The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 542

It was Caspian's strikingly handsome, undeniably captivating face.

He was dressed sharply today in a tailored grey suit with a subtly striped shirt and a crisp tie. His long, elegant fingers were interlaced and resting neatly on the table, exuding an air of absolute professionalism.

Yet the second I walked in, my gaze collided with those predatory, fox-like eyes. He narrowed them slightly, a distinct glimmer dancing in their depths, and the corners of his lips curved upward into a wicked, charismatic smirk.

I was completely thrown off balance.

What was Caspian doing here? When did he get to Capital General? Was he so worried about Tiffany Thorne that he had rushed back to see her?

"Selena, take a seat," Dr. Evelyn Yates's voice rang out, pulling me sharply from my thoughts.

It was only then that I realized Caspian was sitting directly beside Dr. Yates.

Beside me, Amber tugged frantically at my sleeve, her voice dropping to a hushed, vibrating whisper. "No way. No freaking way, Selena. Tell me our new deputy director isn't Dr. Cross! This is amazing! If he's here, we can finally breathe a little. The man is a legend!"

I was wondering the exact same thing.

Was the highly anticipated, newly appointed Deputy Director we had all been waiting for actually Caspian Cross?

But wasn't he stationed at St. Jude's? Surely he hadn't quit his job there just to come to Capital General?

"Alright, looks like everyone is here, so let's get started. We've been swamped lately, so we're keeping this brief. At Dr. Cross's request, we're just doing a quick internal introduction for the department today." Dr. Yates beamed as she addressed the room. "Everyone, this is our newly appointed Deputy Director, Caspian Cross. I'm sure most of you have heard his name before. From now on, he's one of us. Go ahead, Dr. Cross, say a few words."
