female doctor mentioned and shook my hand.
"Hey, yes that's me and it's nice meeting you too, Doctor Summer", I replied and giggled awkwardly.
"Why don't we go up to my office", she suggested and put on a big smile. I nodded and followed her.
When we entered the office she offered me to take a seat and sat down at the other side of the huge table that was placed in the middle of the room.
"So...welcome to New York. This hospital is one of the biggest and best ones in the whole city. Working here is a blessing. What led you to applying to exactly this hospital?", the woman wanted to know and clicked open a pen in order to right some things down.
"Well...first of all thank you for inviting me. I was searching through the internet looking for a new job and I found this hospital. I read through the whole website and I was impressed. It was exactly what I imagined the perfect hospital to be like. I had the feeling I'd fit in here. Furthermore I'm a qualified cardiac surgeon and I was the one of the best ones in Seattle", I explained confidently and took a sip of water from the glass that was standing in front of me.
"Why did you quit your old job in Seattle?", she asked and raised one of her eyebrows.
I knew this question would come. I didn't know whether to tell the truth or not. Should I tell her that I had been fired? Or should I tell her something else?
"To be honest...they fired me", I admitted and looked up waiting for a reaction. The doctor was looking at me with big eyes.
"Why did they fire you?", she wondered, quite surprised.
I told her the whole story and I could tell she was shocked but I couldn't tell if she was shocked in a good or in a bad way. I didn't know if she was about to judge me for what I have done or if she was about to be impressed by it.
"That was pretty wrong and damn dangerous. I get why they fired you but it sounds really impressive, Doctor Beale", the woman answered and made a friendly face.
I was more than relieved.
After some more questions the interview was done and I took a deep breath.
"Thank you. That should do. I'll let you know about the results", the lady finished the conversation.
"Alright", I added and reached out my hand. The doctor shook it again and this time she looked into my eyes, deeply. We kept eye contact for several seconds until I turned my face away.
