"Is there any other patient on my waiting list for today?" Athena asked Ciara as she scrolled through the latest news spreading across the socials on her tablet.
"No, ma'am. You're done for the day," Ciara replied, looking up briefly. "The other doctors can take care of the other patients. You can rest now. You are the manager of the hospital, not just a mere doctor…"
Ciara suddenly covered her mouth, realizing she was overstepping her boundaries. Worse, her boss was now looking at her with a blank expression.
However, she relaxed when Athena chuckled heartily, shaking her head.
"Thanks for your concern, Ciara. But I will be fine. The reason I blew through my schedule today is because I have another place to be in the next hour," Athena mentioned, a smile still dancing on her lips.
"Oh, no wonder. Forgive my intrusion and assumption then, ma—" Ciara began, still apologizing even after knowing her boss wasn't angry.
