Chapter 1382: Chapter 1382: Like a Flashbang
A slap, then a sweet date; that’s about how it goes.
Atra Blanc didn’t have any particular thoughts. She was simple-minded, only wanted to do her duties well, and never thought of striving for anything or the twists and turns in other’s minds.
Dr. Griffiths said, “I’ll assign you more work so the hospital leaders can see your achievements. When it comes time for evaluations, you’ll have a significant advantage!
You know, the competition in the hospital is intense. For a nurse as inexperienced as you, getting evaluated is extremely difficult! … But don’t worry too much, I’ll do my best to help you.”
While talking, the two had already reached the hospital entrance.
Atra softly muttered, “Um… Dr. Griffiths, thank you for considering me, but I don’t have plans to go abroad anytime soon.”
Her mother was critically ill, with only a few days left, so she couldn’t possibly leave her behind to go elsewhere.
Dr. Griffiths dismissively said, “Young people need ambition. How can you miss such a rare learning opportunity? Don’t be afraid of unfamiliar places; I’m there, and I’ll take care of you.”
Before Atra could speak, he added, “You must be very tired today; let me take you back.”
There’s a row of canopies at the hospital entrance, with bicycles parked underneath. Dr. Griffiths pushed out a brand-new one from among them, strutted over to Atra with pride.
A passing colleague saw it and said, “Oh, Dr. Griffiths, you bought a bicycle? Is this a new model?”
“Yes, it’s the latest model.” Dr. Griffiths answered modestly, though his smile couldn’t hide his pride.
At this time, bicycles were in demand; a brand-new model was an upscale item that most couldn’t afford. Riding out on Dr. Griffiths’ bicycle was quite prestigious.
However, Atra didn’t want to bask in his glory at all.
If she got on… and others saw, they would definitely think she was involved with Dr. Griffiths. How would she explain it later?
As she was feeling troubled, she heard someone calling her—
“Atra, why are you here?” Clyde Summers walked over holding a bouquet of flowers, “I’ve been waiting for you outside for ages.”
Seeing Clyde, Atra’s eyes widened for a moment.
Today, he was really… really different!
His hair was styled like Chow Yun-fat in ‘God of Gamblers,’ slicked back with shiny wax!
He was wearing a white shirt and a gray pinstripe suit, straight and tall, with shiny black leather shoes that matched his hair perfectly.
His outfit was too fashionable, too striking!
Not to mention, he was holding a large bunch of bright pink flowers! Standing at the hospital entrance, he was like a flashing beacon!
Atra felt the urge to flee.
Clyde walked over, casually tossed the flowers into her arms, slightly raised his chin, and looked at Dr. Griffiths, “Who’s this guy?”
Atra was acutely aware of the scrutinizing eyes around them.
She lowered her head and introduced reluctantly, “This is Dr. Grif…”
Before she could finish, Dr. Griffiths looked at Clyde cautiously, “Who are you?! What’s your relationship with Atra?”
“Can’t you tell?” Clyde slung an arm around Atra’s shoulders, “Isn’t it obvious?”
Atra: “!!!”
“You have a boyfriend?!” Frank Griffiths was completely taken aback.
Atra hurriedly waved her hands, “No! I, I’m not with him… we actually…”
She wanted to explain but was too flustered, not knowing where to start. Her heart raced even more when she saw the hospital dean coming out at such an inconvenient time!
No one would want to be caught in such a scene by a leader!
Treating the hospital like what? With such improper conduct at work, just wait for a public reprimand!
Atra was so anxious she wanted to cry, “The dean saw us! You’re going to ruin me!”
“That’s your dean?” Clyde glanced over, thought for a moment, and then strode confidently towards the dean—
