I remembered Ben and shook him out of my head.
"Oh uh, there was no reason for that. It was a little boring, so I didn't want to bother telling you anyway," I said with a nervous chuckle.
"You sure? Anyway, never mind," she sighed. "Onto the second reason I wanted to see you. You're still a travel nurse, aren't you?"
"I mean it's why you're paying me here," I smiled.
"Olivia, could you come read us a story? It's story time," one of the children called to me.
"I'll be over there soon," I replied and turned my attention to the doctor. "Yeah, it's why you pay me."
"Well, you've been here for a without actually traveling such that everyone here thinks you work here permanently," she explained. "Which is a good thing because you motivate the other nurses to do their jobs properly."
"Thank you," I said, "but where is this going? I gave a feeling it's something serious."
"Well, not to force you or anything, but do you want to travel for work?" she asked.
"Where am I going?" I asked.
"Well, you'll be going to America," she replied. "Join me in my office let's talk some more.
I followed her to her office. I planned to travel out that year, but I never found an opportunity to do so. So I was excited about an opportunity to let me leave.
"A friend of mine is running a special program at his hospital and wants to host some nurses," she explained "He asked me to send someone, so I thought about you."
"You want me to represent the hospital?'" I asked.
"Something like that," she replied, "Well you're going there to work for yourself really."
"When am I going to go?" I asked.
"You're supposed to be there next month," she replied. "You didn't even ask where in America you'd be going."
"Oh, skipped my mind completely, sorry," I apologized. "Where are you shipping me of to?"
"Richmond, Virginia," she replied.
Ben stays in Richmond. Could it be his hospital that needed the nurses?
"It's a billion-dollar hospital, owned my Dr. Ethan Sullivan," she said as if it to answer my inner thoughts.
"Oh thank goodness." I let out a relieved sigh.
"Did something happen?"
"No, it's nothing, I just… it's nothing," I scratched the side of my face and looked away.
"You seem like you're hiding something, but I don't think I want to bother knowing." She sighed and looked at her desk, "Why am I not still done with all these files?"
"Because you're busy?" I raised a brow.
"Right," she sighed. "And I've been so busy with the kids and… oh, sorry."
"Hey, you don't have to apologize. I'm still grieving about Sophia, but that doesn't mean you have to walk on eggshells around me," I said.
To be honest I didn't like it when everyone else at the hospital couldn't talk about their kids or life around me because I would be offended. If anything, excluding me and apologizing was a bigger challenge.
"I'm sorry about that," she said. "So, are you going to join the nurse transfer program?"
