Contract Marriage Devil's Trap

"Hmph! From her looks, she must be afraid of losing to Erin! That does make sense, though, since Erin's so capable! She'll definitely get to become Doctor Ross’ assistant."

An arrogant voice rang.

Before Isabella could speak, the nurse beside them, Connie, defended her.

"What does that have to do with you, Skyler? If you have the time to gossip, why not get your report done before the head nurse comes and gives you an earful!"

Seeing Connie standing up for Isabella, Skyler Mitchell huffed angrily, "Have you been bribed by Isabella? How capable do you think those who get into the hospital with connections are? She doesn't even let others speak about it.Who knows what kind of improper means she used!"

Hearing those insulting words, Connis became so furious that her face turned red.

Just as she wanted to refute, Isabella stopped her.

"You speak as if you know the truth.Did you see me use my connections? If you could focus on your work, you wouldn't have to write a report now.I'm capable.That's why I can compete for the assistant position, while you're just a nurse trainee."

Isabella glanced at Skyler and rebutted plainly.

Though her voice was pleasant to the ear, it could easily anger a person.

Furious, Skyler pointed at Isabella and was about to lash out at her, but suddenly, the head nurse's loud voice rang.

Answering the head nurse in an irritated tone, Skyler turned back to glare at Isabella.

"You better watch out! Don't let me dig out your dirt, or I'll be sure to ruin you!"

"Oh? I'll wait and see, then."

Isabella raised her eyebrows, eyes full of disdain.

After Skyler stomped away, Connie was already laughing so hard that she couldn't stand straight.

"Bella, you're amazing! I didn't know you were so good in confrontation!"

Connie looked at Isabella with admiration and praised her.

Shaking her head, Isabella explained, "If she hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have argued with her."

Connie knew Isabella's personality and agreed, "Right, but I don't think you need to give in to her.She always tries to mess with you! She's just jealous that Doctor Ross treats you well.She's the type of person who doesn't have the capability yet likes to stir things up.She couldn't be more annoying!"

"Just pretend you didn't hear it when she says something bad about me again.Don't argue with her.The more you argue with her, the worse she becomes, and I don't want you to become enemies with others because of me;’ Isabella reminded the nurse in a soft tone.

Connie was a nice young lady.

If Skyler hated Connie because of her, she would blame herself.

Hearing that, Connie pretended to be angry, "I'll get upset if you say things like this again! Aren't we good friends? How can I just watch my good friend get bullied and not say anything?"

Instantly, Isabella felt warmth in her heart.

She was used to being alone and independent, so others only saw her as a strong woman, and only a few people would care about her so much.

It would be a lie if she said she wasn't moved by Connie's words.

"Thanks, Connie."

Isabella looked at Connie seriously and thanked her with a sincere heart.

Smiling, Connie replied, "If you want to thank me, go shopping with me tomorrow! You always say you're busy when I ask you out.Don't tell me you're going to reject me again this time."
