Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

While Riley was staring at her, a cold and indifferent female voice came slowly from across the table. Riley raised her head to see who it was. Then she saw a tall and slender woman who was wearing a doctor’s gown standing at one side of the table. She had a clean Sassoon Bob which reached her ears. Her hair ends were waved. The hair beside her cheeks were slightly curled inwards. Because of the hair style, the woman’s face, which was already delicate, appeared more elegant.

The woman had a light makeup. Her eyelashes were brushed carefully, which were distinct and clear. She was wearing rosy red lipstick. When she opened her mouth, it looked like a flower opening. She was a capable and sexy woman.

The calmness between her eyebrows made her look like an ever-victorious general who had gone through countless battles.

Inside the doctor’s gown was a light-purple shirt. The top two buttons of the shirt were undone, and her skinny clavicalis were showed. The pair of black trousers wrapped the bottom of the light-purple shirt. She was wearing a pair of black high-heeled shoes, which supported her thin, long legs.

“I am sorry. I didn’t know it was your book.” Riley pushed the book across the table and put it before the woman. Then she moved her coffee cup nearer to her.

There wasn’t a name card on the woman’s gown, so Riley didn’t know who she was. Besides, as far as she knew, there had never been such a beautiful doctor in this hospital. If there was truly a gorgeous and stunning doctor such as this one in JD Central Hospital, it would be impossible for her to not know it.

The woman picked up the medical book, “You are the best doctor in department of cardiology Riley Watson?”

The woman had glanced at Riley’s name card before, but she wasn’t so sure. She couldn’t believe Riley Watson was so young and beautiful.

“I am Riley Watson, but I am afraid I am not the best doctor in department of cardiology.” They had only exchanged a few words, but Riley could feel that this woman was not easy to get along with or communicate with.

The woman said impatiently, “If you are, just say yes. If not, just say no. There is no need to fake modesty. If my memory is right, you need to treat an outpatient this afternoon. Shouldn’t you be preparing for it?”

Riley frowned. Who did she think she is, commanding and ordering her? Besides, it was still early now.

“I am sorry, but who are you?”

The woman was not nice to Riley, so Riley wouldn’t treat her kindly either. The woman acted like she pleased without considering the feelings of others. Did she consider herself Riley’s leader already?

The woman raised her mouth corner contemptuously. The she began leafing through the book. She did this to show her despise for Riley for not knowing who she was. The woman didn’t even reply to Riley.

Oh! So many people were holding their heads high nowadays! So it turned out that Lydia Saunders wasn’t the only one having this ability.

“Director Pouchain, you are here. I have looked everywhere for you!”

Before Riley could stand up, Director Patrick from department of cardiology began striding towards them. Director Patrick was talking to the woman in front of Riley who despised everyone.

Hearing this, Riley felt like her heart stopped beating for a moment. Didn’t they say the new vice director was a man? Riley had heard a lot about how excellent this man was. But it turned out it was a woman? Jeanne stood up and nodded her head, “Director Patrick.”

Seeing the two best doctors in department of cardiology were all here, Director Patrick smiled and said, “Riley, you are here too. That’s good. Have you made each other’s acquaintances? This is the backbone of our department of cardiology, Riley Watson and Dr. Watson too. And this is the new vice director of our department, the doctor of medicine from Harvard, Jeanne Pouchain and vice director too. You are both young and capable doctors. Haha!”

No matter how excellent Riley was at her job, her position was still lower than Jeanne’s. So she couldn’t speak first and only nodded her head as a greeting.

Jeanne closed the book and said in an unkind tone, “We have met. As for the “best doctor” part, we will see about it.”

To ease the tense, Director Patrick kept smiling. Director was about fifties and wore a pair of glasses with gold wire frames. His eyes were not big. When he smiled, his eyes were reduced to two narrow slits, which made him look funny.

In the afternoon, Riley just did her work as usual. She was kept busy for the whole afternoon. Before all her patients were attended to, it was already six o’clock.

After work, Riley was so tired. She went home. Because she had to write her essay, she didn’t have time to make a decent dinner. Therefore, she headed to the convenience store and bought a bag of instant dumplings. After she put the dumplings into the pot with boiling water, Riley leaned against the door frame and began reading.

The academic title of professor was a big deal. Only one or two places for the academic title of professor were allocated to a department. Besides, normally only experienced doctors who had went through enormous surgeries could get the application form. So it was a surprise to her that she got it too.
