Stuck in you

The two days of rest was effective in relieving the pain on her waist. Rachel stretched her waist and felt that she has recovered enough to return to her job at the hospital.

She was worried that she would become lazy if she lay down for even just a day more.

Unexpectedly, she received a call from the director before she could call him and notify him about her decision to return to work.

"How are you today, Rachel?" The director greeted her by asking about her condition as soon as she answered the call.

"It's almost completely healed. I'm okay to go back to work tomorrow," Rachel replied optimistically.

"Don't worry about it. You can stay at home a few more days to fully recover," the director replied in a positive tone of voice.

His words left Rachel speechless. She wondered if the she was being given special treatment or not. She paused and thought of the most appropriate reply, but the director continued before she could say anything. "How are you at home these past few days? I have a paper that I have to publish in two days, but I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. So, I really have no time to modify it anymore."

There was a short pause before the director continued. "Do you think you can help me out with it?"

It turned out that he didn't call only because he cared about her health.

"Yes, of course. Please sent it to me."

"It would be quite simple, really. Just check for any incorrect words and then make any necessary changes to the references as needed."

It might sound like a simple task, but the workload was not that small.

However, since she had already promised that she would help, she would have to do it to the best of her ability.

She went to the study, turned on her computer and carefully read through the director's paper. Only by reading through it would she find any problems with it and correct them.

She didn't notice that she worked on the paper until midnight.

She had a good sleep after she worked on the paper until the ringing of her phone woke her up.

Rachel picked up the phone and answered it in a low voice, "Hello."

The director's voice came from the other end of the call. He sounded so angry when he replied back to Rachel. "Where are you now, Rachel?"

"What can I do for you, Director?" Rachel replied as she rubbed her eyes. She worked on the computer for a long time and her eyes felt sore and uncomfortable even after some sleep.

The director snorted when he heard Rachel's voice. "Let me ask you this. Who else read my paper? Why is it now attached to Affiliated No.1 Hospital's Clark Zhao's paper?"

"No one. I'm the only one who read it," Rachel replied.
