The secretary was stunned and she was rooted to the spot as her phone was taken away from her.
"Password."
At the sound of that word, the secretary, Iris, recited a string of numbers.
After the phone was unlocked, it automatically played the news scene from earlier.
The video was taken on the second floor of the hospital. The video was very clear. In the middle, two people were confronting each other. The person wearing a white coat was a tall and slim female doctor. It was Everleigh.
The man was standing before her with a knife swinging left and right in his hand.
Everleigh suddenly threw her white coat away after hearing whatever the drunkard said. As she spoke, she walked towards the drunkard. Theodore's eyes flashed, and his cold face suddenly tensed up. He had a terrible expression on his face.
The video was showing how the drunkard rushed up to her with a knife in his hand as Everleigh turned back.
"If you want to watch the full video, download the app..."
At that critical moment, the video suddenly ended. In the next second, an advertisement for the app popped up. Theodore's face darkened and Iris trembled. Her face turned completely pale.
"What happened in the news?"
"Huh?" Iris was still in a daze.
Moses came up from behind Theodore and asked, "He's asking you, what happened in the news? How's Dr. Trevino?"
"I... I don't know." Iris's face was so pale, and she was stuttering. "The news didn't reveal much..."
That was what happened last night, and it was not reported by the media. Some of the patients in the hospital recorded the video and uploaded it early that morning. That was how the news spread and they had no idea what actually happened.
The cell phone was left on the administration desk.
"Mr. Godfrey..."
Moses hurriedly followed Theodore, but he couldn't catch up at all. After the elevator door was closed, he stopped helplessly. He sighed silently as he watched Theodore disappear.
Iris, who was behind him finally came back to her senses and almost cried as she pulled a long face. "Mr. Lawson, am I fired?"
Moses turned around and saw how bitter the new secretary, Iris, looked. He sighed and said, "Mr. Godfrey can't be bothered with you now. Look at June, she's much calmer than you." June took a mirror and began to touch her makeup up calmly behind the administrative counter as Theodore left. She was completely unaffected by what happened as if she had gotten used to it.
When June saw Iris and Moses looking at her, she put down the makeup and said lightly, "Dr. Trevino's business is the priority. With Dr. Trevino in the picture, Mr. Godfrey can't care less about us."
Iris had been around for only a few days and had not met Everleigh. At the moment, she was confused. She asked as she cried, "Who is Dr. Trevino? Does she have anything to do with me being fired?"
Moses and his cousin June looked at each other and exchanged a knowing look. Moses said, "It has a lot to do with you."
The two of them could tell, even though Theodore was very powerful in Ocpeace City, he would flip every time he met this first girlfriend of his. It did not matter who they offended, as long as it was not Dr. Trevino.
It was already noon.
Everleigh and Christopher had a late shift the day before, so they rested for half a day that morning. They only arrived at the hospital at almost 11. They made two bowls of instant noodles and ate them in Christopher's office.
Jenny knocked on the door and came in with information. "Dr. Meyer, this is your surgical schedule for this afternoon."
"Okay, just put it there."
