Changing Only For Her Novel

Marcus immediately voiced his agreement with Barney’s plan. “Of course. No problem at all.”

He desperately needed Barney, Sophie, and Arius’ help with the virus that held Anglandur hostage.

At that point, he could agree to almost anything that helped to smooth over their ruffled feathers.

Alas, Barney’s declaration did not sit well with the men pleading for mercy on the ground. Getting a spot in the International Medical Association had been a laborious feat.

If they were essentially fired from the association, their reputation in the medical field would be ruined.

They immediately launched into a fresh wave of pleas. “Dr. Smith, we’ve truly realized our mistakes. Please give us another chance!”

Marcus had heard enough. He piped up, “That’s enough. Ms. Tanner and the others have been far too generous toward you. All you’re good for is saying nonsense instead of curing diseases. I don’t ever want to hear about you lot next time.”

He ordered his men to bring the disgraced former researchers away.

“Ms. Tanner, let me express my apologies once again. I personally invited you here, yet such an unforgivable act happened to you on our grounds.” Marcus continued, “Once we’ve overcome this virus, I will take you out for a meal and properly make things up to you.”

These three doctors were his only hope.

He could sacrifice every shred of his pride to ensure the security of his country and his position.

Sophie had had enough of dealing with the drama by then. She replied curtly, “Let’s talk about it another time! Why don’t both of you head back first, Dr. Smith? I’m going to have dinner with Tristan, so I’ll make my way back later.”

Reminding herself that the virus was a matter of life and death was the only thing that boosted her patience.

“All right. Go on, then. Arius and I will return as well.”

Arius whined, “Let’s eat out, Dr. Smith! I’m sick of all the dinners they serve us at the medical association!”

He was suddenly swamped by a longing for his life back in Chanaea. It had been so easy to get whatever he craved in Chanaea. In Anglandur, he had to suffer through countless fast-food meals.
