Chapter 9.

Marissa POV.

Ever since Robert left, my days have gone back to be uneventful. Robert didn’t show up in front of me. Some part of me was happy about this, but a small part of me wished he would.

We have a 7 day national holiday coming up and I can’t wait to relax. Walking into the staff room at the hospital, my coworkers are all talking about their plans for the upcoming holiday. Granted, we can’t close the hospital during holidays, but the senior consultants take a break during this period and I’m one of them, so I’m happy.

Making a coffee, Lucy approaches me as I bring the goodness to my lips.

“Hey, babe. What are you planning on doing with your holiday? Anything fun?”

“No, I plan on staying home and getting some rest. How about you?” I take a sip as I wait for her reply.

“I’m going back to my hometown for the holidays. You should come too. It’s beautiful where I’m from. It’s a tropical paradise. Sun, sea, sand, and shirtless hot guys.” She says excitedly.

I chuckle at her antics.
