Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 135

Miles explained, "Walter used to be a military commander. After he got injured, he refused to leave the service, so they put him in charge of this hospital. He's the Director."

"That makes sense," Zoe noted. "He definitely has this unquestionable, commanding aura about him, but he didn't exactly scream 'medical professional.'"

"As far as I know, hospital directors don't always need a medical background. Some come from outside the field—the key is their ability to manage and lead."

"That's true."

Without Sloane around, Miles seemed to lose interest in the conversation. He barely spoke.

After sitting there for another half hour with no sign of Sloane finishing, he excused himself and left.

Outside the OR, Sloane stripped off her scrubs and mask, standing by a water cooler. She downed three paper cups of water in rapid succession.

The two male doctors exited shortly after, removing their protective gear as well.

Walter strolled up to them, a wide grin on his face. "Smooth sailing?"

Despite the smile, he carried a heavy, authoritative presence.

It gave Sloane the distinct impression that he was allowed to joke around, but nobody else was.

The two doctors exclaimed, "Walter, where on earth did you find this hotshot? Her suturing is like artwork—fast and absolutely flawless!"

Just then, Sloane turned around, having finished her water.

The doctors did a double-take.

"She's gorgeous!"

"And so young! I thought you were pushing thirty, but looking at you now, you can't be more than twenty-five, right?"

Walter gestured toward her. "Why don't you introduce yourself?"

"I'm Sloane Sutton," she said evenly. "From Capital City. Neurosurgeon. I'm twenty-eight."

Walter chimed in proudly, "And she's got a Ph.D."

The doctors gaped at her. "Whoa, is the job market that brutal back home? A Ph.D. slumming it in our middle-of-nowhere clinic?"

"I'm here on a medical support rotation," Sloane clarified.

Walter nudged the two men. "Introduce yourselves."
