Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

Wasn’t he fine when they were quarreling a while ago?

Oh wait, that was a few hours ago.

“I…”

“Not another word and go apologize to Euan George right now. I won’t have your back if he decides to threaten your career.”

Apo…apologize?!

“Director…”

“Go apologize or get lost. Your call!”

Clack!

The phone was hung up.

Riley bit her lip. When was this mess going to end? No place was ever at peace with Euan’s presence.

Aware of the situation, the nurses made way for Riley to Euan’s ward.

The whole room heard what the director said in the end of the phone call, so they didn’t dare to trigger her at this moment. Everyone tried to crack a smile at her.

“Dr. Watson, be careful when you go later…”

“Dr. Watson, don’t you worry about us. We…”

Pacing back and forth in the corridor with a heavy heart, Riley’s face was dead grim. She would rather quit than to apologize to him.

But on a second thought…

Her marriage with Euan was like a broken raft in thunderstorm, which might sink at any moment. She would lose both her career and marriage if she really quitted.

And that would be so embarrassing!

After contemplating, she decided she couldn’t quit.

Riley made up her mind and open to door to the ward…

Euan was leaning on the bed, flipping a file his secretary had sent him. His thick brows were raised slightly as he read it, and he seemed to have gotten much better now.

“…”

He didn’t seem like he was having a high fever at all!

Euan didn’t cast a single gaze at Riley since she walked into the room.

Fully aware he was ignoring her, Riley had no choice but to be the first one to break the silence. “I heard you got a fever.”

She didn’t bother to try to be courteous even though she was the one at fault here. She talked to him in a calm and official tone.

Back then, she was always cautious with her words, but ended up getting his ridicule every single time. Now she was lazy to do that anymore.

Euan didn’t look up at her but continue to fix his eyes at the contract papers he was flipping with his slender fingers. He said blandly, “Shouldn’t my attending doctor know of my medical condition?”

Mocking inadvertently, he emphasized the words “attending doctor” slightly.

She didn’t let it got to her. She had learned Euan would always find wrong in whatever she did.

Feeling her heart beating faster, Riley’s gaze involuntarily fell on Euan’s face. As if it was a curse, she had been thinking about his exquisite features every night before she fell asleep.

“It seems you’re already doing quite well. I’ll stop bothering you then.”

Riley reminded herself, she wanted to leave the encounter with pride and her self esteem intact.
