After Arvin gave Lulu a hard look that could measure on the Mohs' scale, Lulu loped out of the ward at once. She was going to discharge herself.
Angela winked at Arvin in secret. He stepped out of the room. A few nurses and other doctors stared at him, who seemed to stir up a commotion everywhere he went.
Just as he was about to get on the elevator, Arvin seemed to suddenly remember something and called the head nurse's name. "Winnie, my sister needs a nurse to escort her back." He glanced at everybody present, which attracted the attention of several nurses. Their eyes lit up, but they cowered back or pretending to check their work.
At last he pointed to Angela, who was standing in the middle of them. "Angela Si, would you like to escort Lulu back home?"
Lulu was in the elevator. "Arvin, I..."
'I don't need anyone to escort me back home!' Lulu was about to say it, but Arvin's forbidding stare bored into her skull.
She shut her mouth.
'Isn't Lulu well?' wondered Angela. 'Why does she need an escort?'
"Well?" said Winnie. "Angela, hand over your work to Lucy and send Lulu back. Chop chop."
Ten Minutes Later
Angela couldn't figure out Arvin's intentions until she went to his office. They stood facing each other like wooden dolls.
His real plan was to give Angela an alibi so that he could take care of her, here. It wasn't just to have a rest, because how could a man and a woman alone together plan this with sincerity? What they were really having was... A love affair!
It was true. Arvin held Angela in his arms and kissed her as if he were drunk with desire.
After a long French kiss, Angela seized at his tie and asked him breathlessly, "Is this the reason you tricked me into your office?"
Arvin's eyebrow twitched. He didn't deny it.
The recollection of how they had been interrupted kept being conjured up.
Angela pinched his face. "You rogue. Be careful! A post could be uploaded to the hospital website. Deputy director Arvin Gu seduces a nurse in his office to carry on a clandestine love affair!"
"Has a good ring to it, no?" He stared at her with a wicked glint in his eye. "A clandestine love affair?"
Angela blushed. She pulled Arvin's tie to her and said, "Why can't you see the big picture?"
"The big picture?"
"... Yes, that you seduced a nurse. Haha." Angela began laughing her head off hysterically.
Arvin set her on the sofa, his hands fumbling over her body. "Shall we carry on this 'clandestine love affair', Miss Si?"
Angela seized his hands immediately. "No, I was wrong. We are having a rest! A rest!"
'We are in an office, a place where anyone could pop in!'
While Angela was thinking this, the office door was suddenly opened. "Arv!"
'Holy shit!'
A figure emerged and saw the two pairs of eyes, one worried and the other unemotional.
It was too late to sit up. What had been seen could not be unseen. Arvin blocked Angela with his arm to keep her back.
"Mom!" he shouted. "Get out!"
