The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 438 - Interesting

Excited about the first day, she stood in front of the board which was lettered as the Neurology department. She admired it for a few seconds.

She patted her shoulder, "Good job." She was proud of herself for reaching there towards her career. Making her fist, she encouraged herself, "You can do it."

She was about to step inside, she felt a tug at her arm. The hold was strong as the pull which caused her to twirl around. Just out of the kidnap fiasco, her body reacted instinctively.

'Pak.' Shea slapped the man and froze in shock.

The silent neurology department suddenly buzzed with that slap while Shea stared at the unknown three men in front of her.

She didn't have time to worry about the pain of her stinging palm. Her instincts kicked in. She couldn't fight three so all she could think was, 'Run'

She ran a few steps before registering to her mind that three men were worried sick and the young man's face was streaked in tears.

She turned around and saw the victim of her slap glare at her with a hand on his cheek. He ignored her and grabbed the nurse's hand, "Where is the ICU? I got a call that my wife is being operated on. Where is she?..." he went on with his series of questions.

Shea bit her lips and realized they must have run up over there hence their hold was tight. She checked the time and followed the three towards the ICU.

She waited till they got information about the patient in the operation theatre. Then she deeply bowed to the middle-aged man whose cheek was bright red, "I am really sorry, I didn't mean to attack you. I was scared somebody was going to hurt me. I reacted in self-defense. I am sorry, it wasn't intentional."

She bit her lips when she faced the man. She was truly apologetic. Seeing him stare at her, she lowered her head uneasily. She even thought about letting the man slap her once but with his wife in the operation theatre, she felt like it would annoy them.

Meanwhile, she hadn't noticed her idol, Doctor Wells had noticed the whole event. She had checked the internship request form and identified Shea as the intern.

She had followed Shea and watched her apologize when Shea could have ignored him and went for the interview. Doctor Wells was aware of Shea's scores and her achievements so far in the medical field; she actually wanted to interview to check her behavior and conduct. After witnessing everything, she signed the approval paper and passed it to the nurse who was her assistant.

"Ask her to start from tomorrow. 9 Sharp." She informed the nurse before going on rounds to check on her patients.

When Shea got forgiveness after getting scolded by the son of that middle-aged man, she reached the office a little later than the specified time.

She wanted to cry when she got to know the doctor had left. Strict also means she should be on time. She was thinking of ways to convince her idol when a young nurse handed her the acceptance letter.

"Ms. Morris, your internship starts tomorrow. Be here sharp at 9. Doctor Wells will meet you then." The nurse politely passed the information to Shea.

The nurse was about to return to her desk, Shea blocked her, "Excuse me… I am sorry but I didn't give my interview yet." She should have been happy but she felt like her idol was giving her leeway knowing she is well acquainted with the Rivas family. Ahh, she didn't want to go by influence.

The nurse knew Shea was from a rich family, yet didn't want to use it to her benefit. Karsen had told them to behave like they didn't know her background. Now she understood why. "Why don't you ask Doctor Wells tomorrow after you meet?" She flashed a polite smile and got back to work.

Shea looked at her in perplexity. She couldn't believe even in the absence of Doctor Wells, the department is too silent and they won't speak more than required.

She thanked the nurse and left from there. She had nothing else to do. She didn't have friends in the city, she didn't have to hunt for a house as she is going to live in Rivas mansion for the time being. So she thought of going to Rivas Industries but shook her head as Aaron had to work his ass off at the company then he would work in the hospital.

Karsen suggested she should go to the Rivas mansion and get her room arranged to her requirement. So Karsen's driver drove her to the hotel to collect her luggage and went to the Rivas mansion.

Without much hassle, she got the chance to work under the one she wanted to work with.

At Mall of Mocon,

The golden trio had shopped for lots of her clothes. They also slid here and there to grab men's clothes too. The most tired one was Aarvi who had no strength to try on more dresses.

All the while Dax noticed Shawn and Aarvi trying their best to hide something from him. Even though their reaction wasn't major, he could feel it.

They rested for snacks when he finally asked, "What are you guys trying to hide from me?"

It wasn't like Shawn and Aarvi wanted to hide from Dax. They felt bad that when Dax finally made up his mind to date someone, he faced an issue.

Shawn stretched his neck while Aarvi cupped her face and asked, "You have spent a good time with Tia. What do you think of her?"

Dax watched the two. It was difficult for him to come to any conclusion other than thinking something related to Tia was bugging them. He answered them seriously, completely aware, they were worried about him.

"The much I try to know about her, the more I feel like I don't know anything about her."

His response caused Aarvi and Shawn to look at each other. They were kind of glad Dax was noticing things weren't as simple as they looked.

"Go on." Shawn probed him to continue.

Dax again summarised, "The more I spend time with her, I find her unfamiliar."

Shawn looked at Aarvi with his hand pointing at Dax. He had a complicated expression as though he was going to beat Dax the next second, "Why the hell is he talking in riddles, right now?"

Aarvi tried to understand Dax's words in-depth but those weren't enough for her. "Have you questioned her? Why didn't you tell us these before?" She queried Dax because miscommunication and suspicions aren't good for a healthy relationship.

Dax shrugged his shoulders, he coolly accepted, "That's what is interesting about her." He took a sip of his coffee leaving his friends baffled.

Shawn irritatedly recounted to Aarvi, "Hadn't I told you? His taste isn't a sweet little girl. He is into deceiving people. Argh, here I was blaming myself."

Shawn's slip of tongue directly revealed that Tia is deceiving all of them. Shawn saw Aarvi Squeeze her eyes at his words before he bit his tongue.  'What a great way to explode the bomb?' Shawn thought.

Both carefully looked at Dax whose face looked too calm to believe but his frosty expressionless eyes caused Aarvi and Shawn to turn towards the exit of the cafe.

Both knew well, they shouldn't mess with livid Dax.
