No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 856

It was early evening.

As Fanny clocked out from her shift at the clinic, she couldn't help but notice the excited chatter among the nurses. Being the head of the department, her curiosity got the better of her. "What's going on, ladies?" she asked with a playful grin.

"Dr. Willis, there's a ridiculously handsome guy outside," one of the nurses replied, eyes wide with admiration.

Just like how a shot of espresso could jolt you awake, a good-looking man had the power to make dopamine levels soar among women.

"Well, no matter how handsome he is, if you don't make a move, he's still someone else's catch," Fanny teased, encouragingly.

By day, Fanny was the no-nonsense head of the department, but once she clocked out, she was just another fun-loving woman ready to unwind like everyone else.

After all, after a long day, a little banter and laughter never hurt anyone.

"So, are we making a move or what?" The group giggled their way out of the hospital entrance, and that's when Fanny spotted the man they were all talking about.

In the glow of the setting sun, Sinclair stood there in his sleek black overcoat, a tailored suit underneath, and a crisp white shirt peeking through. The evening light highlighted his sharp features, making him look both regal and striking.
