Chapter 601
“Isn’t this too rushed?” One moment it was decided, and the next moment she was told to hurry to A City. It was too urgent.
“It’s precisely because we’re short-staffed that you’re being sent over so quickly. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been assigned to A City.” Seeing Scarlett Yates’ surprised expression, Hayes Simmons was equally helpless.
This wasn’t his idea; it was at the insistence of that guy, Matthew Saxon.
Hayes Simmons was also quite curious and puzzled by this.
Sending someone away in such a hurry was really strange, forcing him to come up with such a lame excuse to fool others.
Clearly, Scarlett Yates didn’t believe his words.
With such a large hospital offering great benefits, how could they possibly be understaffed?
It was obvious that Hayes Simmons was unwilling to tell her the real reason and just made up a random excuse.
But she didn’t expose Hayes Simmons’ lie. She pretended to consider it for a while and then nodded, “Okay, I’ll go pack my things now p>
After saying this, she got up to leave.
Suddenly remembering something, she turned around, only to see Hayes Simmons frowning deeply, rubbing a bruise at the corner of his eye.
Seeing her turn back, Hayes Simmons immediately released his hand, sat up straight, and assumed the composed demeanor of a director, raising his eyebrows slightly, “Miss Yates, is there something else p>
“It’s about the fight in the locker room yesterday afternoon Olivia Smith was defending her which led her to fight with Serena Lee. She didn’t want another colleague to suffer because of her.
“Serena Lee provoked first, so she’ll have her month’s bonus deducted and be disqualified from the excellent nurse selection. As for Olivia Smith, half a month’s salary deduction will suffice p>
This was considered a very light punishment, a symbolic penalty.
Scarlett Yates breathed a sigh of relief, completely at ease. A slight smile appeared at the corner of her lips, “Thank you, Director, for going easy on them p>
From packing to catching a ride to another city, it took only two hours.
When Scarlett Yates boarded the train heading to A City with her suitcase, she had just settled her belongings when she received a call from an unknown number.
It was an unknown call because the incoming number wasn’t any from her contact list.
Just a series of unfamiliar digits.
She often received various sales promotions or scam calls, so Scarlett Yates usually ignored unknown numbers.
But this particular number was persistent and kept ringing for a long time.
After the first call ended, it immediately rang again.
It wasn’t until the second call had rung for quite a while that Scarlett Yates hesitantly pressed the answer button.
A man’s voice, clear and pleasant, rich and melodious like a luxurious cello, transmitted through the receiver, magnetic, “Miss Yates p>
Scarlett Yates’ hand trembled, almost dropping her phone.
That voice p>
She was surprised and remained silent for a few seconds, then uncertainly asked, “Maxwell Saxon p>
“It’s me p>
Scarlett Yates fell silent again.
This was the first time Maxwell Saxon had ever called her.
The voice over the phone was slightly different from reality, so she hadn’t been completely sure it was him.
Now that she was sure, her expression changed, frowning slightly, “How did you get my number p>
She remembered never telling him, nor had he asked.
