Chapter 23
As dusk settled outside, Charlotte finished up her last bit of work and was about to leave the office when Tricia appeared at her door, gently rapping her knuckles against the frame. “Dr. Sterling.”
Charlotte looked up, her expression composed. “Is there something you need?”
“The hospital’s currently negotiating a project to build a Sleep Medicine Center. There’s a dinner with the city council tonight to discuss it. I want you to go.”
Tricia placed a folder on Charlotte’s desk.
Charlotte glanced at the folder, then suddenly let out a soft, incredulous laugh. “Director Winthrop isn’t handling the negotiations herself, and she’s assigning this to me?”
“Dr. Sterling, are you still holding a grudge about what happened before?” Tricia smiled sweetly. “We’re colleagues after all, and I trust your abilities. I feel completely comfortable putting this project in your hands.”
Sensing Charlotte might refuse, Tricia added, “Besides, this was Evander’s decision. He’s made it clear that your work now falls under my supervision. So I’m assigning you to this project. You can’t exactly refuse, can you?”
Charlotte’s hand tightened around her pen.
She and Tricia had always operated in separate spheres; Evander was clearly using his influence to put Tricia over her.
