Chapter 150 - First Day (1/2)
Yera touched the engraved name plate on her desk, Chief Doctor Deyna Song. She wondered how her previous office that was now occupied by Lyndon looked like now. She was already introduced to important key personnels at Life Globals and as expected, she saw terror and great shock in the eyes of those who worked for Yera Han before. It was like they saw a witch waking up from her grave and was about to cast her curse on everyone.
Rizie entered her new office with a coffee and the two sat on the couch to relax as they chatted a bit. Of course they were very careful about what they talked about, because the office could be bugged so they only talked about the usual things about future work.
Rizie on the other hand got the opportunity to stare at Yera and compare her physical looks with Dion since they were siblings. Nothing looked alike at all so she asked, ”Doc, who among your parents you got most of your looks?”
Yera was a bit surprised with the sudden question but she replied, ”I look like my mom. Why?”
Rizie nodded and she assumed that Dion probably got more of his looks from the father. ”By the way, let me just remind you that you will have a meeting in an hour and…”
The two women were startled with the sudden opening of Yera's office.
”Oh my God! It's true then,” a woman in her sixties burst out. Yera furrowed and muttered, ”I'm sorry…” She looked at the woman in the eyes with her questioning and confused eyes that was saying, 'Do I know you?'
Juliet's eyebrows arched but her face quickly softened as she walked towards Yera and said, ”Oh, I'm sorry dear, it's rude me. It's just that I'm too flustered. I heard that a new doctor was here who looks exactly like my niece, so I rushed in here to see if it's true.”
Rizie leaned on her ear as if to whisper something and Juliet heard it. 'She's Madame Juliet Go, wife of the Chairman.”
”That's okay. I got that questioning glare a lot already, Mrs. Go. My apologies for not recognizing you soon enough. To be honest I'm not good with remembering people a lot,, except for those whom I often spend time with. I'm Dr. Deyna Song Madame. It's nice to meet you.” Yera said as she extended her hand for a handshake.
Juliet stared at her intently. She looked exactly like Yera except for the hair and her cheerful personality. Dr. Chong already reported to her Lyndon's intention to poach someone who looked exactly like Yera. She also knew that her ignorant daughter already did several DNA tests on her and it did not match with Yera's.
To be honest, whoever this lady in front of her was, did not matter to her as long as she would not be a hindrance for her in gaining full power over Life Globals group. Juliet accepted the handshake and smiled.
”I'm really sorry about this.” Juliet repeated while she studied the doctor's every expression.
Yera genuinely smiled and said, ”No worries Madame, as I've said, I'm used to it already. But I must contest, I'm not the witch doctor like what I often heard about her.”
”But she owned Life Globals right? If in case I'm her twin, will I have the chance to own it also?” Yera jested once more and observed closely how her aunt Juliet would react.
She saw Juliet's face soured but she immediately changed it to a smile as she commented, ”Of course, I would be delighted to welcome you to our family if that's the case. By the way, welcome in our hospital and I do hope you enjoy working here.”
”Oh, that's so nice of you Madame. Thank you.” Yera simply replied. Madame Go soon bid her farewell and Rizie sighed as soon as she left.
”I guessed you will have such a long first day at work. Later, you'll see the Chairman too. I guess you really look like that Yera Han, huh that everyone look like they've seen a ghost.” Rizie intentionally mumbled. Yera slumped her body on her seat and relaxed herself while Rizie commented more as scripted.
”Maybe we should do DNA testing yourself in here to prove your identity Doc,” Rizie added. ”Yeah, I will talk to CEO Chu about it later. I heard Dr. Long was removed suddenly. Can you get me his secretary please I want to check the pending works.” Yera asked.
Rizie nodded and left her. She looked around her office more. She knew she was being watched and she sighed. The safest place to have a real conversation was only outside the hospital and that was the first rule they must watch for.
She looked at her mobile phone and saw several missed calls and unread messages from Xander so she quickly opened and read it.
[I already left and probably would stay for about a month or more until the investigation is finished. I love you. Call me whenever you're free to talk.]
Yera smiled and sighed. She was worried that Xander would act the opposite but seeing his messages confirmed that he was trying to understand the situation.
Her face twitched though seeing his last message…
