"Everyone knows about the famous orthopedic expert and that's you. Right, Nancy?" Rick said with a smile.
Nancy was almost floating in the air, being praised by her idol. She responded shyly, "Thank you for your praise."
"You're welcome. Tell me something about your patient, " Rick requested with a smile.
"Okay." In order to let Rick see and understand more accurately, Nancy brought Nana's medical record and sat down beside Rick. "This is my patient's medical record. She had a trauma, which is the reason why she might suffer from a little mental problem. She is not like herself anymore, alas."
Nancy carefully explained Nana's condition to Rick in detail. When Rick reached out to take the medical record from her, his hand accidentally touched the coffee cup. It tripped and fell on the table spilling all over Nancy.
Rick panicked at the sudden accident. He hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped the coffee stains off Nancy's clothes.
"I'm sorry, Nancy. I didn't mean to ruin your dress," Rick apologized.
Nancy didn't mind it. She knew it happened in the spur of the moment. Rick didn't do it on purpose.
Nancy responded generously, "Don't worry, Rick. It's fine. Accident can happen all the time. It doesn't mean you're responsible for it. It's okay. I'll go home and change my clothes." "No, don't go home like this. Your dress is completely ruined. Wait until I get someone to buy you a new dress." Rick felt like he had done something very shameful. So he asked his assistant to buy a new dress for Nancy.
Although Nancy refused at the beginning, Rick insisted. Nancy reluctantly agreed to accept the dress from him and told her clothes' size.
Meanwhile, outside the door, Charles was being extremely angry and impatient.
In fact, he had collected all the information about Rick before coming here.
The more Charles thought about it, the more stressed he felt. It was frustrating for him to admit that all the men that Nancy knew were so excellent.
In Charles' mind there was only one thing, jealousy. Since Nancy came in his life, he considered all the excellent men in the world as his enemies.
He didn't even understand since when he became like this, so narrow-minded?
Charles felt restless watching Nancy with Rick.
When he saw Rick wiping off the coffee stains from Nancy's dress, jealousy didn't let him settle down. He clenched his fists in anger. All he wanted right now was to rush in and kick Rick away from Nancy.
However, he knew that he simply couldn't do that. He couldn't appear in front of Nancy at the moment.
He needed to refrain himself from doing something hastily. Although, Charles believed in Nancy and knew Rick was a gentleman and not greedy for beauty, he just couldn't seem to find peace.
Going insane, Charles lit up a cigarette, finished it, and then lit another one. He didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked while Nancy was still talking to Rick.
It left Charles speechless when Rick bought clothes for Nancy.
He was so annoyed with their interaction.
What made Charles more annoyed was that Nancy changed in to the beige cashmere dress in the cloakroom without hesitation. Beige was Nancy's favorite color. Did she tell Rick about her color preference?
Otherwise, how could Rick know that she liked beige?
