After Everleigh finished diagnosing the patients, she came back only to find Christopher alone in the office.
Everleigh sat down behind her desk and asked casually, "He left?"
"Who?" Christopher raised his eyes from behind the magazine and asked knowingly.
"Don't mess with me. You know who I'm talking about."
"Why are you so angry?" Christopher put his leg down from the coffee table and forced himself to sit up straight. He tugged on the white coat he had on and said, "He left a long time ago."
"He didn't say anything to you, did he?"
"What else can he say? It's obvious that he came for you. As soon as you left, he just said two words and left."
Everleigh was deep in thought, but her eyes were wandering on the computer screen, so she didn't probe further.
"What are your thoughts on becoming a private doctor?"
Christopher's voice brought her back to her senses.
"I was about to tell you."
"Well, what's on your mind?"
"I've decided to accept your proposal."
Christopher nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you with this later."
Everleigh looked at him and asked, "Why aren't you asking me about what I'm thinking?"
"What else can you be thinking about? You must have thought it through multiple times before discovering that my suggestion was the most reliable. You've been convinced by my wit, and can no longer find a better suggestion..."
"Shut up."
Everleigh glared at him angrily and suddenly remembered something else. "Where are my instant noodles?"
She had two cups of instant noodles here before she left. They were both hers. Christopher insisted on taking the beef flavoured instant noodles, but there was still another one!
Christopher suddenly stood up and left. "I remember that I have to go to the clinic. I'll go first.".
"Christopher, how could you? You took my instant noodles!"
Everleigh threw a paper ball and it hit the door, but Christopher was long gone.
As she was infuriated, Everleigh caught a glimpse of something under the file beside her. When she opened it, she saw a blue take- out thermal insulation bag. There were two boxes of sushi in it.
When she saw the sushi, her anger dissipated completely. She muttered bashfully, "Why does he have to go through the trouble every time?"
It was already late in the afternoon and the scorching sun was suddenly covered by dark clouds after two.
Thunder roared and heavy rain poured in Ocpeace City.
It rained very frequently at this time of the year. After September, it was autumn in Ocpeace City. At that time, the golden sycamore trees would replace the scented sporangia. It was the most eye-catching view in the entire city.
The heavy raindrops hit the windows, annoying the people in the room.
A gentle female voice could be heard from the phone. "Nothing much. I just want to ask if Theodore is busy today. Madam said that she wants to have dinner together tonight."
Moses politely replied from the other end of the phone. "Miss Bailey, I'm really sorry but Mr. Godfrey is still in a meeting. I'm afraid that he doesn't have time tonight. Later, Mr. Godfrey will call Madam to explain in person. He won't make things difficult for you."
