Chased By My Demon CEO

The working atmosphere at the hospital suddenly felt colder than usual. The nurses who were usually friendly to Viona suddenly became cold.

Only Nurse Tina was still friendly to Viona and followed her wherever she went because basically, she was Viona's personal assistant, so it was only natural for her to continue to be around her. Nurse Tina felt that it was odd that many other doctors now openly ridiculed Viona.

"Doctor Viona, you're called to the director's office immediately," said Doctor Amy, a young doctor who recently joined Global Bross Hospital.

"Alright, I'll be there," Viona replied quickly as she put her note on the table

"I really hate the new doctor, her attitude is really annoying," Nurse Tina whispered to Viona as she walked away.

Viona smiled and raised an index finger to her lips to give a code to Nurse Tina to stop saying anything. She then walked casually following Amy's footsteps to the director's room.

After Viona had left, the doctors and nurses seemed to be whispering loudly. They were gossiping that Viona was the older sister of the bar girls who did a medical check-up yesterday, and they said that she was also part of them. It made Nurse Tina angry because she couldn't accept that her doctor was rumored as such.

"You are all honorable doctors, but how can you gossip like that?!!" Nurse Tina scolded them in a rising voice as she hit the table in front of her.

"Doctor Viona can sue you all!!" she added, as she walked away from those doctors and nurses who gossiped about Doctor Viona, the only doctor at Global Bross hospital who was the friendliest among other doctors.

In the office, the director sat together with the senior doctors, along with other hospital officials, and investors facing a table, just like in a courtroom. Among the rows of people was Fernando, who sat calmly, staring intently at Viona without blinking, and occasionally smiling slightly at Viona.

The door opened roughly from the outside.

"Sorry, I'm late," said Professor Frank, panting as he walked in quickly..

"It's okay, sir, the trial hasn't started yet," said Doctor Amy with a teasing smile at Professor Frank, as she pulled a chair for him to sit down.

"Thanks," replied Professor Frank in a friendly manner, as he sat in the chair pulled by Doctor Amy.

Fernando smiled faintly as he saw Frank sit down. He winked at Frank, as if he was giving a code, and was responded with a nod by Frank, as he covered his mouth while coughing.

Viona just rolled her eyes at the siblings' behavior. She was already very disgusted by these two men who shared the same gene pools. 

"Doctor Viona Angel, how long have you worked in this hospital?" Asked a senior doctor to open the trial for the doctor's code of ethics.

"It's been ten months, sir," Viona replied calmly.

"Do you know why we asked you to come here?" asked the middle-aged female doctor, continuing the first doctor's question.

"I know this is a code of ethics trial for doctors who break the rules, but I don't know the reason that I'm invited to this trial," Viona replied fearlessly.

Doctor Amy then turned on a projector that displayed photos of Viona's younger siblings who did a medical check-up yesterday, Doctor Amy even displayed police records regarding Viona's ten younger siblings in front of everyone in the office.

"You know them, don't you?" asked the senior female doctor with an elevated tone.

"Yes, they were my foster siblings when we lived at the orphanage back then," Viona answered honestly.

"That means you also know that they are now working as female sex workers?" asked Professor Frank suddenly, with a cold tone as he glared at Viona.

"You do know the rule in this hospital that we only accept those who don't have any shady records in the police or family history ...

"Well then, I'll resign as soon as possible!!" Viona said quickly, interrupting the senior doctor's words as she stood up from her chair and prepared to leave.

Seeing Viona walking towards the door made Fernando get up from his chair and held Viona's hand tightly, his eyes staring at Viona sharply.

"So is this your way, huh? Every time there is a problem, you immediately left without the courage to face it, just like the way you left me?" Fernando asked in a whisper.

"Why do I have to explain to people who don't believe in my words? Won't that be in vain?" Viona replied, glaring at Fernando after successfully releasing his hand. 

Seeing Viona and Fernando argued had made Frank feel jealous. He violently pounded the table in front of him, which shocked everyone in the room, including Viona and Fernando, who were still standing by the door.

"Doctor Viona, solve this problem boldly, don't be a coward!! Return to your seat and explain to us, and don't run away like a disgusting fox!!" shouted Professor Frank in a rising voice.

"Prof ..." Doctor Amy tried to calm the young professor.

"Get lost and shut your mouth!!" Professor Frank scolded so harshly that the young doctor was scared, as she never saw the professor, who was an idol in the hospital, behaved so rudely. 

"Speak, don't just go away!! We want to know the truth." Professor Frank said with a softer tone. 

Fernando pulled Viona's hand to sit back in her chair. Viona only smiled thinly when she saw how angry Frank had become. She knew that Frank was angry not because of what the doctors had said, but because Fernando had touched her hand.

After knowing Frank's true color, Viona became smarter. She took the opportunity for her own benefit.

"Accompany me here, Mr. Willan, I know you are an important person in this hospital," Viona asked in a coyish tone to Fernand. She held Fernando back, so the man, who was going to return to his chair, stood beside Viona in front of everyone in the room.

"As you wish," Fernando replied gladly. He thought that Viona had fallen into his trap.

Seeing Fernando stand by Viona's side in front of everyone made Frank's heart burn with jealousy. Viona realized that, and she intentionally stood closer to Fernando.

Viona then answered all the questions from the hospital officials in front of her. She also told them her past, when she left the orphanage after Maria passed away.

Viona even had to tell them that she used to work at Fernando's house as a nanny, to which Fernando justified directly, so that the accusation that she was also involved in the dark world like her younger siblings was successfully denied.

After a long discussion, it was finally decided that Viona had nothing to do with the occupation of her siblings, so that she was considered innocent and her name was cleared of all these obscene accusations.

Hearing that her name was declared clean made Viona smile widely, and she spontaneously hugged Fernando. However, she quickly let go of her hug from Fernando when she realized that many people were watching them.

"Sorry. Sir," said Viona, in embarrassment. 

"It's okay, Doctor. Once again, congratulations. Forgive us for believing such cheap news," Fernando replied professionally, although, in his heart, he was very happy because Viona had hugged him.

The doctors and other hospital officials also expressed their apologies and promised to thoroughly investigate the mastermind who had caused the rumor about Viona spread around the hospital. Hearing this, Viona was happy because the hospital would officially help clear her name.

"Congratulations, Doctor. I hope you can be more professional in the future," said Professor Frank, holding Viona's hand hard.

"It's all because of your help, Sir," Viona replied, trying to stay calm. She knew that Frank was angry with her.

"Okay, now you can return to your work, Doc," added Fernando quickly, as he pulled Frank's hand that was still holding Viona's.

Viona smiled at the behavior of these two men in front of her. After shaking hands with everyone in the room, Viona finally left the meeting room.

When she reached the hallway, where there were no people, she turned quickly to the bathroom and washed her hands that Fernando and Frank had touched. She felt very disgusted by those two men.

"Mother, please protect me," Viona said softly, as she looked at her face on the mirror. She knew that Frank and Fernando wouldn't let her go that easily.
