Chapter 25 - Someone's coming?

"Another two doctors? From where?"

"They are foreigners, just like Dr. Rin. Both are from the same country."

"I know one of them. He was there at the hospital in which I used to work before. He is quite good-looking, to be honest."

"Hey, but I've heard that there are two of them and both are equally talented."

"Yeah? Then that's good!"

A few female doctors kept chatting among themselves about new doctors joining them from next week.

"Lunch break is already over! You guys can continue your gossip next time. We need to get going. We have a meeting today, remember?" Ae Rin stopped at their bench.

"Right. We will get going." They said as they walked along with Ae Rin to the meeting.

*At the meeting*

"We are intending to acquire an advanced technology to cure brain cancer with a much higher rate of success..." Dr. Daniel, the President of the hospital introduced and explained about the technology through presentations.

After the presentation was over, he turned to face the others, " As you may know by now, two talented doctors are going to join us by next week. They are, in fact, foreigners of the same country as our Dr. Rin. So, I think it would be best for me to assign them to her to show them around the hospital and etc since they are of similar country."

All of them stared at Ae Rin and one of them spoke up, "Sir, are they as talented and hard working as Dr. Rin?"

"We will judge them by their performance after they arrive. Dr. Rin? Please make sure they are familiar to this hospital. It will be a difficult job, but I hope I can leave that to you." The President smiled expectantly.

Ae Rin smiled and nodded in response.

After the meeting, they all headed in their separate directions.

"Ah...I guess I will go grab a sandwich or something from the canteen." She freed herself from her scrubs and hummed as she headed to the canteen.

On the way, she heard a few nurses and doctors talking about the new doctors among themselves.

Their attention gradually shifted from their topic to Ae Rin who was lazily walking past them.

One of them grabbed her by the arm and dragged her into the conversation.

"Weren't you supposed to be with them? I heard that both of them are very handsome and talented. You are very lucky!" One of them said.

Ae Rin sighed and replied, "Do I look like I care? All I wanna know is if they are as talented as people say them to be. If they aren't, I really don't care."

"You are one hell of a cold, icy queen, just as they say." The other rolled her eyes.

"H-hey! Don't say that infront of her!" One of them panicked.

"No use of hiding. I know all about what everyone calls me. 'Pale ghost', 'Cold, icy queen' , 'the devil' , 'Beauty but the beast', '...I am actually kinda shocked how you can bring up such names. And all of these names were the work of Gale, am I right?" She smiled slyly and looked at him.

"Wow....how do you even know all of that?!" Gale and the rest of them were baffled.

"What else can you expect from the devil?" She smirked again and left them in their bewildered state.

"I have heard that those two doctors have very troublesome attitudes." One of the nurses said.

"We don't have to worry about that. We know who's the boss here. No one can outwin the devil of this hospital." Gale smiled proudly as his gaze shifted to Ae Rin who was now walking towards the canteen.
