Chapter 30: Maybe You Can Ask Me for Something Else
This instrument is already very common in foreign countries, which can reduce the embarrassment between patients and doctors and help to find the problem more accurately.
"I, I have things to do, I'll come back another day..."Bob Ashe cannot stand the cold air in the room; he grabs his pants and flees.
"Mr. Smith, your behavior has a very bad influence on my work. I don't think you want to frighten all the patients away since you are the chairman of the hospital."
How sharp-tongued she is. He doesn't know when the woman who used to be obedient becomes so strong, "This is my hospital. I can do whatever I want!"
The man's words are so childish that Alice Roberts wonders why she used to think he is nice person; he's apparently an arrogant and selfish guy.
Alice Roberts doesn't want to say anything to him.
But it seems that Edward Smith is going to mess her up. He sits in her office therefore no patient dares to come to her. Alice can't be angrier. Isn't he the President of a big company? How could he have so much time to sit here?
Time flies, no one comes to Alice except the first one named Bob Ashe during the whole morning.
Now doctors are also paid depending on the number of their patients, and Alice Roberts doubts that she can only get her basic salary this month.
She cannot let him stay here anymore. As Julie Swift calls her to dinner, Alice Roberts says to Edward Smith, in what she thinks is a very calm voice, "Mr. Smith, what should I do to satisfy you so that you
will leave here?"
"Quit this job and be my mistress."
Alice Roberts clenches her fist and smiles, "Maybe you could ask me for something else."
Edward Smith looks at Alice Roberts with a smirk and feels ridiculous. She must be working to make money.
He is not in a hurry to make her be his mistress. But at the thought of the scene which he has just seen when he rushed in, he frowns and says, "No more patient examinations."
Alice Roberts bets that Edward Smith is coming to annoy her! Cause it's too obvious.
But Edward Smith won't leave if she doesn't say yes. Glancing around, Alice Roberts smiles, "Yes, I promise."
"You know what will happen If you lie to me."
The phone rings just when Edward Smith is warning her. It's his assistant asking about the business.
After a few minutes on the phone, Alice Roberts gives Edward Smith a sincere look, "Mr. Smith, you better goes back to work since you are so busy."
"Alice Roberts, you better not lie to me."
"Take your time."
Alice Roberts leans over onto the table and breathes a sigh of relief after Edward Smith left. Julie Swift comes over and looks at she, she could not help wondering, "Alice, that man is so fierce, do you know him?"
The ordinary employees don’t know that Edward Smith is the chairman and Alice Roberts doesn't want expose Edward's identity, so she mumbles, "I've offended him before, but we're fine now."
Although Julie Swift is usually careless, she is not stupid. It was clear from the way Edward Smith rushed into the room that there is something wrong between them, but Alice Roberts does not want to say, so she does not ask again.
There should be more trust and freedom between them. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
"Don't think of it, let's go for lunch. The delicious food would be sold out if we come late." Julie Swift steps forward, holds Alice Roberts' hand and walks outside.
After lunch, Alice Roberts takes a rest in the consulting room. At two o 'clock, she wakes up naturally and stretches her body to welcome the patient.
However... One hour passed and not a single patient came in.
She opens the door and looks at the empty room, wondering if what happened in the morning deters the patients from coming in.
Just keep waiting.
Alice Roberts sits patiently in the consulting room.
However, no one came to her consulting room until she gets off work. She did nothing but wipeing the table two or three times in the afternoon.
At the end of the day, Julie Swift jokingly tells her that she could take a break if every day were like this afternoon.
Alice Roberts is amused and scolds Edward Smith in her heart. The patients must've known what happened in the morning so they dare not to come to her.
...
The next day, Alice Roberts comes to the hospital in high spirits. After punching, she puts on the white gown and sits in the consulting room, asking Julie Swift to remind the registered patients what they should bring.
Julie Swift, who has been gone for a short time, comes back with an embarrassment on her face, "I just went to the outpatient department to ask about it, and no patient makes appointment with you today."
Alice Roberts pauses, slightly frustrated, but smiles and encourages Julie Swift. "Maybe it's too early."
Julie Swift smiles too, nods and makes a gesture of encouragement. "It must be."
As time goes by, at first Alice Roberts could console herself by saying that she just came home from abroad so the patients don't trust her, or that the men are too shy to make the appointments.
It is when Alice Roberts and Julie Swift go to the hospital canteen for lunch that they hear the other male doctors in the urology department talking about how busy they were today.
When noting Alice Roberts, one doctor jokingly says, "I thought that the patients would definitely go to Dr. Alice when they know she's so beautiful. I didn't expect that it is Dr. Alice who has the most leisure time."
Alice Roberts chuckles and looks embarrassed.
"Hum, this kind of person better not come! Come on, Alice, let's go over there for dinner. Don't listen to them. They're all a bunch of leaches!"
Julie Swift leads Alice Roberts to the other side, all the way up the road telling her how lecherous the male doctors in the urology department are, even more than the gynecologists...
Then they meet John Blake, the most popular male doctor in obstetrics and gynecology.
John Blake and Alice Roberts transferred to this hospital at the same time. With his excellent medical skills and handsome face, he attracts a large number of pregnant women, which makes their husbands extremely jealous.
There are even some pregnant women keep pestering John Blake, saying something about marrying him.
It has gone around the hospital, and John Blake is famous now.
Julie Swift blushes when she sees John Blake as she's making fun of him, "D…Dr. Blake."
John Blake smiles gently. "Would you mind if I sit here?"
"Certainly not." Julie Swift is very embarrassed; she carves out some room for John Blake and then sits down next to Alice Roberts.
Alice Roberts could not help laughing. John Blake feels relieved looking at her smile. He has also heard about the rumors and is afraid that Alice Roberts would feel terrible for no one made appointments with her.
