111 End of Beauty in Black (1/2)

'Oxytocin!' She remembered her encounter with Dax and said with a pout, ”Oxytocin doesn't release every time.” 'You lied to me.'

The intern doctors were confused by her out of the box question, Naomi sneered at her openly thinking she doesn't know anything that grabbed Aarvi's wrong attention. Whereas Aaron seriously asked to solve it for her, ”Who did you hug? Dax?”

Aarvi's gaze went back to Aaron and hummed in confirmation. The latter again asked, ”How do you guys treat each other?”

Aarvi understood the difference without further explanation, ”We are friends, more like brother and sister whereas I am your...” her lips arced slyly to irritate Naomi, ”... Woman.”

The contemptuous smile on Naomi's face was replaced with an ugly frown. She already knows Aarvi and Aaron's relationship isn't doctor and patient yet she couldn't digest the fact yet.

”Aaron, we need to see patients.” Naomi cut in to divert Aaron's attention from the dumb girl. She hardly gets time with Aaron and she wanted to kick Aarvi aside for dropping in there.

Aarvi brows arced up beautifully, 'What's the hurry? I will feed you more vinegar.'

Aaron ignored Naomi without care, ”Tired?” He needs to ask about Craft family involvement. His team already started checking on it to connect that day with Billy Craft.

Aarvi shook her head and glanced at others' eyes on her so she tiptoed to reach Aaron's ear and whispered, ”Your drama queen has some more actions to do upstairs.” Then she stood back and spoke normally, ”I brought snacks, we will eat together, complete your work quickly.”

Aarvi saw his gentle gaze and was leaving by completely ignoring fuming Naomi but Aaron grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his arms, ”Don't forget.” He whispered.

Don't forget to hug!

It was their sweet little deal. She has to get him flowers and he will bake cupcakes for her. Similarly, the forehead kisses for her and hugs for him.

Aarvi breathed out slowly thinking she should get used to Aaron pulling her from behind. Wrapping her arm around his neck, she complained, ”Why do you want me to be alarmed?”

”Get adopted to it.” It wasn't for him but to train her nerves to be calm.

The interns heard them murmuring and whispered to themselves, ”I never thought I might witness Doctor Rivas in love.”

”I always thought Doctor Fisher is Doctor Rivas's girlfriend but she is just a bystander.”

”Why was she behaving as this hospital owner when she was just a doctor here?”

”Shh...” Another intern doctor silenced the two when Naomi gnashed her teeth diverting her fury towards the interns. ”What are you muttering about? Go and check the patient's record.”

Naomi was caught off guard by her words. Aaron too turned to Naomi leaving her out of sorts, ”I... Ms. Evans, you sure know to crack a joke.” She said it but failed to control her stiff face.

Aarvi didn't let her manage and stated seriously, ”I wasn't joking.”

Naomi: ”...”

Then Aaron asked in doubt without understanding why Naomi was following him for half an hour asking him what interns should question, ”Why are you with the interns? Don't you have other appointments today?”

The interns who were leaving let out chortle before suppressing it. Naomi felt like Aaron gave her across the face mercilessly. She desperately wanted to shout, 'I am with you, I came to accompany you.' But she knew well she will be a laughing stock.

Aarvi had to bite her lips to control laughing out. Aaron's EQ was only high for her and his family. She felt bad for Naomi yet she cluelessly added, ”I had thought she is with you. Never mind, I will return real quick... Cya.” She left waving her hand glancing at Naomi's sour face.

'How dare she mock me?' Aarvi thought and walked away from them. She agrees she doesn't know everything and she learns what interests her but she won't give permission to anybody to laugh at her.

Aaron looked at Naomi who had racked her brain to respond, ”I want to discuss methodological Issues in the Psychosocial Job Strain on the heart. Its study helps me with my research on Cardiovascular Diseases.”

The Psychosocial Job Strain on the heart is a topic Aaron is researching and Naomi is working on cardiovascular Diseases hence it was a legit topic which Aaron couldn't turndown.

Aaron hummed as he walked ahead, ”Come to my office later, no need to waste your time now.”

Naomi had no choice other than accepting it, ”Alright, I will see you later.” She didn't want to go because Aarvi will be sitting right there but she will go so that she could make Aarvi jealous talking with Aaron to show off she has many things in common with him and suits him the best.
