In the photo, Glenn wore a trench coat, bending down to lift a woman into a car.
The photographer had clearly done their best with the angle, but the shot only managed to capture the man’s striking profile and sharply defined nose, while the woman’s face was entirely shielded by him.
Inside the hospital, Liam glanced at the photo, flipped to the next page, and thought nothing of it.
For some reason, though, the hospital’s internal forum–which was usually buzzing with all sorts of gossip–had exploded with posts about this photo. Thanks to some overly enthusiastic commenters, Liam quickly learned the man’s name: Glenn, along with a few details about him.
He couldn’t help feeling a little bored.
But he was used to this by now.
Most of the nurses here were women, always busy and stressed, so their moods tended to run high and low. Whenever an attractive man appeared, they’d get excited and chatter about him endlessly.
Liam remembered when he first started at the hospital, his own photos had been plastered all over the forum, with nurses swooning and discussing him in hushed tones. He’d even had young nurses approach him shyly in the hallway, cheeks flushed, offering him fruit and asking if he’d like to see a movie together.
Thinking of this, Liam pulled out his phone and admired his own reflection on the glossy screen.
He really was good–looking.
That guy in the photo? Not even on his level.
Probably just the novelty of a new face, he figured. Sooner or later, the girls would come back around to his type.
Just as he entertained this thought, he noticed two nurses looking his way, eyes sparkling.
Suppressing a grin, Liam ran a hand through his short hair, trying to look even more handsome, then slipped his hands into his pockets and put on his best aloof
expression, strolling casually toward them.
The two nurses hurried toward him, clearly excited.

As they drew closer, Liam prepared himself–ready to be stopped at any moment.
Usually, this was when they’d ask him a few simple questions about the hospital or a patient’s condition. He’d answer politely, and they’d pretend not to understand, using it as an excuse to ask for his number or have him show them the way somewhere. anything to keep the conversation going a bit longer.
He could handle these interactions without breaking a sweat.
With that in mind, Liam let a smile tug at his lips.
But as they were just about to pass each other, the nurses showed no sign of stopping him–instead, they clutched each other’s hands, whispering, “He’s so handsome, so handsome p>

Maybe he’d gotten even better looking lately, and they too dazzled to speak.

He followed their gaze and saw them nearly running, trying to compose themselves as they hurried over to Glenn, who was picking up a prescription at the counter not far away.
They said something to him, and Glenn smiled politely, obviously turning them down. With a nod, he stepped aside and walked away.
But instead of being disappointed, the two nurses practically vibrated with excitement.

Glenn, but a man in a black suit appeared out of nowhere, quietly stopping them.
Rather than getting upset, the nurses just nodded sweetly and put their phones
away.
