"Angela, what happened to you? You look unhappy." Lucy curiously looked at Angela who was in a low spirit. Angela was always cheerful. She was rarely seen in a bad mood.
Angela shook her head and answered, "I didn't have a good rest last night. Now, I want to go to the changing room and change my clothes first!"
"Don't rush! Angela, have you heard of Nita Zhen?" Lucy stopped her again.
Angela was about to shake her head, but when she understood what Lucy planned to say, she nodded.
"Do you know? Nita will work in our hospital. It is a big news. Have you known it?" This news spread all around their hospital and almost all of them knew it. It seemed like only Angela, who asked for leave in last few days, didn't know it.
Angela looked at Lucy who was very excited and cheerful. She didn't want to hit her good mood so she showed a bit of interest in the conversation and replied, "Really? When will she come to our hospital? Does she work in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department?"
"Yes! It is real! She will come here in the next week! She is an authority and expert on obstetrics and gynecology. She must work in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department!"
"Well. All right. I know it and I want to go first!" Angela has heard of Nita's name so many times, but she never saw her in person. She was not interested at her except in her ability, which she really admired.
It seemed that Angela was uncomfortable, so Lucy didn't bother her this time.
Angela called Nancy when she got into the changing room. Nancy asked for leave today which made Angela upset. She could not tell Nancy about her confusion and annoyance to Arvin's actions. She had to bear this problem alone.
Everything went well at work. Supposedly, Xenia was scheduled to be on duty tonight. However, she had to deal with some family emergency, so she approached Angela and changed shifts with her.
Angela had nothing to do at home, so she agreed to stay in the hospital to be on duty.
About 11 o'clock in the evening, almost all the people on night shift have already left. Angela was feeling sleepy as she stayed at the nurse station.
"Angela? Angela..."
It seemed like someone was calling her name. Angela opened her eyes and found a man standing in front of her.
After a few seconds, Angela recognized the man who was smiling at her. He was Kent, Arvin's assistant.
"Angela, are you awake?" Angela looked so lovely when she was in a dizzy state. Kent could not help but chuckle at the sight of Angela.
She nodded immediately and tried very hard to open her eyes wide. "Hello, Mr. Jiang!"
Thinking of his reason for coming here, Kent took out an exquisite tote bag and handed it over to Angela. "Mr. Gu wanted to give this to you."
Angela didn't know if she should accept it. She probably knew what was in it.
Last night, Arvin send her a few messages on WeChat. Arvin has already expressed that he would start staying away from her. How could she accept it in this case?
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, but I couldn't accept this. Please help me return it to Mr. Gu."
Arvin warned Kent of a possibility that Angela might refuse the gift, so he instructed him of what to say to her. "Miss Si, a man must do what he says. Mr. Gu wanted to let you know that this gift has already belonged to you and it is at your disposal."
'Arvin even didn't give her the right to refuse?' Angela thought to herself.
Because of this, she lost her temper. She took the tote bag and threw it to the garbage. Kent was able to see what she did.
"All right. I have dealt with it. Mr. Jiang, you can go back!"
Kent glanced at the tote bag inside the garbage. He could not help but remind Angela, "Miss Si, the thing inside the bag was invaluable..."
"I know! However, I don't want to accept. Of course, you can pick it up and bring it back to Arvin"
Angela had firmly grasped on her clothes to prevent herself from picking it up.
Kent shook his head. "All right, Miss Si. I'm leaving!"
"Okay. Bye, Mr. Jiang!"
...
It was so quiet in the nurse station but Angela didn't want to sleep this time. She was staring at the tote bag which was in the garbage.
