The two of them stood there staring at each other for several seconds.
Eventually, it was because the sunlight outside was a bit dazzling, so the nurse standing by the window blinked first.
“Quinn, what are you doing?”
Quinn was quick to react. He awkwardly chuckled a few times before swiftly coming up with a reasonable excuse for himself.
“Cough… I saw some trash fall to the ground, so I pick it up.”
“By the way, I heard that Miss Lawrence is a clean freak and requires her office to be cleaned every day, and the trash bin also needs to be emptied properly.”
“Since I’ll pass by the transfer station on my way back to the dorm later, why not let me dump the trash for you, consider it as your reward for answering my questions?”
The shy nurse nodded in agreement, her impression of Quinn getting better.
Observing the luxury watch on his wrist, probably from Vacheron Constantin, she speculated that he was a well-off second-generation, actually willing to help her with the trash. Did he… have a crush on her?
The nurse, who had never been in a relationship before, suddenly felt a pleasant mood, her smile naive.
“Alright, let me solve your puzzles now.”
Quinn was absent-minded, only concerned about the bag of trash.
He didn’t listen to a word the nurse said as he hastily carried the bag of trash and made his escape. In the end, he replied casually, “You are so good, I finally understood,” and quickly carried the bag of garbage.
In the office, the nurse watched his departing figure with a spring in her step, further solidifying her speculation.
“He… does he really like me? How should I handle this now?”
Should she reject him?
After all, he was two years younger than her.
But then she thought about Quinn’s good looks and wealthy background, so she decided to give it a try.
Just as she was about to lock the door, a muffled sound echoed from a distance, getting closer.
Clack, clack, clack…
It was the sound of high heels on the white marble floor, rhythmic and melodic.
The nurse turned to look.
Sure enough, at the end of the corridor, a black figure was approaching, a woman with graceful curves.
Her fair skin appeared even whiter under the black dress, even several shades whiter than the surrounding walls.
Her long hair swayed lazily with her steps, bathed in sunlight, the flaxen strands with a faint golden glow.
Her enchanting features smiled lightly, a lollipop in her mouth, the taste so delicious that it made her squint with enjoyment.
The person was Cheyenne, who had just returned from Hurtlepool.
As for Sean, she had taken him to the psychiatric hospital because Nora’s follow-up report was from there.
Worried that he would be harassed, Cheyenne personally took him there. She knew the director of the psychiatric hospital from gaming and they had a decent relationship.
In general, a patient’s medical records, including examination reports, are confidential hospital documents that can only be accessed by the police and the patients themselves.
But when Cheyenne intervened, nothing they said would stop her from looking for things.
She had skipped work in the morning and arrived half an hour late in the afternoon, feeling embarrassed as she touched her nose.
Being late was better than being absent, so she showed her dedication by coming to work.
As she walked up to her office, she saw Lilah sitting there with flushed cheeks, staring into space as if in a daze. Cheyenne waved her hand in front of Lilah, but she didn’t snap out of it.
“Lilah, what’s going on with you?” Cheyenne asked.
Lilah simply smiled sweetly.
Cheyenne thought to herself, “Oh no, is this girl hypnotized by my charm? It’s all my fault for being so charming and irresistible.”
Kelvin had also complimented her dress, so maybe she should start wearing pants to work after this.
“Lilah! I’m back. Is there anything important this afternoon?” Cheyenne raised her voice, finally bringing Lilah out of her trance. Lilah blushed even more, turning as red as a traffic light at a crossroads. She shyly lowered her head and softly replied, “N-no… nothing important. Just… Dr. Barnes came to see you twice.”
“Oh, what did he want?” Cheyenne suddenly remembered something important – today was exam day! Dr. Barnes must have come to deliver her exam papers.
“Alright, I got it. Go to Dr. Barnes’s office and tell him I’m back. Also, bring me the exam papers,” Cheyenne instructed Lilah.
“Yes.”
After a moment of contemplation, Cheyenne decided to give Lilah some advice. She reached out and patted Lilah’s shoulder before saying mysteriously, “I am a woman who loves men. Don’t overthink things and focus on work, alright?”
Lilah, who had just graduated two years ago and was chosen by Cheyenne as her assistant for being obedient and innocent, subconsciously agreed to her boss’s orders.
“Yes!”
Cheyenne smiled satisfactorily with her eyes half closed, looking like a proud and aloof cat.
She then turned and entered her office, closing the door behind her to take a break.
Meanwhile, Lilah, still confused by Miss Lawrence’s words, finally pieced together their conversation as she stood outside the closed office door.
“What does Miss Lawrence mean by telling me to focus on work and not overthink things? Could she have noticed that the younger student likes me?”
Feeling a tinge of danger, Lilah, who already faced jealousy due to her position in the hospital and owed her role as the director’s assistant to Miss Lawrence, worried about the consequences of her romantic involvement and decided to keep her distance from the younger student, opting to heed the director’s advice and concentrate on work.
A few minutes later, the exam papers were delivered to Cheyenne’s desk from Dr. Barnes’ office.
After placing the papers down, Lilah hurriedly left the room.
Cheyenne had thought of giving her a candy, but when she looked up, Lilah was already gone.
“Forget it, I’ll give this to Oliver to eat. It’s candy bought by his little uncle.”
