Chapter 162 First Day At Work

Nancy shook her head. “It’s nothing!” Some things had been repeated twice, and she didn’t have the courage to

say it a third time. “Since I’m your younger sister, I should play my part, and you should fulfill your duty as the older

brother.” Afterward, she quickly closed the door and left.

The rush of emotions, combined with the cold night air, sobered her up considerably. Initially, she had thought of

leaving but gave up when she opened the door and saw the pitch-black darkness outside, shivering from the cold

while wearing only her pajamas. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and entered the guest room.

Perhaps due to the alcohol, she felt warm under the covers, and drowsiness soon overcame her.

The next day, Nancy’s alarm rang early in the morning. She didn’t stay in bed and immediately got up after the

alarm went off. Fortunately, she had too many clothes and hadn’t brought all of them with her when she moved, so

there were still plenty of clothes she could wear. When she came downstairs after washing up, she saw Nicholas

was already there and had prepared breakfast. “Come over and eat with

me.”

Although Nicholas had gotten on Nancy’s nerves the previous night, he was still worried that she might wake up

with a headache or an upset stomach from the alcohol. Therefore, he woke up early and made her breakfast.

She checked the time and then looked at the spread of food on the table. She couldn’t help but feel tempted.

However, she still held onto her pride. “No, thank you. Today is my first day of work, and I’m about to be late.”

Seeing her walking away, he called out to her, “It’s desolate out here. Are you sure you can get a cab? Sit down

and have breakfast. I’ll send you to work after you’re finished.”

Nancy had no choice but to admit that Nicholas had her cornered. It was indeed difficult to hail a cab out here.

While it was possible to get one, she would certainly be late by the time it arrived. “Are you sure you’ll take me to

the hospital?” she asked, unsure.

“Do I look like I’m lying?”

She stopped talking and began eating her breakfast. The food was just the right temperature. The oatmeal, in

particular, was prepared perfectly, with the texture she liked. It warmed her belly as she ate it. Once she was done,

she thanked him sincerely, and they left in his car.

The journey took about half an hour, which passed quickly. Upon arriving, Nancy took out her phone. and

transferred some money to Nicholas. “Thank you. I don’t want to owe you anything.”

He looked at the cash he received and was quite exasperated. That woman treated him like a chauffeur.

Once at the hospital, Nancy first went to the HR department to report for work, and then she went to find her

mentor, who happened to be Evelyn.

When she saw Evelyn, she felt that the other person seemed particularly warm and familiar. Evelyn’s full name was

Evelyn Yancy, a rare talent in the field of cardiac surgery and a leading expert in cardiology. As a woman, achieving

the rank of professor in cardiology at her age and being able to stand out among a crowd of male doctors was truly

remarkable. Therefore, Nancy had a sincere admiration for her.

She remembered during her studies, her professor had shared some stories about Evelyn. He mentioned Evelyn

was a medical fanatic and would stay away from home for months on end just to finish her research.

At the tine, Nancy didn’t fully understand his words, so she went back and did some research of her own. Just

reading the Wikipedia page about Evelyn was enough to leave Nancy in awe, not to mention the depth of the

content. At that moment, she quietly harbored a small wish-to become Evelyn’s mentee and work under her

someday. She never thought it would actually come true.

When Nancy entered her mentor’s office, Evelyn was in the middle of reprimanding someone. Her voice resonated

with authority, and her demeanor was notably stern. This stark contrast was a far cry from the Evelyn that Nancy

had encountered during the dinner with her classmates, leaving Nancy taken aback.

She stood at the door, hesitating to interrupt, and patiently waited for Evelyn to complete her task before entering

the room. As Nancy finally stepped inside, a surreal feeling washed over her, filling her with disbelief and

momentarily leaving her in a daze as she gazed into space.

Evelyn spoke up first. “Did I scare you?”

Nancy immediately shook her head, then asked, “No, it’s just that I’m not sure how to address you. Should I call you

Mrs. Moore or follow everyone else and call you Professor Yancy?”

Evelyn smiled and shook her head kindly. “Both are wrong?”

“What?” Nancy was instantly flustered.

“In the hospital, you can call me Dr. Yancy, just like everyone else. In private, you can call me Mrs. Moore.

“Sure, Dr. Yancy. I came to report for work today.”

Evelyn nodded in satisfaction and then asked, “Were you startled by hearing me scold someone on your first day?”

“Nope.” Nancy quickly shook her head.

“Since you happened to witness it, I’ll give you a bit of a warning. I’ll do my best to take care of you guys off work,

but I’m known for being strict at work. I won’t tolerate any sloppiness. Mistakes are allowed, but try to avoid them.

Repeating the same mistake or blatant negligence is absolutely. unacceptable. Also, your attitude in this industry is

crucial. Take your time to understand these things.”

After reporting to her mentor, Nancy returned to the HR department.

The HR department had arranged an orientation for new employees, mainly introducing them to the hospital and

the various rules and regulations they were expected to follow..

The morning passed quickly, and the orientation was relatively easygoing. At noon, Nancy went to the cafeteria and

had just joined the line when there was suddenly a burst of cheers from inside the

cafeteria.

Following that, she saw everyone looking at her with a smile. The younger female doctors and nurses, in particular,

were beaming and had radiant smiles. Even Nancy, a woman, couldn’t resist their smiles.

She was puzzled. Such a warm reception couldn’t possibly be for a new employee like her. So, why were they

beaming?

Finally, after getting her lunch, Nancy found a random seat and sat down. Immediately, Toni Bailey eagerly sat

down beside her.

Toni was Nancy’s colleague who had started work at the same time as her and was also in the same department.

They had gone through the morning’s orientation together, so they were already quite. familiar with each other.

“Hey, Nancy, did you see that just now?” Toni asked excitedly.

“See what?” Nancy couldn’t make sense of it.

“Mr. Jadin!” Toni didn’t even touch her food as she spoke excitedly and sternly.

Upon hearing the name, she was momentarily stunned, and then her face displayed a look of disbelief. “Jaded? Is

that someone’s name?”

“More or less. That’s what everyone calls him.”

“What?” Nancy was shocked once again. She blinked her eyes, unable to believe what she had just heard. “Are you

certain that person’s name is Jaded? The word that means overworked or worn out? Did someone randomly give

him that name? It sounds awkward somehow.”

After Nancy finished speaking. Toni was the one left in a state of shock. She had just taken a bite of her food but

was so taken aback by Nancy’s words that she ended up swallowing it whole, choking in the process.

Toni reached for her cup and was about to take a sip of water when suddenly, a strikingly handsome. and gentle-

looking man sat diagonally across from her, two seats away from Nancy.

Gazing at the familiar and captivating face, Toni was instantly speechless and stammered, “M-Mr. Jadin, h-hello!”

Nancy overheard and turned to her side, gathering the courage to greet him. “Mr. Jaded, hello!”
