"You know, at times like these, it is really hard to love my job," Valerie sighed, looking at the hospital that she and Markus were about to start working at. It was run-down, tacky, and in the middle of Alaska.
"It was your choice to follow me here, Val," Markus said.
"I know that, Markus. I'm just not sure why you came here of all places, that's all."
"Well, this place said they needed surgeons, so why not come here? Besides, this is a nice place, Val."
"You call this nice?" Valerie asked, waving her hand around for emphasis. "We're in the middle of nowhere!"
"Ah, are you the two surgeons from Concordia Medical Institute?" a man asked, walking towards the two surgeons.
"Yeah," Markus said, heading towards him with Valerie in tow.
"Great. I'm Miles Hoover, the director here at Montgomery Memorial Hospital," Dr. Hoover said.
"It's nice to meet you, sir. I'm Markus Vaughn, and this is-"
"I'm his partner, Valerie Blaylock. It's a pleasure to meet you, sir," Valerie cut Marcus off.
"Well then, I guess I should show you around so you know where everything is. Please, follow me, Dr. Vaughn, Dr. Blaylock," Dr. Hoover said, heading towards the building.
"Val, just try to think of this as a learning opportunity. You're still pretty new at this in the first place. Just treat this like you're still at Concordia," Markus said, following Dr. Hoover.
"I will not lose my temper with Markus for his arrogance. I. Will. Not," Valerie muttered, following her new boss and Markus.
