The God And His Bride - Episode 3

 

Present.

It hadn't been a good night.

It was awful, first of all I didn't get a man, the man, Secondly Liang got in a fight with a drunk fool who thought he could touch Mila's boobs just because he is a man, so I had to leave from there, the man had been in the rest room. 

I had to literally separate my brother from the idiot before Liang pummelled him to within an inch of his life. 

I yawn as I walk towards my office, the new head of ward is coming in today, it won't do well for me to smell like yesterday's alcohol and for me to look like road kill. 

Although I am in minor pain that I didn't get the position as the head of ward I am consoled that at least I became the Head surgeon. 

Being a young female surgeon in this field of work does not really command the respect you deserve. 

I pat my face as I pass some of my juniors, they bow deeply but I don't acknowledge, it's fine if they call me the grim reaper in this hospital, I get my respect any way I can. 

I step into my office, immediately stripping off my coat, I grab the carafe of coffee that's on my desk and I take a sip as I begin to go through the patients file on my desk.. 

The door to my office comes open and my head swings up from the files to glare at the idiot who didn't bother knocking. 

"Who might you be?" I ask and he nods at me, doing a three sixty in my office. 

I scoff, you are kidding me, is this what I have to face now? This blatant show of disrespect? 

Is it such a crime to be the youngest surgeon in this hospital filled with male buffoons? 

Although I have a reputation of being rude and shrewd I try to be respectful when I can be. 

" Who in bleeding hell are you?" 

"You must be Star Marx" 

"You must be deaf" I say, crossing my leg and drumming my fingers on my desk. 

"No not deaf, that would be a weird name to bear, I am Jeter Willis, the new head of ward" He says, finishing with a flourish,he finally turns to face me and I see its pretty man. 

Shit. 

There goes my go dream of returning to the pub to find him. 

Is this the part where I bounce up from my seat and start apologizing profusely? Hell no. 

I uncross my leg. 

"Since when did the new head of ward make a personal call to a measly woman like me?" 

"You should know that you are not measly, far  from it." 

He says, before sitting his ass on my chair and crossing his leg to watch me. 

"Did you know who I was last night?" I ask. 

"No, I just found out you are the grim reaper this morning" He says, leaning back to watch me. 

Why is he watching me? 

I wait for him to say something. 

"You left last night" He says and I shake my head. 

"I..." I start but he cuts me short. 

"I'd really thought we had hit it off, imagine my surprise when I get out of the rest room to notice you gone" 

"It couldn't be helped" I say and he leans forward, obviously waiting for an explanation. 

I dont give any, I have none. 

"Is that all?" He asks in disbelief. 

"Should there be more?" 

"Wow, I get why you scare everyone in this hospital, we connected last night, shouldn't you at least give me an explanation why you bailed yesterday, I thought we were gonna make plans on meeting?" 

"You came to all of those conclusions by yourself Mr. Jeter" I say, wait, km sure you are probably wondering what the hell is wrong with me. 

I don't know either, shouldn't I be crazily flirting with this guy so that he will ask me out on a date? 

He nods his head and stands from the chair and nods. 

"I understand your stand on this matter Miss Marx, I'm going to apologize for being unprofessional, be rest assured that it's going to be strictly professional from here on out" He says and I stand. 

Why? 

Why? 

Why do I always ruin my relationship? 

"Mr

. Jeter..." 

"Please, Jeter will do, I hope you will try not to cross paths with me again, be rest assured that I will be doing so" He says exiting the room. 

Well, this will be a bother. 

How in hell do I work with my boss in the same ward without seeing him? 

He's my boss and I report directly to him. 

I grab my phone. 

"Speak to me" 

Mila's voice purrs into the phone and I glance at my watch. 

It's just past 9 in the morning. 

"How are you this active this morning? You were mad drunk last night and what the hell are you up to?" 

"Well, I detoxed, and then I got dressed and I went out, I'm currently in the lobby of The Swan with my new flavor of the month" She says and my eyebrows fly up. 

"Where did you meet this guy and what does he do to be able to afford breakfast at The Swan?" 

"We met this morning while I was jogging and he's a corporate banker, he's in love with me" 

She says, and a app

"Yes, and he plans on making you fall in love with him" I assume that's our banker. 

"Ohh, he has a hot voice" I say and she giggles, giggles! Mila does not giggle.

Before I can point out this faux pas she speaks. 

"Why did you call me?" 

She asks and I heave a sigh. 

"Mr pretty wow wow is my new head of ward" 

She pauses before snorting what seems to be a liquid snort. 

"You just made me swallow champagne with my lungs" 

Champagne? This early? 

"First of all, pretty wow wow is not a name to give to that guy, he's hotter than that, Secondly only you can this type of thing happen to, thirdly, I'm sure you ruined it, fourthly, we need another night out, asap, without Liang this time" 

"How do I handle the situation over here, uh? And what makes you think I ruined it?" 

"Because, Star, I've been your friend since for ever and I know how your mind works, just chill, no need to fret" She says, although her words don't put things in perspective it just kind of makes me feel a little calm. 

"You better have a good game plan" I say and she chuckles. 

"Don't I always?"
