Rachel had to take a breather, she was exhausted by what had just happened.
They weren't exposed to the ensuing commotion due to their distance from that location.
Mathias walked into the waiting room where Rachel was resting, he knew she wasn't used to such things judging by her facial expression.
"Here…" Mathias said, handing her a beverage which she accepted with full gratitude.
"Thank you, Doctor Mathias," Rachel said, trying to maintain a level of professionalism.
She didn't want to blur the lines that separated their dynamic from becoming too friendly.
"You can call me Mathias, you know?" The man said, taking a seat right beside Rachel.
"I'm sure you didn't slave away in med school only to be called by your first name," Rachel fired back, justifying her stance as she took a sip from the beverage handed to her.
