Trapped with a Doctor

One of the nurses replied, "Fine. It's about work, but do they really need to discuss about work every day? Even at lunch time?" Angela just kept nodding.

It turned out Nita and Arvin worked together every day, even during meals!

While she thought of this, Angela immediately lost her appetite for lunch.

Seated opposite to Angela was Nancy. She held Angela's hand and comforted her. "What are you thinking about? They are talking bullshit. Just leave them alone!"

Angela shook her head. She knew what they said might be crap, but she still felt uncomfortable upon hearing it.

What's wrong with her?

Besides, Angela found something weird. When she went out of the restaurant and was on her way to VVIP inpatient department, she could hear people talking about Arvin everywhere. She heard some nurses who were seated at the pavilion saying, "You know what? Mr. Gu's birthday is coming in next week!"

"Wow. How do you know that?"

"A friend of my uncle's nephew knew Mr. Gu's uncle, and he told me about it!"

"Maybe we should give Mr. Gu something as the birthday gift."

"Come on, have you seen Mr. Gu receive gifts from any women? You see. Angela had to sneak into Mr. Gu's office to give him the shirts!"

Angela was lost for words.

She really wanted to ask them why she was always involved in any topic related to Arvin? How could she always get attacked verbally without doing anything wrong? Because she was eager to meet Arvin, Angela felt an extreme suffering during her working hours.

In an attempt to ease up her stress, Angela called Arvin immediately when she was off work, but the phone kept ringing for a long time. He didn't answer her call.

Someone else did.

"Hello. Mr. Gu is in a surgery right now. May I have a word for you?"

It was a woman who answered the call, and the voice sounded much like... Nita's.

Why would Nita pick up Arvin's phone call? And judging from what Nita had said, it seemed that Arvin had not saved her phone number at all.

In this case, things would be much easier. Anyway, Nita didn't know it was her, so Angela replied instantly. "Yes. I'm waiting for him to get off work, and I wonder when he would be available." This time, it was Nita who got silent. She glanced at the number saved with the name little girl and wondered who this little girl could be. Why would she wait for Arvin to get off work?

She put her left hand inside the pocket of the white coat and asked carefully, "Why are you waiting for him to get off work?"

"He promised that he would... go shopping with me!" Angela began to talk uncontrollably. After all, she thought that she couldn't tell her that Arvin promised to bring her home.

When she became sure it was Nita on the other line, Angela was suddenly trapped into a hostile mood.

Such hostility was triggered for no reason. Even Angela herself didn't notice its existence.

"Shopping?" Nita sounded a little suspicious about it. As far as she knew, Arvin was very busy everyday and she had never seen him go shopping ever. So, she couldn't help but doubt if the little girl was just bluffing.

"Yes, I asked him to take me to catch dolls!" Angela showed off deliberately.

Since she had asked Nancy to go ahead, she wandered in the hospital alone while she waited for Arvin. She strolled near a garden and found a bench to sit on. Not far away from her, a young couple were kissing each other.

As Angela was about to shift her focus from the couple, they stopped kissing, so she could clearly see the man facing towards her. It was Randal!

She frowned, thinking why would she have crossed paths with Randal again?

"Would Arv catch dolls?" Nita felt more confused. She could never picture Arvin catching dolls.

"Yes!"

Nita let out a laugh unexpectedly. "Come on, little girl. Are you kidding me? Arv would never go and catch some dolls. You know how busy he is? He has so many surgery appointments that he will not have any free time until the end of next year. Besides, he has to prepare for the director election and attend various work-related parties. How could he have time to hang out with you?"

Being a successful man, Arvin did deserve an outstanding woman like Nita to assist him with his work.

'He has so many surgery appointments that he will not be free until the end of next year? And he will run for the director position...'

It had never occurred to Angela that Arvin was so busy. However, when she thought about it further, she realized that her dad had also been returning home rarely because of his busy work, so did her brother. Angela and her mother would seldomly see them around at home.

Upon knowing that Arvin was very busy, Angela still didn't want to lose over her conversation with Nita. "No matter how busy he is, he still has to find a wife, doesn't he?"

Nita smirked and answered, "So, you mean Arv would make you his wife?"

Her contempt made Angela displeased. "Arv? Come on. Don't pretend you two are close. Who are you? Are you Arvin's wife or girlfriend? Don't you call him like this! Even if he wouldn't marry me, he would never..."

'Marry you.' Angela got stuck with the last two words when she thought of Teresa, Arvin's mother.

'Since Teresa likes Nita so much, is it possible that she may ask Arvin to marry Nita?'

Thinking of this, Angela didn't want to continue the conversation anymore. "Okay. Bye!"

'Would Teresa ask Arvin to marry Nita? If she did really arrange his son to marry Nita, will Arvin agree on that?' Angela pondered over the possibility of Arvin marrying Nita.

"Angela. What are you doing here? Are you peeping at us while we were kissing?" Here came the annoying voice from Randal.

Angela had a sneer on her face. She was just thinking about how to let off some steam and release her anger. It looked like Randal and Susie took the initiative to sacrifice themselves!

"Do I look like I've been peeping at you? You are such a self-absorbed man, Randal! You two are like a bad boy and a mistress. Well, I wish you an eternal love!" Angela stood up and was ready to leave with her backpack.

What she had said actually irritated Randal so much that he even got his tongue tied for a while. After a few seconds of silence, he finally said, "Angela! Don't be pushy!"

Angela looked back and glanced at the both of them. "Susie. Is it time for you to take an injection of hyaluronic acid? Though I doubt if Randal could afford beautifying your face with a regular dosage of hyaluronic acid!"

Before Susie could even respond, Angela told Randal, "If you can't afford providing for her, just tell me. Maybe I can give you a credit card or something? Consider it as charity so that you can afford the hyaluronic acid that your girlfriend can use for her face!"

What did she mean by giving him a card in charity? She was obviously treating him like a beggar!

The two people were so aggravated that they both showed an extremely irritated look. Randal would love to teach Angela a lesson by using his fist if only Angela had not learnt martial arts at all. "I warn you, Angela. Don't be pushy!"

"I am being pushy. So what?" Angela stood in front of Randal and Susie in an arrogant way while her arms are crossed and she shot them a smug look to make them dare not say a word anymore! Before Angela left, she put her backpack on her shoulder in an elegant manner and then she warned Randal, "Don't you ever bother me again, or I'll poison you and turn you into a mute!" Angela didn't brag about this for nothing. Maybe, she had inherited some gift from her father, Chuck. Angela was indeed talented at inventing formulas and preparing medicines. She was really efficient in those fields.
