The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 419

I was so shocked I almost bit my own tongue. I immediately yanked Amber into the room and shut the door before scolding her with a frown. "Amber, don't talk nonsense. Why would Dr. Cross confess to me? He has a girlfriend."

"Selena, you can't just assume a man and a woman walking together are dating. What if they're siblings? Besides, you saw it too! He wasn't just concerned about you—he called you Selena right in front of us and said he wanted to spend sweet time with you! It's so obvious he likes you!" Amber had a lot to say.

"You have a wild imagination!" I pinched her cheek in exasperation. "Dr. Cross cares about me and came to see me because he wants to recruit me to St. Jude's."

I briefly explained how Caspian had previously offered me a position as his assistant at St. Jude's. I then warned Amber, "Don't make wild guesses anymore. If these rumors reach his girlfriend's ears, it'll cause trouble. Aren't you a fan of his? You definitely don't want to see your idol unhappy, right?"

When Caspian brought up his previous offer, it all made sense. No wonder he was so attentive tonight; he was trying to poach me to be his assistant at St. Jude's.

Even though I wasn't planning on moving to St. Jude's right now, being recognized by an outstanding anesthesiologist like him still made me very happy.

"So he was trying to poach you professionally. I thought he was trying to poach you romantically," Amber sighed wistfully. "It made me struggle so hard, trying to figure out if I should side with my good friend or my idol. Both are important to me, you know?"

"Alright, so you don't have to struggle anymore, do you?" I poked her, then asked, "Did the directors say anything about me missing the activities today? And what were you handling with Ms. Huang?"

"Dr. Yates organized a barbecue, and everyone was eating, drinking, and having a blast in the courtyard. Nothing special happened. I just went down to drop off some ointment. Dr. Liao burned himself on the grill and needed burn cream. Ms. Huang urged me to come back up to look after you," Amber replied casually.

"I heard Dr. Sterling and Zoey fighting," she blurted out the second my fingers touched her cheek.

I froze.

"Isn't it weird, Selena? Dr. Sterling and Zoey were just showing off their affection in front of us, and now they're already fighting. I heard Zoey crying inside, asking him if he liked you, otherwise why would he have gone into your room?"

"By the way, Selena, why did Dr. Sterling come into our room tonight? Did he really just come to borrow the bathroom?"
