“Who said that you are going to resign?” Suddenly a voice of a man erupted at Doctor Reyes’s office.
They all turned their heads and saw the man’s figure wearing expensive office attire while crossing his arms and leaning at the door. They did not know that he heard everything they said including Luna’s decision about resigning from work.
“Who are you? And ooh, he has a handsome face” The head nurse said then laughed, she already forgot that she was in a serious moment.
Liza who also saw his face got mesmerized by the man’s looks. He was the man who’s with Luna before at the parking lot during the Board Examination.
What is he doing here?
“Mister Frost,” Doctor Reyes said. The doctor knew Maximus because he is also one of the investors in the hospital. A shareholder who got the second biggest share.
Liza remembered that Sally told her about Sarah’s Frost being admitted at the VIP ward.
So, he is Sarah? No. Sarah is the name of a girl. Maybe he got another name. A lot of things went inside Liza’s thoughts. She needs to do something about this man.
“Mister Frost, this nurse might dirt the reputation of Lucas Hospital because of these scandal photos” Liza handed him their photo. He saw that they were both laughing, and they looked like a couple in the photo. Maximus wanted to smile because of the angelic smile Luna.
Maximus looked at Liza. She wanted to ruin Luna by spreading false information. Liza and her plan were a common thing that always happened in showbiz and the business world. That is why Maximus will never believe in something like this.
This woman wants Luna to lose her job.
“There is nothing wrong with the photo,” Maximus said after looking at the photo. He even likes how Luna smiles at the photo. It means that at that time, she was happy with him.
“There is nothing wrong with the photo?! Of course, there is. Luna was flirting with a VIP patient” Liza explained but Maximus glared at her because of what she said about Luna.
“I am the man in the photo. I think there is something wrong with the hospital security system. I even got a nice photo with my woman” he suddenly looked at Luna who got a worried face the whole time.
“Y-you are the man in the photo?” The head nurse stuttered. She was looking at a handsome man. She cannot even take her eyes away from him.
They were all surprised because of what Maximus said. He said that Luna was his woman. Then it means they are in a relationship.
Luna got embarrassed. Even though what Maximus said is not true, she cannot help herself but keep her mouth shut.
“I think there is nothing wrong if I flirt with my woman, right? Besides, I can track who was behind all of these in just a blink of an eye. I can make sure that she will suffer double, no… maybe triple, and I will put her in a miserable situation, right Sally?” while saying those. He was looking at Liza with sharp eyes. It made Liza shiver.
How… How did he find out?
Outside the VIP ward, there is Sally, peeking again. She was surprised when he heard what Maximus said. She was caught again by this man. What’s worse is that he already knew who was behind all of these. She was scared that she immediately opened the office door and pointed her finger at Liza.
She remembered everything that Luna did for her. Luna always saves her when she is in a hard situation. She was always there for her. How could she betray her only friend? She is like a big sister to her. She protects her whenever she is in danger. Telling her stories and secrets means she trusted her. She realized that she was wrong. It is her turn to protect her only friend and that is to tell them the truth.
She is ready to speak the truth.
“It is her fault” Sally pointed to Liza.
“What are you saying Nurse Sally?” the head nurse asked.
“She asked me to know the information about the VIP ward, and if not, she is going to make sure that I will lose my job. I did protect Luna. I even say that it was me who is taking care of Mister Frost, so she will not lay a hand on her, but I failed. I did not know that everything she asked me to do was for scheming Luna. I am so sorry Luna. I failed you” Sally burst into tears.
The truth finally came out. They were all looking at Liza. This time, Maximus was smiling evilly. He only wanted to call Sally because she was following him. He did not know that she knew the truth. She even pointed out his number one suspect.
“Would you like to explain yourself, Ms. Ferrer?” Maximus said with a serious tone.
“N-no, that’s all lies. That nurse made lies to team up with Luna” Liza defended herself but everyone inside the room did not believe her. When she thought that everyone knew the truth, she attacked Sally, but Luna stopped her and slapped her.
A loud sound echoed inside the room when Luna’s palm landed on Liza’s face.
“This time, you lose Liza. Do not hurt my friend, never again” Luna pushed Liza away from Sally. She helped Sally to stand up and wiped her tears. Her friend suffered because of her but Sally fought for her.
Luna thought that Sally did not fail to save her. Even though she knew that she might lose her job if she spoke up the truth, she still did the right thing and saved her. She cleared her name. That time, Luna felt for the first time that she was saved by her true friend.
“Ms. Ferrer, I will make sure that Shawn and his family will hear this news, and as for you Sally, thank you for telling the truth. If you lose your job, just contact me right away and I will give you a better job with higher salaries” Maximus said in a serious tone.
He walked towards Luna and grabbed her hands. They walked out of the office and left the rest in shock.
