Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

She never realized Euan would be so fast in picking up calls the moment she made the call. Since the call had been picked up, she decided to bite the bullet and speak. “Anything wrong?” Before even started to speak, Euan’s deep and mellow voice was heard.

There was the crispy sound of paper flipping in the background, indicating he was still at work. Riley took a deep breath and stared at the tip of her toes. She fiddled with the corner of her white coat with one hand and said, “I’ve seen Lydia’s pregnancy report, there’s no problem of it.”

Euan who was in the office was holding a signature pen, his movement stopped when he was about to write something. “I get it.” Having received his curt reply, Riley suddenly did not know how to continue further. She bit her lip. Should she just hang up like that, or should she wait for him to hang up? Riley did not speak, nor did Euan.

Euan seemed to have forgotten he was in a phone call. The sound of him writing was heard and there was the sound of something clanking with each other. During the silence, she could hear his rhythmic and long breathing sound. His breathing was connected to his heartbeat. She could even discern the rhythm of his heartbeat. His heart was beating regularly and strongly.

“Anything more?” After half a minute had passed, he broke the silence once again. All of a sudden, a thought sparked in Riley’s mind and she replied, “Oh yes, Hendrix has come to the hospital today. He said he wanted to do a body checkup because he wants to apply for schools.”

Euan lifted his eyebrows and he placed his hands flat on the surface of the desk. He leaned back against the office chair slightly lethargically and said, “I know that, anything else?” Riley lowered her head more and more. Damn, had she lost her ability to think? “No.”

A fierce look flashed across Euan’s face. Did she call him just to talk about someone else’s matter? He felt a rush of unhappiness. He hung up without hesitant the moment she said no. It was too sudden that Riley did not manage to respond.

From her memory, he was the one who always hung up first whenever she called him, and there was no exception. That recognition had made her quite uncomfortable. And she would not know that the moment she took her phone, Hendrix was standing beside the stairs and was watching her attentively through the crowds while hiding behind the pot plants.

His hands were shoved into the pockets of his torn off jeans. He had witnessed the way her expressions changed from longing to nervous, and from hesitancy to disappointment. Although he had no idea who the person she was talking to on phone, it was conceivable the person who was able to make her experienced such a complicated change in mood in just two minutes must have an unusual relationship with her. Could it be his big brother?

Riley exhaled and put her phone into her pocket. She frowned when she saw the bandage on her knee again. How long would the wound want to hold her back?

“Doctor Watson, are you a wonder woman? Don’t you need to have your lunch?” Hendrix’s frivolous voice was heard from the main hall and he was walking like a typical rich playboy. He came to her front in just a short while and the tall and lean young man was wearing a cheerful smile. “Why aren’t you leaving yet?” It had already been late.

Hendrix pouted and scratched his forehead. “I do want to leave earlier, but the doctors at your hospital are too inefficient and my time is delayed. Since we’ve met at the right time and at the right place, let’s have lunch together!”

“I’m going to the employee’s canteen, you can have lunch yourself.”
