Chapter 40 - Tempered list

"Doctor, I think doctor Li tempered with the list." When he raised his brows, she explained, "I was at his office an hour ago and I saw him making some slight changes."

"Li tempered with the list? For what good reason?"

"Well doctor Kim, I have no idea." Pausing for a while, the other nurse added, "I was present at the meeting earlier and I heard him discussing about some random changes of new assistants."

Without saying anything, Dong-Hyun annoyingly made his way towards the elevator.

.....

When he got out of the elevator, he bumped into doctor Li.

Giving him a smiling face, Li tuckled his hands into his coat's pockets, "Ah, doctor Kim, what's with the scowl on the face?"

Gritting his teeths, he narrowed his eyes, "Who gave you the delegated power to temper with the list, my list?"

Li gulped in anxiousness when he saw the Aura on his face, "I was just trying to make some slight changes."

"For what specific reason?"

"Doctor, we've been using that list for quite sometime now and–"

"Doctor Li, am not talking about why you literally changed the list but making Chung-Cha your new assistant on the billboard is not funny." He snapped.

"Oh you mean Ms. Jong?" Letting out an awkward chuckle, he added, "Actually, she's new here so I decided to put her in an assistant position. You know–" Shrugging his shoulders, "Just to give a try to see if she's capable of upgrades and promotion."

Raising his brows, he scoffed and crossed his arms, "Wow, nice one, Li. You wanted to see if she's capable, right? Why don't you see if you're capable of stealing someone else's partner."

Scrunching his brows, he remarked, "But doctor Kim, you where the one who referred her as an outsider and a freelancer in health education. You said she's not in a relationship."

"Then you chose to get intimate with her by making her your assistant?" Without waiting for his reply, he snapped, "You're working beneath me, I'm the president of this entire hospital and you better stay far from Chung-Cha if you love your job."

"Yes doctor,"

Without saying anything, Dong-Hyun made his way towards the elevator.

After pressing the button and the elevator slides aside, he saw Chung-Cha with a shocking expression. Chung-Cha was on her way to get some medical reports from the president floor.

Quickly, she started bumping the button for several times, but before the door could slide back to its position, Dong-Hyun rushed in.

...

Inside the elevator

Trying to avoid his gaze, she turned her face aside and started fidgeting with her fingers.

"Why are you avoiding me?"

"What? Avoid–no am not." She faked a smile and slowly turned her head towards the wall. Frowning weirdly, she mouthed, "Why the hell is he here? Couldn't he wait for the next elevator."

"Are you still mad at me?"

Startled by the sudden question, she widen her eyes and turned towards him, "M–Mad at you? No doctor, I can't be mad at my boss, for what known reasons?"

"Then explain to me why you wanted to elevate faster when you saw me?" When she hesitated, he held her both hands in his, "I know you're scared of me after what happened at the mansion earlier. I want to sincerely apologize again. I'm a fool to–"

Cutting him off, she covered his mouth with one of her hand, "Shh, please stop calling yourself all sort of weird names just because of a random mistake. Every brother in your shoes would have done what you did today, so please don't blame yourself."

Taking her hand off his mouth, he shook his head, "Yes I–"

"Nurse Tracy and Nurse Minji told me you scolded them for the change of list. I guess you did the same to doctor Li because he was the one responsible for the changes."

"Yes I did," Trying to act bossy, he frowned rather stating the true reasons why he scolded them, "How would he do such a thing? That wasn't right and moreover making you his new assistant."

Chung-Cha chuckled and inquired, "Doctor, do you have a problem with that? I mean, any doctors here could decide who his assistants is gonna. It doesn't mean and–"
