Chapter 101
"Elizabeth is our new colleague. Get to know her."
Amanda took a sip of water, put down her cup, and looked at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth had her hair clipped up and wore a light pink shirt under a white coat, looking relaxed and neat.
Everyone clapped to welcome her, except Mark, who muttered, "Mr. York keeps sending useless people to our department. Isn't one enough?"
Just then, the door opened, and Esme walked in.
Mark rubbed his temples, clearly annoyed. One Esme was already too much, and now Elizabeth too? Aren't the doctor's appointment slots valuable here?
Elizabeth stayed calm, but Esme's gaze towards her was filled with hostility..
"Shouldn't the newcomer treat us to a meal?" someone asked.
"Yeah, let's have a welcome dinner!"
Elizabeth saw everyone was excited and smiled. "Sure."
"The restaurant across the street is great. How about there? The seafood is amazing!"
Elizabeth listened to everyone discussing dinner plans.
"Dr. Russell, want to join us?" someone asked.
Esme, sitting across from Elizabeth, coldly replied, "No!"
Esme didn't want to see them outside of work.
Elizabeth realized how close her desk was to Esme's. Working face-to-face with Esme, her ex-husband's current girlfriend, made her feel nauseous.
"As the weather's getting hotte, cold drinks are most needed," a young doctor sighed by the window.
"Stop dreaming and get back to work," Esme snapped.
The young doctor awkwardly smiled and returned to her desk.
Elizabeth glanced at Esme, thinking, 'When will she change? The young doctor was just making a comment.'
Just then, there was a knock on the door; it was Sunny.
Sunny smiled. "Dr. Percy, thank you!"
Elizabeth looked up from the case files Amanda had given her, puzzled.
Several men in black suits carrying custom boxes walked in.
Amanda frowned, disliking the chaos.
Everyone was stunned. What was going on?
Elizabeth recognized the lead man, Celine's bodyguard, Nate Jenkins.
Elizabeth stood up, confused. 'Why was he here?'
Nate said, "Ms. Percy, Mrs. Percy asked us to bring these for you."
