The Doctor And The CEO

Chapter 267 - What Is Happening Here?



"Don\'t take advantage of the fact that your daughter loves you so much." James warned his son.

"I am not dad, I just believe Jimmy is better for my daughter"

"How could you? Daniel saved you from Ethan and brought you home safely. Aren\'t you grateful to him?"

"I am dad, but that doesn\'t mean I am going to give my daughter away to him"

"Will, please reconsider it" Catherine begged him and she was almost on the verge of tears.

"Why are you crying?" Will looked shocked as he didn\'t expect Catherine to start crying over this.

"Rachel told me she likes Daniel and I really wished for them to be together. I want Rachel as my daughter-in-law and it doesn\'t matter to me if she marries Jim. But she loves Daniel, and because of you she is sacrificing her love"

"Okay, okay, calm down. I was kidding. I really like Daniel and don\'t mind Rachel being with him" Will gave up on his act as he didn\'t wish for his best friend to cry.

"Thank you" Catherine wiped the tears off her face and looked grateful but then she turned to Rachel and winked at her. She leaned towards the surprised girl and whispered, "That\'s how you get things done your way."

Rachel was surprised when she realized Catherine pretended to cry but she was impressed by her act.

"Please, don\'t you ever cry for something so silly" Will calmly consoled Catherine.

"Then don\'t you ever talk nonsense like this" Cat warned him.

"Okay fine" Will gave up in front of her while Harry helplessly shook his head wondering how come Will always falls into Catherine\'s trap of fake tears.



After finishing his work, Daniel headed out when he came across Matt.

"Oh, done early today Dr Daniel?" Matt greeted him.

"Yeah, when you have capable interns working under you, work finishes faster." Daniel joked with him.

He was just back from Ireland so he didn\'t schedule any operations for Monday, and his schedule was free.

"How are the two interns doing?" Matt asked him.

"As I just stated, highly capable."

"Who is more capable, Lisa or Steve?"

"Both are equally good. I won\'t compare them" Daniel clearly told him.

Matt was sure Daniel would never differentiate between his interns.

"Fine, I wonder what they are doing now" It came out naturally even before Matt could control himself.

"They are studying one patient\'s case. Her operation is scheduled for tomorrow and they will be assisting me tomorrow." Daniel heard him and casually answered him.

"Both, together?" Matt was surprised as only one intern usually assists them.

"Why not?" Daniel questioned him back and Matt had no answer to it.

"Dan, you go ahead, I forgot something so need to get it, don\'t wait for me" Matt instructed Daniel and left from there.

Daniel smiled seeing his retreating back, \'I hope you get what you want\' He thought to himself and called Rachel.

Meanwhile, Matt went to the room Lisa usually sits in.

There is a separate room for all interns where they study between their duties as they simultaneously prepare for other exams.

When Matt opened the door, he saw only Lisa was present there reading something from a file. She was sitting on a stool facing the other side of the wall, therefore her back was facing him.

"Come here, see what I found out" Lisa called the person who just entered assuming it to be Steve as he just went out to grab a cup of coffee.

Matt didn\'t say a word and just stepped towards her and stood behind her.

"Look over here" She pointed somewhere in the file, Matt leaned down to read whatever she was pointing at.

His face was too close to hers and she could feel his hot breath on her skin.

Lisa froze on her spot and wondered why Steve was acting like this as just a day before, they decided to get over their feelings while helping each other.

Also, it felt really weird as Steve would never act like this.

Confused, Lisa was about to turn around when she heard a hoarse voice which stunned her.

"Hmm, this patient can\'t be given anesthesia due to her allergy, that is why Daniel needs one more intern in the room to handle the patient in case of an emergency" Matt commented.

Lisa recognized the voice and slowly turned to look at Matt, whose face was closer to hers, if she moved any further, she would end up kissing his cheek, so she tried to move back a little to create more space between them.

Feeling her gaze on him and still not getting any response from her, Matt turned to look at her.

Due to his action, they were now facing each other with very less distance between their faces. Their lips were only a few centimeters apart.

A movement from either of them would result in a kiss.

This made Lisa\'s heart pound at a faster rate and she subconsciously moved a bit back but the stool she was sitting on had no back support and before she would end up falling down, Matt hugged her waist to support her.

"What is happening here?" Steve\'s voice rang out in the room, pulling the two people out of their daze.

Matt moved back and stood up before turning towards the man who interrupted them.

"Why is that any of your business?" Matt questioned him back instead of answering him.

"We were just studying this case" Lisa answered Matt to stop these two men from arguing further over a silly topic.

"This case is related to Neurology and you are a Cardiologist. Why do you have to read this case?" Steve didn\'t believe it.

"Firstly, I am not answerable to you and what we are doing is none of your business and secondly, you are a doctor, you should know there are a few things that are common for all the doctors regardless of their specialty." Matt scoffed at him.
