surgeon, but he secured his position with many years of experience. He was initially quite upset that an external doctor secured the position of deputy director. However, after giving it some thought, he concluded that having such a competent neurosurgeon by his side would boost the department’s performance, improving his reputation. With that in mind, he regarded Jenny in a better light.“Dr. Ledger, you flatter me too much,” Jenny said, raising her glass. “Since I can’t hold my liquor, I’ll drink a toast to you with juice instead.”Having said that, she gulped down the juice in the glass.Everyone applauded heartily, unconcerned whether Jenny was drinking wine or juice. After all, she had a major operation the next day. Everyone enjoyed the meal, and Jenny was no exception.Later, Jenny headed to the washroom. Upon her exit, someone called out to her, “Dr. Walter.”Jenny turned around to see Jared Stewart from her department.“Dr. Stewart?”“We’re colleagues now, so you don’t have to be so formal with me.

He thought he would have a chance if he tried hard enough since she was quite young, even if she already had a Ph.D. However, she was divorced. Upon his reevaluation, he decided that the nurse who was trying to court him previously was pretty cute.When Jared left, Jenny smiled. She was not surprised. It seemed like her status as a divorcée would save her from many troubles.When she was about to leave, Alec exited the men’s bathroom. What
