Dorothy looked up and asked calmly. “What’s up?“]
“Our hospital is negotiating a construction project for the Sleep Medicine Center. There’s a dinner meeting with government officials tonight. You’re going.“]
Sonia placed a file on her desk.]
Dorothy glanced at the file and laughed. “Dr. Frazier, you don’t go for the negotiation? Why do you hand this project to me?“[]
“Dr. Acosta, are you still holding a grudge over what happened before?” Sonia replied with a smile. “We’re colleagues after all, and I trust your abilities. I’m very confident you can handle this project well.“]
Afraid Dorothy might refuse, Sonia added, “Besides, this is Dwayne’s request. He said I would take over your duties, so I asked you to negotiate the project. Don’t turn me down.”
Dorothy clenched her fists tightly.]

The dean had even signed off on it.]
