Stuck in you

Holley didn't reply back. She tore up the dosage list, tossed it into the trash bin, printed another copy and handed it to the head nurse. She kept silent the entire time and had an expressionless face.

"Don't be so cocky! You arrogant woman!"

the head nurse whispered to herself after leaving the office. She then handed the new prescription to another nurse.

Holley turned away and involuntarily bit her lips once more.

She could have pretended like nothing happened even with Rachel's attitude towards her.

She told herself that only the two of them knew about what really happened.

But Holley found it impossible to calm herself down as she imagined the letter taped to her door.

Meanwhile, Rachel got out of the car and watched as Jack got out too. "You don't have to get out of the car. I can get inside by myself," she said.

Jack smiled. "I want to accompany you to your office."

Rachel looked at him in the eye and said, "But you know, you don't need to do that."

But she instinctively placed her hand on Jack's open palm when he reached out for her.

After Jack accompanied her inside, she paused and watched him leave. She then turned to take her gown on a hanger. She was slightly surprised to see that Holley stood in front of her.

"Rachel, can I have a word with you?" Holley wanted to talk to Rachel and find out whether she was merely pretending that she knew nothing.

Rachel put on her gown in a fluid motion. She then turned to Holley briefly. "Now is the time to be on duty," she said flatly.

The way she said her words clearly implied that it was not a convenient time for her to talk.

There was a sudden feeling of keen disgust towards Holley that overcame Rachel. It was so strong that she didn't even want to look at her.

"It's just a few minutes, and it's just a few words," Holley insisted. Her face started to look agitated as she spoke.

It was her initial plan to invite Rachel to a coffee shop to talk.

If Rachel had any hidden intention at revenge, Holley preferred to kneel and beg for her mercy rather than make everything a public matter.

Otherwise, everything that she had now would be all for naught.

But she never expected the turn of events in front of her. Rachel wasn't even interested to give her a chance at redemption.

Rachel felt appalled with Holley's invitation. She took a deep breath and turned to Holley briefly. "I have patients that I need to see right away," she replied calmly.

She then left without looking back, and without giving Holley a chance to speak.

And this made Holley feel even more anxious.

Because of this, Holley was not in the mood to work. So she decided to just take a day off. She wandered the streets and saw two middle-aged women walking in front of her. They whispered to each other as they walked.
