Rick's words were full of concern, and Nancy found it hard to refuse.
'TH think about it, okay?" Nancy asked.
She still needed time to think about it.
"No, Nancy. I know many hospitals are fighting for you now, so I have to get you first. You have to agree!" It was surprising to hear Rick speak in a domineering tone.
Nancy didn't know that he had the tendency to be bossy too.
"I..." To be honest, Nancy really didn't know what to say. She didn't like to rush things, but she also didn't like to disappoint him.
"What? Don't you need to work? No, Nancy, I know you too well. You can't live without work, and I'm more than willing to hire you. Do you still want to refuse?"
With a helpless smile, Nancy said, "Rick, you are being unreasonable."
"How can I take you over if I am reasonable?" It was only then that Rick remembered the flowers he was holding. "These are for you."
"Thank you." Although she felt a little hesitant, Nancy had no choice but to take the flowers.
"Since you've accepted my flowers, you have to work in my hospital. I'll take your luggage with me. Don't worry. Our hospital also provides accommodation for our employees. It is more spacious and comfortable than here." Without waiting for her reply, Rick took her luggage near the bed.
"Rick, aren't you a bit excited? Look at me." Since she just woke up, she was still in her pajamas. She didn't even get the chance to wash her face or brush her teeth.
"Well, I'll take your luggage out. Go get changed. I'll wait for you outside." Then he walked out with her luggage.
What else could she say? It seemed like she didn't have a choice to say no.
In the end, she took a quick bath and get dressed.
The moment Nancy stepped out of the hotel room, Rick straightened his back.
"Nancy, you are so beautiful!" His eyes were full of admiration as he stared at Nancy who was wearing a purple wool dress, a black cashmere overcoat paired with black boots. She looked stunning and elegant.
"I didn't know you can be this sweet." Seeing the look on his face, Nancy couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Well, you really don't know me yet, Nancy. I've always been sweet. You'll know in the future. Let's go." Like a gentleman, Rick let her walk first and then he followed, carrying her luggage.
The two of them didn't go straight to Rick's hospital. He took her first to a newly-opened Chinese restaurant, which sold the best pie he had ever tried.
"The snacks here are famous. Would you like to give them a try?" Although Rick had already stopped the car in front of the restaurant, he still asked for Nancy's opinion. If she didn't like it here, they could go somewhere else.
'Tm not picky when it comes to breakfast. Anything is okay." Nancy gave him a small smile.
Most of the time, the doctors could barely eat a proper meal. Their job demanded so much time. Even when they had estimated the length of the operation, it was not always accurate.
Therefore, it made Nancy neglect her meals.
"If you say so, I will be very disappointed, Nancy." Pretending to be sad, Rick slightly pouted his lips.
"Well, it's just breakfast. I'm not so picky about it. Let's go." To prove that she didn't mind eating in this restaurant, Nancy got out of the car first.
Shaking his head, Rick followed. As soon as he stood beside Nancy, he smiled and held her arm.
"Rick, people might misunderstand what you're doing." Nancy tried to pull her arm away, but he didn't let her go.
Afraid of attracting other people's attention, Nancy gave up struggling and just lowered her head.
"Nancy, you are a free person now. Don't be so reserved, okay? You and Charles are not married. What are you afraid of?" Rick asked in a low voice.
