Chapter 28 - A Perfect Catch (1/2)
For the first time in his life, Xander felt that the hours he was spending at the hospital were passing by so slowly…
He already did his usual routines, but the ticking of the clock still felt so slow. He grabbed his mobile phone to dial assistant Ron's number and asked, ”Where is she? What is she doing?”
Upon confirming Yera's whereabouts, which was in the surgical department's meeting room, discussing various patients' cases for surgery with the other surgeons, he instructed, ”Order some snacks for them. Make sure they're tasty...”
Assistant Ron immediately obeyed. He ordered some delicious pizzas and have them directly delivered to the surgical department.
The pizza delivery arrived, just in time, as soon as the meeting was over, surprising all the department's members.
”Wow, what a good timing…” Dr. Rio exclaimed when she saw the pizza boxes that Chief Doctor Gong was receiving.
Dr. Gong looked at Yera and said, ”Dr. Yang had this delivered as his thanks for our hard work…”
He threw her a meaningful smile, which made Yera blush. He did not say it, but his eyes were obviously teasing her.
”Wait, you mean, Dr. CEO?” exclaimed one of the other doctors, and Dr. Gong nodded. He looked at Yera again and explained, ”Dr. Yang is often called Dr. CEO by many employees because he is our CEO too.”
”Yeah, he's so perfect. The most perfect man in our eyes. A perfect catch for us, single predators. He's someone who has a background in medicine and then enhanced by his uncomparable knowledge in business,” Dr. Rio gushed with twinkling eyes. Then she clasped her hands in front of her chest and squealed as she was picturing Xander in her head.
Dr. Gong looked apologetically at Yera, before he reprimanded Dr. Rio, ”Stop talking like that. Who knows, maybe Dr. Yang is already taken.”
Yera could not hide her smile, seeing the nervous look on Dr. Gong's face, so she gestured for him not to worry by shaking her head furtively.
”Okay, guys, let's grab some and eat… This sure looks delicious… Our Dr. CEO is extra generous today. So, let's all be thankful,” commented Dr. Ye, who quickly grabbed a slice. But instead of eating it, he gave it to Yera. He flashed her his cutest smile and said, ”Dr.Song… Here, for you…”
*Cough* *Cough* *Cough*
Everyone was startled by the sudden sound of someone coughing at the door…
”Dr. CEO?” one of the doctors murmured. Xander forced a smile on his face, especially at Dr. Ye, who had his hand hanging in midair because he was in the middle of handing the slice of pizza to Yera.
”Why are you offering that to the new doctor instead of your seniors or the chief doctor? Give that slice to Dr. Gong, who has been working hard to lead the surgical team to great success,” Xander instructed in a provoking manner, which caught everyone in the room off guard.
Dr. Gong could sense jealousy radiating from their Dr. CEO, so he quickly grabbed the pizza from Dr. Ye's hand and said, ”Thanks. Okay, let's eat, everyone. Dr. Yang, since you're here, please come and join us.”
Xander walked toward them and took a slice of pizza, which he immediately offered to Yera, ”Here… Eat this one.” Yera accepted it while trying to control her face from twisting. But her lips tightened, indicating her disapproval. Xander totally ignored it and even winked at her in front of everyone.
Dr. Ye gave Dr. Gong a confused look, which the latter only answered by shrugging his shoulders.
Dr. Rio quickly made her move. With sparkling eyes, she asked, ”Can I also be graced by getting a slice of pizza from our famous and incredible Dr. CEO?”
