Chapter 2

Charlotte took a sip of her coffee she just bought at the cafeteria. She smiled to herself and made way to one of the tables to finish her coffee and a muffin. She glanced around her, taking in the people going past each other. Receiving a smile from an orderly she met that morning, she turned back to finish her coffee, wondering if she'd see the doctor from yesterday.

She briefly closed her eyes, frowning at the thought of all the work that waited for her up in her office.

'Wham!' Charlotte opened her eyes and found herself being stared at by a dark haired female, doctor?

''Good afternoon?'' Charlotte greeted her.'' all she got in return was a blank stare coming her way from, Dr. Yang (name tag).

Charlotte raised an eyebrow and stared coolly back at Dr. Yang.

''Christina! I was still talking to you when you just weren't there anymore!'' A strawberry blonde ranted towards the apparent dr. Christina Yang.

''Oh hello! My name is Meredith and you are?'' Charlotte looked away from Christina into the blue eyes of Meredith. ''I'm Charlotte, it's a pleasure meeting you!'' Charlotte and Meredith share a friendly smile.

''Well yes, yes, now we know your name. What are you doing here?'' Christina sarcasticly directed at Charlotte.

''Christina! Don't be rude!'' Meredith chided Christina. Christina shrugged her shoulders and went right back to glaring at Charlotte. Charlotte looked from the apologetic expression on Meredith's face back to the glare Christina was giving her.

Then, she started laughing. ''Well,'' she laughed at their expressions ranging from confused and upset to friendly and welcoming, ''I am the hospital's 'in-house' legal representitive.'' She said smiling.

Christina almost choked on her apple. ''You? A lawyer?'' She asked.

Meredith rolled her eyes, ''Sorry about Christina, she doesn't mix well with others.'' Christina turned her glare on Meredith. Charlotte laughed again, ''No problem! It was a pleasure meeting both of you! But unfortunately I have to run, I have a meeting to attend. I'm sure I'll see you both around?'' Charlotte stood, taking her coffee with her and smiling at the two doctors.

Meredith smiled back and answered for both of them, ''Ofcourse!'' Charlotte kept smiling and left, walking to the elevator with coffee in hand. Quite oblivious to the fact that numerous others were glancing curiously at her.

Christina was still grumpy when Alex joined them not 10 minutes later. Alex frowned and turned to Meredith, ''Who pissed off Yang?''

Meredith giggled, ''Christina is just upset that her glare only got laughter out of Charlotte!'' Meredith answered. ''Hmpf!'' Christina got up and left without a word to either of them.

''Wait, you met Charlotte? Charlotte Moss?'' Alex asked Meredith. She frowned, ''We met Charlotte, the legal rep? Why?'' Alex slumped a bit and looked down at his food. He had no idea why, seeing that he has never even spoken to her, but he felt sad that he didn't get to meet her.

He was so deep in thought, he never realised Mark joined them.

Mark frowned but didn't ask questions...

''So,'' he started, looking at Meredith seductively, ''Will you be my date for Friday night's function?''

Meredith laughed, ''I was wondering when you were going to get around to asking me!'' She smiled at him brightly, ''Ofcourse I will be your date...''

Mark gave her a small kiss on her cheek.

''Hey Alex?'' Mark spoke to Alex. Alex looked over when he heard his name being called. He was confused as to when Mark joined them.

''Yeah?''

Mark smirked and put his arm around Meredith's shoulders, ''I hope you are looking forward to Friday night?''

Alex frowned, ''Friday night?''

Mark laughed, ''Whoa where's your mind hiding? The banquet with the Board and welcoming a certain blonde lawyer into our mist...'' Alex looked bewildered at Mark, but he didn't reply. He got paged, stood and left quickly after giving the two remaining ones a brief ''C'ya later.''

Mark looked over at Meredith who was giving him a strange look, ''Oh that? Well I think they would look cute together, don't you?'' He asked her cockilly in his best imitation of a female voice.

Meredith laughed so loud, a group of nurses at a table near by gave her strange looks, as if thinking, ''What the Hell?''
