CHAPTER 08
"The day finally came for Jake to be discharged from the hospital, and since I was covering for Dr. Henson I had to perform the discharge examination." Samantha said.
Raquel said, "Was Uncle Jake still be an asshole to you?"
"He was irritated when I walked in his room, but I had just gotten out of surgery where I lost a newborn and wasn't in the mood for his shit."
"So you discharged him?"
"Yes, after I walked out on him the first time. I felt so relieved when I signed his discharge papers, that meant him and your father would be out of my life. That 's what I get for thinking."
"Well, you have painted a different picture of Dad and Uncle Jake."
"Please, don't think differently of them, it was 25 years ago and all of us have come to terms with issues we had back then."
"In a way, it seems romantic but then it seems complicated. So what happened that you and Dad hooked back up?"
Samantha sighed thinking of the Monday after Jake was released said, "I was backed into a corner and had to ask your Dad for a favor."
The staff meeting was set for Monday at 10 am, but before that Malcolm walked into Samantha's office.
"Hey, how things go over the weekend? I see Mr. Shaw was discharged."
"The weekend was quiet, but Friday was not a good day. I lost the Newman baby in surgery, no matter how you try not to get emotional, it's always there waiting to show itself."
"I'm sorry, don't forget the Black Tie Gala Friday night."
"Do I have to go? I hate these things." Samantha pleaded.
"Yes, as the Assistant Chief of Surgery you have to make an appearance. Why don't you ask your new friend to go with you?"
Samantha raised her eyebrow, "And who would that be?"
"Agent Donovan." Malcolm stated.
"What makes you think he's my new friend?"
"Well, by the way you get tense around him and the way he gives you that look when he sees you."
"And what look is that?"
"That he appreciates your beauty and given the chance would definitely be interested in a relationship."
"Thanks for the insight, but the answer to you and him is no."
"You need to try and see if you can get pass the incident, what better way is if he's on your turf."
"And what if I can't get pass it and make a fool out of myself?"
"You won't know if you don't try. Let's go to staff meeting."
They both exited her office to go to the boardroom for the meeting.
The Chief of Staff conducted the old and new business then turned it over to Dr. Susan Sullivan for the briefing on the upcoming Gala.
She went through the same explaining of the importance of this Gala to the hospital and then asked the doctors about their guest.
When she got to Samantha she said, " I can assume that you will be going solo again this year?" Before Samantha answered Malcolm said, "Actually, Samantha will be taking a guest with her this year."
Malcolm had succeeded in shocking Susan by the look on her face and Samantha struggled to keep her expression normal. The meeting soon ended after that.
Samantha waited for Malcolm to be alone when she said, "What did you do that for?"
Malcolm replied, "Because Susan smug attitude pissed me off and two because if you're not going to make the effort, I am going to push so you have to."
"Great." Samantha said as she walked away.
"So here I was backed into a corner and at that time your Dad was probably my only way to save face. Somehow I had to get the courage to ask him and see what it was going to cost me for him to do it."
