394 Wayne Is in A Good Mood
Anna thought, /'m not afraid of you! Why would I? She was so angry that she even wanted to slap him.
Wayne left after saying that, much to her delight. And Anna sat nervously in her office until three o'clock when she was relieved of her duties. She walked away without even saying hello when the doctor on the next shift arrived there.
She had to return to work at nine a.m., so she slept in the doctor's lounge. Being on duty all night was exhausting. However, Anna couldn't sleep after lying down. She knew she would meet Wayne when she returned to Birmingham but she didn't expect that she would meet him so soon. She'd only been back a month when she ran into Peter and him at the hospital.
For five years, Anna'd been thinking about it and still wasn't sure how she'd face Wayne again. Anna knew that if they never saw each other again, time would make them let go of everything. Some people may forget someone after only a few days of not seeing them, while others may take years or even a lifetime.
Thinking of that, Anna had been laying down for several hours until dawn. She awoke with bloodshot eyes after getting out of bed to shower. It was only seven o'clock in the morning.
Before going to work, she went to Nancy's office and asked her to restore her shift schedule. Nancy asked curiously, "Why did you change your mind? Do you want to meet your father now?"
Anna frowned and said, "He's not my father! Would you please drop it? Isit fun to tease me like that?" 393 Wayne Is in A Good Mood Seeing that Anna's face darkened and she was annoyed, Nancy decided to let go of the topic this time. She wanted to keep teasing her though:
After a brief pause, Nancy sighed and said, "No worries, I'll change your shift for you as long as you go on a blind date for me on Saturday."
"Dr. Moore, if you ever say I'm Mr. Wright's illegitimate daughter again,
I'll tell the head nurse you asked me to go on a blind date for you," Anna said, taking a deep breath.
"Dr. Gabriel, you can't do this to me!" Nancy exclaimed.
"You threatened me, so | have to defend myself. I'll only go on one blind date for you, and I'll stay out of it from now on."
After that, Anna returned to the lounge after leaving Nancy's office. She smelled coffee as soon as she opened the door.
One of her co-workers was eating a bagel. When she saw Anna return, she waved to her and said, "Here, have some breakfast. I was just looking for you, and they said you went to Nancy's office. The coffee and bagels are from that place around the corner, and they're delicious. That's the most popular breakfast shop in the neighborhood."
Anna was curious because she didn't know what was good to eat around the hospital. She took a sip of her cappuccino and was amazed by its taste. "Thanks."
Her colleague smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me. In all the years I've been working here, no one has ever brought me breakfast except my husband. You were on duty here all night long yesterday, right? A young man brought you breakfast this morning." Anna froze and asked, "This is for me?"
Her co-worker handed her a blueberry bagel and said, "A young man asked me where you were when I got here this morning. I told him that no 393 Wayne Is in A Good Mood one else was allowed in our lounge, so he asked me to bring you breakfast. | happened to be there early, so had some."
