Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 143:

The wind always felt stranger on the rooftop. As Norah climbed up, her hair swirled around her, and the hem of her white coat made a soft rustling sound.

“Dr. Padilla, how can I help you today?” Norah moved closer to Baylor, her hands tucked in her pockets.

Norah and Baylor, having worked together at the hospital for some time, were just regular colleagues. But recently, Norah had started to see Baylor in a slightly more positive light, especially after his supportive comments during a recent group discussion.

Even though Norah suspected Baylor was the writer of the anonymous letter, she hadn’t found any proof yet and chose to keep her suspicions to herself until she did.

Baylor glanced over at Norah, admiring her beauty and acknowledging her competence as a doctor. He knew she was talented, having witnessed her skills firsthand in many operations they had done together.

“Last time we talked about the promotion to attending physician. Today, Jamison told me the position is available,” Baylor said, facing Norah and trying to gauge her reaction. “I know you were supposed to get that promotion, Dr. Wilson,” he continued slowly. “I saw Dr. Austin handing a report to the hospital director’s office, and the next day, I was promoted.”

“So, you’re implying that Dr. Austin wrote the anonymous letter, Dr. Padilla?” Norah’s expression turned cold as she spoke, a hint of scorn in her voice.

“Yes, I thought it over and decided you should know. Don’t be fooled by Dr. Austin, Dr. Wilson.”

“Okay. I understand. Thank you for letting me know, Dr. Padilla.”

Understanding the situation, Norah didn’t want to stay and talk any longer with Baylor. She left the rooftop with a stern expression.

Baylor returned to the department with a smug smile, only to be met by Jolie’s unhappy face.
