Maybe he was serious. But forgiving him and letting him have another chance was not happening.
Chapter ten
Life in a New Location
Ethan
"What do you mean there's no five-star hotel around here?" I asked Stacy.
As promised I was there the next day. I arrived in Glen Allen with the intent not only to start my new life, but help the Roberts's with their new hospital. My plan was to find a nice hotel and lodge close enough for an easy commute. I had brought my Mercedes, though.
But…
"It's exactly like I said, there are no five-star hotels," she repeated. "God, I forgot how much of a rich guy you are."
"So where am I supposed to sleep then?" I asked.
"There's always the chance of you sleeping in your car," she suggested and shrugged. "Or you could sleep in a ward. Unfortunately, we don't have a psychiatric one."
"You're really laying it on me, aren't you?" I sighed.
"Not enough to get through that skull but what can I do anyway?" She sighed as well.
"This little…" I stopped speaking and stifled myself. "Are there any hotels at least?"
"I don't think so. But there are guest houses or inns," she replied.
"What's that?"
"They offer bed and breakfast," she explained as she found a lab coat and handed it to me to wear, "Wear this."
"I have my own coat," I said.
"This has our insignia; if you're going to work here, you're going to wear it," she insisted as she forced it into my hands.
"At my hospital, everyone wears their own coat," I pointed out. "In fact, we just wear scrubs. I mean you were there. Why don't you wear scrubs here?"
"Well, it was my mother's idea, and I'm rather fond of it." She smiled and switched back to a frown.
"I didn't…I'm sorry," I apologized.
"Don't be, we actually wear scrubs. I'm just messing with you," she admitted.
"You're one hell of a boss," I said.
"But unfortunately, I can't fire you," she said and walked past me. "Work starts immediately."
"I guess where I'll sleep has to wait then," I groaned and dutifully put on the coat. "When was this last washed?"
"Enough of you and just get out here," she demanded as she went ahead of me.
"Fine, whatever," I sighed and followed after her.
I don't know how word got out, but people found out I was here and a lot of people came out to see me.
"Who could have told them I was coming?" I asked.
"Why don't you ask the Mercedes Benz outside?" she retorted and shook her head negatively. "You just find brand new ways to annoy me don't you?"
