Chapter Seventeen
"Can you believe this day begun an hour ago, and already it's horrible!" Dr Parker begins to complain to Jerry as she walks into work. Just as she's about to finish telling him her frustrating car trouble story, Kerry walks in. She yells over the desk in a very firm tone to Audrey to meet her in her office twenty minutes later. Audrey nods, waits for her to step into the elevator, slams a chart on the admin desk and mumbles to Jerry
'great, now the day can't get worse' Jerry suddenly gives
Audrey a worried look
"You junk jinxed it, be careful!" Audrey laughs off Jerry comment she always
found him to be over superstitious.
"Dr Weaver you wanted to see me?"
"Sit." Kerry seems slightly annoyed, never a good sign. Audrey approaches the
long dark desk only to notice Ray is also sitting in the office, this can
definitely not be good. Does weaver know for ray and me? Is this about the peds
elective? Audrey's mind was running a million questions as she sat down
awaiting the worse. Ray also seems quite nervous.
Kerry pulls out Ray's application forms for the peds position
"Dr Parker, I though you would like to assist me in selecting your R2 for next September…" So much pressure has been lifted, this is about the job. Ray and Audrey look so relieved, not that they are afraid of admitting their relationship; they just don't want people to know yet. The three talk for a little while, deciding on the conditions of the residency and everything works out. Audrey and Ray are about to walk about the office as Weaver tells them one last thing;
"And about your 'private' life, please make sure you keep it quiet in the ER I do not want an intern and attending dating mess" Ray and Audrey look at each other shockingly, How did she know!
Audrey stood in the elevator thinking 'now I really don't see how the day can get worse…'
The day was really about the get quite worse for her, she just didn't know it yet.
