Jeremy pulled his arm back, his tone unwavering. “Does it make any difference whether raise my hand or not?–
The entire room had already voted in favor, and his vote wouldn’t change anything
Harold clicked his tongue. “I just saw Ms. Wardold looking at you. You could at least give her a little reassurance.
“Why is that?” Krystal cut in. “Wasn’t this supposed to be a discussion? If some people think she should stay, then it’s only natural that others might think she
shouldn’t.”
Harold was momentarily stunned
Krystal was already standing up. She cast a balet glance at Melody and said, “We all know how things are in neurosurgery. I don’t think someone who could lose their hearing at any moment is suited to sta
But since the majority agrees, I have nothing else to say.”
After the meeting, Tiffany grabbed Melody’s arm and pulled her toward the cafeteria.
“See? Everyone thinks you’re amazing. Well, except for Dr. Flanigan ”
Ever since Krystal’s last comment, Tiffany had held a grudge against her. She muttered under her breath, “I don’t get what makes her think she’s so special, acting all high and mighty every single day.”
“Don’t say that, it wouldn’t be good if someone overhears,” Melody reminded her.
Tittany knew she had a point, so she dropped the subject. She then excitedly started filling Melody in on all the gossip from the past few days while she had been
Just then, a voice called out from behind them, “Ms. Wardolf, Tiffany.”
Melody and Tiffany turned around to see Harold, Jeremy, and Caleb approaching them.
Caleb was the find to speak. “Are you guys here for lunch? Let’s eat together.”
Tillany early choked and quickly shot back, “Nope. We’re just here for a stroll.”
“Astrol? In the cafeteria?”
“yeal. We’re here to walk around. What about it?”
The two of them went back and forth, bickering assal
However, Melody stayed silent as her gaze lingered on Jeremy.
She wanted to ask him why he hadn’t raised his hand, but she had no right to.
Krysta! was right—some people supported her, and others didn’t, and Jeremy simply chose to be in the latter group.
That was all
As they finished getting their meals, Caleb casually grabbed a few bottles of juice and set them on the table. “Consider this a little celebration for M. Wardolf getting back to work and hearing again.”
Melody smiled. “Thanks”
Just then, a cool, composed voice cut through the chatter, “Jeremy.”
Krystal stood a short distance away, holding a meal tray. Her gaze swept over Melody before settling on Jeremy.
“I have a case I’d like to discuss with you. Do you have a moment?” she asked.
Before Jeremy could respond, Caleb waved her over. “Dr. Finnigan, come sit with us.”
Krystal didn’t move and lupt her gaze on Jeremy “t’s a little noisy here. Can we go somewhere quieter?”

Melody passed her lips together and quickly looked away.
A second later, a slender bund set a bottle of juice down before her
Jeremy said, “I don’t drink this.“.
Before she could react, he had already picked up his tray and walked off with Krystal
At that moment, Melody’s phone rang–it was Felicia.
She had told Felicia last night that her heating had returned.
Melody stepped aside and answered the call.
Felicia’s excited voice came through immediately, “So? What did the hospital say?!
“I’m staying” Melody replied.
Felicia practically squealed: “That’s amazing! Congrats! Oh, but does that mean 1 should tum down the side gig I found for you?”
Melody asked, “What side gig?”
“Print Modeling!”
