The Director’s Office

Sherri cautiously pushed open the door, wearing a slight smirk on her face. “Hey there, boss. Busy as always?”

The Director looked surprised upon seeing her, as she rarely visited the office. It was clear that Sherri’s presence meant something important.

The saying goes, “No one visits the temple without a reason.”

The Director wasted no time and got straight to the point. “Alright, drop the fake smile. What’s the matter? Did you come across a challenging case that you can’t handle?”

Sherri, never one to hold back, retorted, ‘Come on, you’re the one who trained me. Have I ever failed to handle a patient? You know I always give my utmost attention to each one,”

The Director paid no heed to her flattery “Cur to the chase. Why are you here?”

“Well, there is something It’s just it’s…”

Sherri’s words were abruptly interrupted by the Director’s impatience. “Enough with the beating around the bush. Spit it out instead of teasing me one word at a time, like toothpaste

Sherri straightened her posture and said, “I want to put myself forward for an opportunity to study abroad. I don’t need any special perks or financial assistance. I am willing to cover the expenses myself. All I ask for is a chance to expand my knowledge and skills.”

After silence, the Director rose with a hint of confusion and placed a hand on Sherri’s forehead, checking for a temperature. “You’re not running a fever. What’s gotten into you today? What’s this sudden request all about?”

Sherri playfully jostled the Director’s arm. “Boss, can you help me apply for the program? I genuinely have a thirst for learning and improving. Money and benefits mean nothing to me. I want to broaden my horizons, Is there any possibility?”

The Director observed the sincerity in Sherri’s expression. Although she was usually cheerful and lighthearted, her dedication and professionalism regarding her work were not denied.

Continuing the conversation, the Director inquired, “Isn’t this because of Mrs. Wilson from the surgery department that you want to go!”
