Waiting for You in a City | [JenLisa Adaptation]

02

After she gets off work, Jennie went to the outpatient department of the burn surgery on the 9th floor of the building to look for Professor Han Sukkyu.

Last night during the surgery, she had some doubts and a few concerns, hence she wanted to consult the professor.

At 8:00 am, Professor Han wasn't at the hospital.

Jennie asked the nurse and realized that she remembered the wrong date.

Professor Han is always off on Saturday...

She thought today was Friday!

Recently, she has really been so exhausted... She sighed aggressively and rubbed her nose with force, then went to the elevator.

The time she passed the washroom, she unexpectedly heard her own name...

"I heard when Jennie Kim returns from the emergency department, she will be promoted to attending physician..." That's Nayeon's voice. She and Jennie entered the hospital at the same time. They were interns together and were promoted to resident physicians together.

"What?! Attending physician?" Wendy is their senior, she clearly sounded unhappy: "Why? Based on what? Just because she studied abroad in the US? She's just here for a few years, does she have enough experience?"

"So she was sent to the emergency department, I guess it was done to fool people. Indeed- by the time she's done, she would be the attending physician. It's not fair and acceptable, but no one would object nor find fault with it, it only becomes an exception..." Nayeon washed her hands and looked at Wendy with eyes full of pity. "I feel that it should be your turn. You are older than her, you have more experience than her. But what can you do? She has connections."

Wendy snorted, "Everyone can find a connection, depending on who you find. There are a few who came to third-military hospital without any connections."

Nayeon shook her head, "Oh, but her family background is not ordinary. I heard her family name is Cha, but because she doesn't want to make it public, she changed her family name."

"CHA?!" Wendy hesitated for a while, "The chief of staff's...daughter?"

Nayeon shrugged her shoulders.

Wendy said nothing and just vented her dissatisfaction by washing her hands with exerted force. She then took the tissue to wipe her hands. After some time, she just threw the tissue into the trash can.

"She doesn't want to make it public? It's too hilarious. If she doesn't want to do it then she shouldn't have gone through the 'back door'. I have enough of her, yet I will still be working at the same place as her? I-" Wendy choked.

Jennie watched her from the slightly open door. She was naturally so calm and cold. She then asked indifferently, "You don't want to work with me, should I help you in speaking with the head of department?" her voice was hoarse due to exhaustion.

Wendy looked at her with trembling lips, begging for mercy in shame.

Jennie exerted a little force on her elbows as pushed herself to stand up straight from the wall, raised her chin, stared blankly at her, then turned and walked away without any word.

"Doctor Kim! Getting off work?" the security guard friendly greeted Jennie as she exited the hospital and walked to her car.

Jennie nodded and smiled before getting into her car and speeding out of the parking lot.

The early morning sun was shining so splendidly, it was so bright that Jennie finds it difficult to open her eyes.
