Winnie Miao, a 38-year old mother with two children, was the head nurse of the VVIP Ward Department. It was her fifteenth year working in the Yao Hospital.
She scrutinized the two new nurses in front of her, knowing that they've got their jobs by pulling strings. This made Winnie extremely annoyed.
She cleared her throat, and asked, "Are you Angela Si? And you are Nancy Dong?"
They both nodded. Angela told Winnie with a smile, "Winnie, I'm Angela Si, and she is Nancy Dong!"
Winnie Miao seemed to be offended by the pleasantry. She narrowed her eyes and replied with an unfriendly tone, "Have I asked you about it?"
Winnie was playing hardball with them. Angela wanted to say something back, but Nancy interrupted her in a low voice, "Angela, calm down!"
To calm her nerves, Angela took a deep breath and thought of her brother's warning, "Going out to work is not the same as studying in school. Hold back your tantrums, or you won't even know why you've been trapped!!"
She paused for a while so that she could cool down, then she answered Winnie with a smile, "I'm sorry about what I've done, please continue."
Winnie glanced at the two ladies and nodded with satisfaction, "You may start your work now. You should start at the bottom and work your way up. I don't care how you landed this job but you would never receive any special treatment. You would be treated as ordinary nurses here. If you can't stand the difficulties, I wouldn't stop you from leaving."
Winnie was a straightforward person. Without much talking, she asked two qualified nurses to take them to work right away.
Time had passed quickly. Luckily, this morning's work had been a breeze. Since there were only ten wards with two patients, there was no need to ask the novices to get their new hands in treating the patients. They just spent their time watching how the tenured ones work to familiarize themselves in their new working environment.
At noon time, Angela asked Nancy to come with her to the Pharmacy Department. When Angela ran, Nancy pulled her to stop, "Angela, you better take care of your looks..."
Nancy was like an old conservative lady. She had always been reminding Angela about the proper manners. Angela stopped in her tracks, "Nancy, as a girl, sometimes you can't be too tender, you know? Well, you should learn from me..."
Nancy
"Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!"
When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.
Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune...
at her hands. Did she have... A virus?
Or did he... Much to her annoyance, she spit out three words, "You have issues!"
Without a doubt! When someone's mysophobia reaches a certain level, he must have some issues! Just like her daddy...
After roaring those three words at Arvin, she grabbed Nancy, who was taking the pleasure of looking at Arvin, and they walked away.
"Angela Si, did I say that you can go?"
As soon as she heard him, with a surprised look in her eyes, Nancy whispered, "How did our director know your name?"
Angela stopped and didn't make another step. She was really confused. She whispered to Nancy, "Who is our director?"
Could that wing be the... Director of this hospital? No! She could not believe what she just heard.
"Arvin Gu is our director! He is my brother's good friend! Arvin is the deputy director of this hospital! His father, Hogan Old is the director of this hospital. There's another deputy director called Zack Old. Their family basically runs this place..." Nancy's older brother, Gage Dong, was a good friend of Arvin Gu. However, due to their age gap, they were usually busy with different things. That was why Nancy only met Arvin for a couple of times, and it wasn't even a face-to-face meeting.
Angela almost chocked on her own, and she didn't respond for quite a while. "Did we fall into a goose nest?"
Arvin slightly moved. "What's do you mean by a goose nest?"
Still in surprise, Angela thought it was a question from Nancy. "Their surnames are all Gu! This place is certainly a home for goose!"
