The Doctor And The CEO

Matt then sped away from that place and once he reached a deserted area, he stopped his car to one side and cried his heart out.

'Why did I had to fall for her in spite of knowing her heart belonged to Steve?'

'Why did I let myself get attracted to her?' 

'Why did I fell in love with her?'

'Why is she the only woman, who can drive me crazy to this extent?'

Matt cried for more than an hour thinking of all good memories he shared with Lisa, which were now hurting him the most.

After crying for a while, he decided he has to move on and he can't act like this.

He composed himself and headed to his home.

On the way, he decided he will get over Lisa and will never cry over her again and he would stay strong.

After he reached home, he found Lisa in his living room and was surprised to see her there.

"Hi Matt" Lisa brightly smiled at him.

The moment he saw Lisa, he recollected seeing her kiss Steve and it made him upset but he composed himself, recollecting the promise he made before coming here that he will try his best to get over her.

"Hey" Steve tried to act casual.

"I am so sorry for being here. Patrick requested me to be here for a while as he and Ems…"

"Hmm, got it" Matt headed towards his room when Lisa stopped him.

"Hey Matt, I want to share something with you" She excitedly said.

"Not now Lisa, I am very tired, I would like to sleep now" He informed her as her bright smile was hurting him.

'I should be happy seeing the woman I love happy. That's what they say in movies, if you truly love someone, you let them go and your happiness lies in their happiness. So, instead of getting annoyed by that beautiful smile, I should be happy about it' Matt thought to himself while walking towards his room.

"Did you have your dinner?" Lisa asked him, worriedly.

Matt stopped in his tracks and without turning back, he lied, "Yeah, I did" he then closed his room door and went to sleep.

Lisa got upset seeing his reaction but assuming he is indeed tired, she decided to share the news she had, the next day.

…

Next day

Matt was not in a good mood and he didn't sleep properly as he kept thinking about last night.

So he postponed one minor surgery he had that day and scheduled it to the next day as it was not a big surgery and he was not in the state to operate on the patient. 

He can't ruin someone's life because of his heart break.

After a while, Matt was having headache, so he went to the vending machine to get some coffee. 

When he almost reached the machine, he stopped in his tracks seeing Lisa and Steve talking to each other.

They both were smiling and happy.

'I should be happy for her, not get sad seeing them happy together' Matt told himself and turned away to leave as it was hurting him to see them together.

He went back to his office and sat on the big chair behind the table. He leaned his head back on the headrest and closed his eyes.

'Lisa, finally got what she wants. I should be happy for her. I should not be jealous of Steve or envy him.' Matt told himself but another image was being build inside his wishful memory, where it was him and Lisa at the vending machine, talking and smiling at one another.

Matt even imagined pushing her to that vending machine and kissing her hard.

'STOP, STOP IT' Matt scolded himself as he couldn't control his mind from replacing Steve and placing himself with Lisa.

"This is wrong, Matt, this is wrong"

"What is wrong?" 

Matt suddenly opened his eyes to see Daniel standing at the entrance of his office.

"What?" Matt was confused at Daniel's question.

Daniel entered his office and sat across him on the chair.

"You kept saying 'this is wrong', 'this is wrong', so I was asking you what is wrong?" Daniel explained himself.

That's when Matt realized instead of saying it in his mind, he had been voicing his thoughts out aloud.

"Why are you here?" Matt asked him as Daniel rarely visits his cabin, ignoring what Daniel just questioned.

"It is lunch hour and you didn't come to get me like you always do so today I decided to come over to bring you there" Daniel explained.

"Oh, it is already lunch hour" Matt was surprised to see time pass away so quickly. He felt glad for not having coffee earlier.

"What? You didn't realize it? Are you alright?" Daniel was surprised as Matt never forgets lunch hour.

Daniel even believed lunch hour is Matt's favourite time in the whole day.

"Yeah, I am fine" Matt tried to smile but the pain in his eyes was way too evident.

"Matt, I have known you long enough to see through your lies" Daniel calmly said.

"Hmm, I am not fine but I will be" Matt honestly said as there was no point in denying the truth when he was with Daniel.

"You want to talk about it?" Daniel could see Matt was going through something difficult.

Matt shook his head, "I don't want to"

"Hmm, do you want to have lunch at the hospital canteen or do you want to go out somewhere? My treat" Daniel didn't like seeing the cheerful guy look sad and dejected. 

Matt is a foodie, so Daniel thought he can improve his mood by offering him to take him to a good restaurant.

"No Dan, thanks for the offer but I am not in the mood to eat anything" 

Daniel then went to the hospital canteen and brought some food to Matt's cabin. He pursued him to eat and finally Matt gave in and ate the lunch.
