“What gives you the right to do so?” Shen Zhilie rose from his seat with a rare dark expression on his face. “Don’t you know how much trouble your actions will cause me?”
Lin Miaomiao backed away and said rather nervously, “I…”
“I’ll apply to transfer you out of my office. I’ll find another a.s.sistant.” Shen Zhilie stood up and picked his phone up. “You may leave.”
“Doctor Shen, I’m just doing this for your own good. You…”
“Get out.” Shen Zhilie wore a hard expression on his face and didn’t show even the slightest bit of mercy.
Lin Miaomiao had heard stories about Shen Zhilie, and it was said that this man appeared slovenly and casual, and he rarely flew into a rage. However, once he became angry, few people would be able to handle it… Furthermore, Shen Zhilie seemed to be serious, so Lin Miaomiao didn’t dare comment any further and could only carry her lunchbox and slip out dejectedly.
Shen Zhilie called Ye Qianqian, but it seemed like she was preoccupied with some matters, for the call rang for a long time, and n.o.body answered.
At that moment, Shen Zhilie was actually relieved that Ye Qianqian hadn’t blacklisted his number…
“But why won’t she answer the call?”
–
After Ye Qianqian walked out of the hospital, she walked into a random fast food joint nearby and ordered some food to eat.
After she finished her meal, she raced against time to rush back to her office. She only managed to reach her office approximately ten minutes later.
There were quite a number of people on the train, and since there were no vacant seats and the train swayed from side to side, Ye Qianqian didn’t pay attention to her phone.
She only looked at her phone when she reached her office, and, upon taking a glance, she saw that there were two missed calls.
It was… Shen Zhilie.
Ye Qianqian’s heart jolted in surprise at the sight of the name.
She held onto her phone for a moment, and while it was obvious that only a short amount of time had pa.s.sed, Ye Qianqian’s palms were already coated with a layer of sweat.
Ye Qianqian returned the call hesitantly, but at the moment when she made the call, she cut off Shen Zhilie’s incoming call to her.
Did Shen Zhilie call me at such a time because his colleague in Kingstown told him that I went to look for him? What should I say when I return the call? I only acted on impulse when I went to look for him in the hospital.
Now that Ye Qianqian had calmed down, she began to regret her behavior. Regret pelted down on her, and she stared at her phone hesitantly for a moment. Ultimately, she decided not to return the call. But just when Ye Qianqian was about to place her phone down, it suddenly vibrated, and a pleasant tune could then be heard.
“It’s Shen Zhilie!” Ye Qianqian’s limbs began to stiffen the moment she saw the name. “What should I say?”
After Ye Qianqian clutched onto her phone for some time, she answered the call. “h.e.l.lo.”
It was a familiar voice. Although Ye Qianqian’s voice sounded slightly different over the phone, in Shen Zhilie’s ears, it sounded as melodious as a song.
“Hey, I heard that you went to our hospital today?” Shen Zhilie spoke in a calm voice and pretended as if nothing had happened.
Ye Qianqian was a little embarra.s.sed, and she felt as though the sense of awkwardness that she was feeling at that very moment was killing her. However, she still pretended to be calm and replied, “Yes, I’ve been feeling rather unwell lately, so I went to have a check-up in the hospital. I happened to pa.s.s by the Department of Psychiatry, and since we haven’t met in a long time, I thought I’d say h.e.l.lo to you.”
“I see…” Shen Zhilie was a little disappointed.
Ye Qianqian’s heart thumped even more wildly as she continued, “Yeah. Why did you return to the capital all of a sudden?”
“The hospital transferred me there. Some things happened in the capital lately, so there was a manpower crunch. The hospital even specifically a.s.signed a personal a.s.sistant to me.”
“Sounds very busy.” Ye Qianqian’s heart fluttered. “Your a.s.sistant must be a doctor as well?”
“Yeah, she’s a young intern, but she left already.”
