Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 51: Asking Questions
Scarlett's POV Lauren was waiting outside the break room this time.Same crossed arms as last time. Different level of serious.I pushed the door open and she followed me in."Someone called the hospital this morning," she said. "Asked for you by name. Not a patient. Not a family member.""What kind of questions?""Background." She held my gaze. "Name history. Where you trained. Where you were before St. Marie Memorial." A pause. "Your previous identity."The break room was very quiet."He used that phrase?" I said. "Previous identity.""He said it like it was routine," Lauren said. "Like he was reading from a list. I told him Dr. Fox was unavailable and took a number. He left one.""Did he give a name?" I asked."Ray Coulter." She watched my face. "You know it.""No," I said. "But I will.""Scarlett. Previous identity is not a phrase a patient's family member uses." She looked at me for a moment. " That's a journalist phrase. That's someone who already has a thread and is pulling it
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 50: Too Clean
Nicholas's POV The contract arrived at four seventeen.I was at my desk when the email came through. Hannah had forwarded it the way she forwarded everything, efficiently and without comment. I looked at the attachment in my inbox for a moment.Then I forwarded it to Scarlett without opening it and put my phone face down on the desk.I sat there for forty minutes doing work I wasn't fully concentrating on and waiting for my phone to move.It moved at four fifty eight.I picked up. "Did you get it?""I got it," she said."And?" I said."It's clean," she said."That's good isn't it?" I asked."No," she said. "It's not."I leaned back in my chair. "What do you mean?""A consulting engagement at that fee level has variables," she said. "Tax implications, liability clauses, performance benchmarks, dispute resolution language. Real contracts for real work are messy because real work is messy." A pause. "This contract has none of that. Every line is smooth. Every clause is standard. There's
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 49; Managing Things Is Important
Nicholas's POV The contractors arrived at ten.Three of them, two of which I recognized from the Singapore meetings, Weston, the project lead, quiet and efficient, and beside him a financial analyst whose name I'd never gotten because he mostly existed to confirm numbers Weston had already given. The third man I didn't recognize.He was introduced as Carson.He was yhe external consultant, My father said,brought in to manage the revised timeline.I shook his hand and sat down and wrote the name at the top of my notepad.The meeting started the way these meetings always started. Weston with his presentation, the Singapore project timeline on the screen, the revised completion dates and the budget adjustments and the reasons for both. I'd sat through variations of this meeting a dozen times. I knew the rhythm of it. I knew when to ask questions and when My father wanted me to stay quiet and absorb.Today I was asking questions, not aggressive ones, not the kind that made anyone look up
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 48: She's Going After Your Name
Scarlett's POV Lauren and I walked past my office, past the nursing station, all the way to the small break room at the end of the surgical corridor that nobody used before eight. She pushed the door open and checked it was empty and let it close behind us."There's a complaint," she said.I looked at her. "What kind?""Board level. Filed Friday evening." She crossed her arms. "It's informal for now, which means it hasn't triggered a formal review yet.""Which case is it?" I asked."The Smith's case." She held my gaze. "That happened six weeks ago."I was quiet for a moment. "What specifically is the complain about.""It's about the approach you used in hour three when the pressure dropped." She paused. "Whoever wrote it knows surgery, Scarlett. This isn't a patient complaint. This isn't someone's family member upset about bedside manner. Someone who understands what happens in an OR wrote this."I looked at the coffee machine."Walden," I said."His name isn't on it," Lauren said im
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 47: Reputation Under Review
Calista's POV I chose the restaurant carefully.Somewhere either of us would be recognized immediately, but not somewhere that would make him feel like he was being hidden. Men like Walden needed to feel like they were being taken seriously. A private booth at Austen's on the west side, which was quiet, with good lighting.I arrived first like I always do at important meetings.He came in at seven on the dot, which told he was a man who resented being kept waiting would never make someone else wait. He was tall, good looking in the way that had probably served him well for most of his life, wearing the kind of suit that was expensive enough to be noticeable and recent enough to be deliberate. He scanned the room when he walked in and found me before the host could direct him.He had a confident walk and he'd dressed up for this.I stood and extended my hand. "Dr. Walden. Thank you for coming.""Ms. Lancaster." He shook it with a firm grip, held a half second too long. "I'll be honest
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 46: A Mutual Interest
Calista's POV His assistant tried to stop me at the door."Ms. Lancaster, he's in a meeting...""He'll see me." I smiled at her the way I smiled at people whose job it was to be in my way. "Tell him I'm here."She picked up the phone, said my name into it. A pause, then she set it down and looked at me with the expression of someone delivering news they didn't want to."He said you can go in."I smoothed my jacket and opened the door.Nicholas was at his desk with his sleeves rolled up and a file open in front of him. He looked up when I came in."You look exhausted," I said and sat across from him. "When did you last sleep properly?""What do you need?" He closed the file."I was in the building." I crossed my legs, settled back. "I thought I'd check in. We haven't talked since the dinner.""We talked at the dinner." His voice was flat."Nicholas." I looked at him. "That wasn't talking." I tilted my head. "I'm trying to have an actual conversation with you."He looked at me for a mo
