Chapter 174 - Do you have a Girlfriend?

Jacob looked at J with a knitted brow and said. "I don't have a girlfriend."

"Oh really. Didn't she just arrive yesterday and gave you an intimate kiss?"

Head Nurse Jing covered her mouth with both her hands in shock. Since when did Nurse J learn to talk back to her Boss? Is she out of her mind? Didn't she want her job anymore?

Diana let out a silent chuckle.

"Nurse J, Dr. Ivanov is not my girlfriend," Jacob said in a menacing tone.

"But everyone in the hospital knows that she is your girlfriend. Isn't it unfair that she is proudly saying that you are her boyfriend while you, on the other hand, is denying her?" J replied looking at Jacob accusing.

Jacob clenched his jaw.

"Nurse J! That's enough!" Head Nurse Jing was enraged.

J shot Jacob an intimidating look before she lowered her head.

"Ahem... how about you Nurse J? You have never attended a Foundation Gala. You should attend this year. Don't worry, Dr. Gonzales and his wife will probably ask for their son to be your escort. Ha-ha." Dr. Ramos said to loosen up the tension. But it only fueled the fire.

The OR Theater's temperature dropped from 18 degrees Celsius to 0.

After the operation is done, everyone steps out of the OR Theater feeling exasperated. It was the heaviest and most intense surgery they ever have done. Not because of the patient but because of the atmosphere.

At the Nurse's Station Jacob is in a bad temper. "Everyone! Since all of you loves to gossip let me give you a piece of something to talk about. Dr. Stella Ivanov is not my girlfriend. This is a fact, not a rumor." Dr. Stella who was still sitting in the Nurse's Station bit her lip in embarrassment. Jacob just announced to everyone that she is not her girlfriend like she is not there. He started to treat her like she is invisible.

"In fact, she was never my girlfriend. And I never had an interest in her. So stop spreading rumors." His last word was intended for Dr. Stella.

Before he turned to leave, he looked at J with complex emotion. J was taken aback. Is he mad at me? She thought. She clenched her fist tightly then she turned away. Jacob and J simultaneously walked away in a different direction.

After her shift, she headed back to Naupaka Racing Circuit. On their way, she put on her headphones and closed her eyes. She thought about what Jacob said earlier at the Nurse's Station. Was she wrong?

J has never been in a relationship and was used to be alone and she is quite slow when communicating directly. She wasn't able to figure out her feelings, she didn't know how to express them and was afraid to listen to Jacob's explanation. She even avoided him. If Jacob didn't indirectly explain his side, she wouldn't have known.

"Arthur?" J called Arthur with her eyes still closed.

"Yes, Miss J?" Arthur replied with his eyes focused on the road.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" J opened her eyes and looked at Arthur's reflection on the rear-view mirror.

Arthur was surprised. His Lady Boss is initiating a conversation. Did the sun shine in the West this morning? He furrowed his brows in confusion and checked out on her on the rear-view mirror. He saw her looking at him. She is expectant.

"No." Arthur darted his eyes away from J and turned to look back on the road.

"Have you had any girlfriend before?" J asked.
