Chapter 70 The Weight of Duty, The Heft of Obligation
Traylor moved towards Natalie. Despite her towering high heels, she was no taller than Natalie who wore flat shoes. Traylor studied her, eyes narrowed. "I'm Traylor," she announced.Her voice held no warmth. Natalie was taken aback, albeit slightly. She was familiar with Traylor, having seen her frequent Jagger's office.Without much thought, Natalie extended her hand and greeted, "Hello, Ms. Traylor. I'm Natalie.""Natalie, are you serving in this attire? Then I'd like four servings of freshly cut fruit platter. Make sure they are freshly cut," she emphasized the last two words.Natalie was just a server. Traylor's lifestyle was leagues above that of a server. But Jagger had chosen a server over her.Natalie's reaction was standard. "Alright, please wait a moment."She turned to Jagger and said, "I'll get to work now.""Alright, see you later," Jagger responded, his voice filled with affection as he watched her leave the private room.This display stirred Traylor's jealousy further.She turned to Patricia, her face etched with a particularly pained expression. Patricia regarded Traylor with disapproval, shaking her head in helpless resignation.Naturally, Patricia cherished her own daughter. Since Jagger didn't reciprocate Traylor's feelings, Patricia believed Traylor should not obsess over him. But Traylor was too proud, always eager to compete for everything.A few minutes later, Natalie wheeled the food trolley into the private room. She arranged her tools, donned her gloves, and began preparing the fruit platter. Normally, the fruit platter would already be prepared, but if a customer was particular about hygiene and had strict fruit selection requirements, they could request the waiter to prepare it fresh in the private room. Traylor had made this request to belittle Natalie. However, as soon as Natalie wheeled in the trolley, Jagger came over to assist. Gradually, several nurses also joined them."Natalie, it's you! I didn't recognize you earlier," said Sandra Dixon. She was a nurse in the nephrology department and had seen Rosalie many times.
"I recognized you as soon as I walked in. You and Brenda Green are always together," Natalie responded as she sliced the dragon fruit. "Where's Maria Duncan? I didn't see her." Maria was the nurse responsible for taking care of Rosalie, and Natalie was closest to her."Her son is celebrating his birthday today, so she didn't come.""Natalie, I really didn't recognize you in that outfit. It looks much better than the sportswear you usually wear and shows off your figure," Sandra complimented. She hadn't expected Natalie to have such a good figure. Despite her slender frame, Natalie was perfectly proportioned. Her hair was tied up, revealing a smooth forehead and slender neck. Her wheat-colored complexion was lightly made up, enhancing her natural beauty.Natalie usually went without makeup and dressed casually at the hospital. But when she put in a bit of effort, the transformation was breathtaking. It was no wonder Jagger was smitten."Natalie, when did you start dating Dr. Kamel?" Natalie blushed slightly. "Ask him. Why do you keep asking me?" She looked up at Jagger, signaling that he should handle the questions.
Jagger replied, "Do I need to report my love life to all of you?" Although he spoke with a serious tone, everyone knew of his gentle nature and they all laughed."Dr. Kamel, you must tell us. You have no idea how many nurses and female doctors in the department have a crush on you. If I didn't have a child, I...""What would you have done?"
