Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Being a Good Dad (1)

Carolline Ruiz stood on the side, glaring fiercely at the smiling culprit, and finally couldn’t help but step forward and grab Bryan Hawkins’ arm, saying firmly, "Come with me."

Bryan naturally was delighted and followed Carolline without saying a word.

There was nowhere else to go during work hours, so they could only return to their office room. After they entered, Carolline locked the door for the first time, not knowing that this would deepen the misunderstandings of those outside even more.

Turning around, she angrily looked at the person who still hadn’t realized his mistake, "Mr. Hawkins, if you can’t cooperate with our work, please don’t cause trouble for us, okay?"

"What trouble did I cause?" Bryan feigned innocent and asked. Yesterday night she didn’t want to talk to him, and even now she barely spoke, but at least she was talking to him angrily, which was better than ignoring him.

Carolline really wanted to choke him with salty soda water - how could he blatantly lie like that? Did she need to make it more obvious?

"We are nurses, do you know how important a nurse’s responsibilities are? At any time, a critically ill patient may come in, requiring everyone’s full attention to save them, and your actions distract them. If the patient’s family complains, whether it’s their fault or not, it will affect them. Besides, think about it from another perspective: if I were to buy some snacks and drinks for your Hawkins Family reception staff during working hours, would you be happy?"

Carolline rattled off a long string of complaints against him.

Really, with the current tense relationship between doctors and patients, if some families saw the nurses eating and drinking so extravagantly during work hours and had a mental breakdown, spreading it online, what would become of People Hospital?

In fact, there wasn’t really an issue, but the power of the internet was so strong that a small problem could be blown up by tens of millions of netizens, and she couldn’t bear that responsibility or provoke such a group.

"I know how important a nurse’s responsibilities are. Saving lives is a doctor’s duty, and even if a critically ill patient comes in, the first person they see is a doctor, not a nurse. And nurses are people too; they need to eat and drink just like everyone else. Moreover, their work today isn’t that busy, is it? People need to rest and relax, and no one could handle such high-intensity work like you. Plus, if you were the one buying afternoon tea for the Hawkins Family staff, not only would I not be unhappy, but I’d also be very pleased, as you’d be helping me win people’s hearts over. As the boss, I need to rally the staff’s loyalty."

His last sentence meant that if Carolline really did that, he would be overjoyed as she would be his virtuous helpmate, let alone get angry.

"..." Carolline was instantly enraged, her face turning red. She didn’t know why, but she understood what he meant by that last sentence and thought to herself, it was only she who would feel embarrassed talking with such a shameless person.

"I’m a businessman, and thick-skinned is a forte of businessmen. If you’re thin-skinned, how can you negotiate deals with people?" Carolline’s inner thoughts were once again seen through by Bryan.

"Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. You go back to work, and I’ll just read the newspaper on the side. If you really feel that my presence here has a significant impact on you, then give me the keys to our house, and I’ll go home first," Bryan suggested.

"..." Carolline was clearly unhappy. If she really gave him the keys, what would her position be? But if she didn’t give them, would it make him misunderstand that she didn’t want him to leave and wanted him to stay? "Can’t you go to your own house? Grandma Hawkins hasn’t seen you for five years, and since you’re back, shouldn’t you spend more time with them?"
