Chapter 510
A simply and cleanly decorated tea restaurant.
The restaurant wasn’t big, with six tables and chairs inside. When Scarlett Yates and Matthew Saxon walked in, there was only one empty table left.
Scarlett was a bit surprised that Matthew brought her to such an unassuming little place.
She thought he only frequented upscale restaurants.
Besides the Boss, there were only two waiters. Seeing them come in, they warmly greeted them to sit down.
“You’re here.” The Boss came out of the kitchen, delivered a bowl of braised pork rice to the table next to theirs, then turned around to greet Matthew casually.
Both the tone and expression suggested they had known each other for a long time and were on good terms.
“Yes p>
“Oh, you’ve brought someone along.” The Boss squinted, his already narrow eyes narrowing to slits.
He looked at Scarlett for a few seconds, then grinned and said, “She’s still a fresh young girl. Fella, don’t tell me she’s not of age yet p>
Matthew gave him a glare, “Stop talking nonsense and put away your improper demeanor, don’t scare off my person p>
“Your person?” The Boss seemed to have heard something intriguing, his eyes brightened, and his smile turned deep, “You’ve finally met your match, eh? That’s indeed an amusing event worth celebrating. I’ll buy a string of firecrackers to set off p>
Matthew didn’t seem upset by this, instead, he smirked and calmly said, “I don’t have time to banter with you today; she has to hurry to work. If we waste any more of her time, you can forget about getting paid for the meal p>
“I run a small business here; even dear brothers must settle accounts. Don’t think you can shirk your meal payment.” Upon hearing that Matthew might not pay, the Boss’s expression changed, immediately adopting a business-like tone. After speaking, he retreated to the kitchen again and within minutes brought out a stack of dishes.
After placing the last basket of steamed buns on the table, the Boss suddenly asked Scarlett with a friendly smile, “Young lady, are you working p>
Scarlett, although unsure of the exact relationship between the Boss and Matthew, could tell from their conversation that they were quite close. So she temporarily pushed aside her questions, smiled, and nodded to the Boss, “Yes p>
“Oh? Where do you work p>
Scarlett coughed lightly in embarrassment, “I wouldn’t say ’work’; I’m an intern, currently interning at Saint Mercy p>
“Saint Mercy? Oh, so you’re a doctor? Being a doctor is great! A noble profession, saving lives as an angel in white, highly respected, very good p>
“Um, I’m not a doctor; I’m a nurse p>
The Boss froze for a moment, then seemed to understand and nodded appreciatively with a smile, again praising, “Nurses are good too; they equally save lives as angels in white, respectable and lovely, very good p>
Saving lives, respected by many p>
Scarlett thought about the increasing incidents of medical disputes in recent years. Her lips twitched, and she let out an awkward laugh, “It’s just an ordinary job to earn a living, not as grand as the Boss described p>
This livelihood is indeed becoming harder to sustain.
A few years ago, we really were respected as angels in white. But now, if not careful, one might end up labeled as unethical and heartless quacks. Any hint of a medical mishap, whether justified or not, would risk facing family disputes.
