... When Randal heard the whispering of some people, Randal looked really upset.
Angela also felt very awkward. In other people's eyes, she was the girl that once seduced Arvin...
Since another song has began, everyone gradually focused their attention on singing instead of the rumors. Angela started to feel relieved.
"Angela, you have to pay attention to your image!" Randal talked to her with an unsatisfactory tone.
Angela's face turned red out of embarrassment, "I have explained to you already that I didn't seduce Arvin!"
Randal saw that she became angry, so he said nothing after that. Later, his colleagues passed two bottles of beer to them.
Since Angela knew no one from the Pharmacy Department and Randal didn't even bother to talk to her, Angela felt very bored that she decided to play on her phone.
When the clock has hit 7:30, almost all the employees under the management of Director Liu had come inside the room. They all decided to drink together. Because of this, the environment became very hot!
A guy saw Randal's indifference to Angela and he started to chat with her, "Which department are you in?"
Angela immediately closed her phone, "VVIP Ward."
"Wow, great! Oh, didn't you come to the hospital only for a short time? They don't have internship in VVIP ward!" The guy scratched his head and looked at her with doubt.
Angela realized that she had said something wrong. So, she said, "Don't tell others!"
The guy understood immediately what she meant. "Okay. I swear I'll not tell others! They said you are Angela Si, right?"
"Yes. What's your name?" Since he looked very honest, Angela asked him.
"I'm Croton!"
"Ha ha! Really? Did I heard something wrong?" Angela couldn't help laughing. Actually, she really laughed a lot!
Croton scratched his head, "My name is Croton, C-R-O-T-O-N!"
"Well. Isn't croton a kind of plant used to treat constipation?" It was a rare name!
Croton looked at her with a worshipful expression and said, "Yes. You are right."
"It really is! Well, Croton, do you often feel a stomachache?" She was obviously playing jokes.
Croton said confidently, "Not at all. I'm from the countryside and I have a healthy body!"
"Well. That's great! Your parents are interesting!"
Croton felt a little shy and took a swig of his beer. "Can I call you Angela?"
"Of course! They all call me Angela!" Actually, many people called her Angela and it didn't bother her very much.
"Well. Angela, it's nice to meet you. Let's have a toast!"
Angela looked at Randal, who was talking with Director Liu. The director was amused. He had a great laugh!
She couldn't depend on Randal. So, she had to pick up the beer, "Well, I'm bad at drinking. Can I drink just a little?"
Croton shook his head, "Never mind. If you're bad at drinking, don't drink. It's okay."
His words made Angela feel warm, "Well, since you said that, I can have a drink!"
They proposed a toast and Angela drank a mouthful of beer.
However, some colleagues who had a close relationship with Randal came here with beer in their hands and started drinking.
As his girlfriend, Angela was obliged to drink beer and it seemed like Randal didn't want to help her. Therefore, she had to drink as much as possible.
