My Secret Husband Is My Cold Boss novel Chapter 2

“Chief Gates, save me.”

“Can't be done.” Wendy offered a faint smile.

Her eyes were bright, clear, and strikingly beautiful.

As a fellow medical resident, Riley clicked her tongue, crying foul over the injustice.

“Wendy, Chief Lawrence over in Cardiac Surgery became a chief resident a month after you, right?”

The title of 'Chief Resident' meant exactly what it sounded like—you practically lived at the hospital.

It was a brutal twenty-four-hour shift, six days a week, with only a single day off.

And getting that one day off at a place like Capital Medical Center—the top heart center in the country—was purely a matter of luck.

Not quite catching Riley's drift, Wendy looked over at her.

Riley's tone was incredibly dramatic. “Did you know I ran into Leo yesterday in the hallway? He's so exhausted he's actually going bald.”

“And yet here you are, my beautiful little rose. Pulling all-nighters every single day, and you still look flawless.”

Wendy chuckled, reaching out to flick Riley's forehead.

“Alright, enough with the flattery. Use this time to review your charts before Dr. Franklin does a spot check and chews you out again.”

Dr. Franklin was notoriously vicious when he yelled.

Aside from Wendy, every single person in the department had been reduced to tears by him at least once.

A shiver of absolute terror ran down Riley's spine. She flinched, let out a pathetic whimper, and booted up her computer.

While waiting for it to turn on, she belatedly remembered something and wheeled her chair back over to Wendy.

“Wait a minute. I don't think it's time for Chairman Sutton's routine checkup yet, is it?”

“Not even close.”

Wendy shook her head and pierced the lid of her iced coffee with a straw.

Looking at the system, she was scheduled for five surgeries today. This quick breakfast was the only peaceful meal she was going to get.

Wendy said, “He's probably here for the foundation.”

The Sutton Family was one of the wealthiest and most powerful dynasties in the capital.

A few years ago, Chairman Sutton had suffered a massive heart attack in the middle of the night. At the critical moment, Dr. Franklin had personally operated on him and saved his life.

As a token of gratitude, the older man had instructed his grandson to heavily fund the hospital's charity projects ever since he was discharged.
