While Viona was cursing the pungent smell of fragrance in the doctor's break room, Professor Frank suddenly appeared from the door which shocked Viona. She didn't expect to meet her boss who was also her brother-in-law at the hospital this early.

"What's this smell?" Professor Frank asked Viona by covering his nose.

​​

"I don't know either. I think it comes from that air freshener!!" Viona answered quietly, pointing at the room air freshener that repeatedly gave off a strange rose scent.

Professor Frank immediately walked and approached the air freshener pointed by Viona, he then took it off quickly after he turned it off.

"Who put up a bad air freshener like this in the hospital?" Professor Frank said after he sniffed the unpleasant smell of the perfume bottle inside the spray machine.

"I'm not sure about that, the air freshener was already installed when I just came and entered this room," Viona replied, shrugging her shoulders.

"It looks like the cleaning service in this hospital doesn't do their job properly," Professor Frank said angrily as he threw the bottle of perfume that smelled badly into the trash can.

After throwing the air freshener bottle that smelled bad in the trash, Professor Frank then came out of the doctor's break room with an unfriendly face while leaving Viona alone. Shortly thereafter, the sound of several people walking towards the doctors' break room made Viona curious, when she was about to walk outside to find out what made such noise, Viona's steps stopped because she saw Professor Frank came back with several cleaning staff and the hospital's head of cleaning.

"Tell me who put awful perfume like that in this room?" Professor Frank asked the cleaning staff, pointing to the trash where he dumped the smelly perfume bottle.

"What do you mean awful perfume, Professor?" asked Dony, the general affair at the hospital.

"Take a look and see it for yourself, you could tell the pungent smell produced by the bottle!!" replied Professor Frank, folding his hands.

The man named Dony immediately walked towards the trash can as shown by Professor Frank, he slowly grabbed the perfume bottle that was in the trash can specifically for dry trash. He then sprayed a little of the contents of the fragrance bottle which was still heavy, and soon an unpleasant smell filled the doctors' break room, causing Viona and Professor Frank, and several other people in the room to cover their noses with their hands.

"Now you already know what your mistake was, right?" scolded Professor Frank with a sharp gaze at Dony, the manager in the general affairs department at Global Bross hospital.

"I'm so sorry, Sir, I promise this kind of accident will not happen again," Dony replied regretfully as he bowed his head because he felt guilty for not doing his job well.

"I think the fragrance has expired, so it smells bad or something ... try to check all the fragrances in this hospital, don't let the patients in this hospital complain about it as well," said Professor Frank in an elevated tone.

"Yes, Sir," said Dony, nodding his head slowly.

After that, Dony also asked all of his subordinates to do the task given by Professor Frank, and soon the doctor's break room was quiet again, leaving only Viona and Professor Frank.

"What time did you arrive in the break room, Vio?" Professor Frank asked slowly.

"It wasn't long before you arrived, Sir," Viona answered with a smile, she still remembered what Professor Frank said in Fernando's office before.

"Have you had breakfast?" Professor Frank asked back.

"Yes, I've already had a chance to taste the food made by the canteen staff," Viona answered honestly.

"Wow, what a shame! I was planning to ask you to have breakfast with me," Professor Frank squeaked in a barely audible voice.

Viona smiled thinly at what her boss just said, she then walked slowly towards the exit behind Professor Frank.

"Come on, I'll accompany you to eat, Sir," said Viona, inviting Professor Frank to go to the canteen.

"Alright, then," answered Professor Frank with sparkling eyes following Viona who was already at the exit.

The two of them then walked towards the canteen room when it was half-past six in the morning and there were already several doctors and nurses who had started to arrive. Several doctors who were on guard at night were seen walking towards the canteen to drink coffee with their colleagues who also had a night shift.

Professor Frank looked very excited to have his breakfast with Viona in front of him, since Viona already had breakfast she decided to read her job report which she had asked Nurse Chloe previously. Doctor Louisa, who had just come to the cafeteria, could only smile wryly seeing her lover eating with Viona. While last night she had been serving Frank until she ran out of energy, this morning she had to see her lover sitting with another woman. Her heart ached at the sight in front of her, but she tried to cover up her jealousy because she didn't want to make Frank hate her, especially now that she couldn't stay away from Frank anymore.

After finishing his meal, Professor Frank invited Viona to leave the canteen because the canteen was getting full, Viona could only say yes to her boss's invitation to leave the canteen. Even though the working hour was still forty minutes away, Professor Frank invited Viona to go to the meeting room, he wanted to get rid of the curiosity in his chest and he wanted to hear the answer directly from Viona.

"Did you and that bastard fight, Vio?" asked Professor Frank to open the conversation when they arrived in the meeting room.

"The bastard ...

"You know well who I just called bastard, Vio," said Professor Frank, interrupting Viona's words.

"No, we didn't have a fight, Prof. As you can see, we are totally fine," Viona replied, trying to cover things up.

"Cihhhh…you are the worst liar Vio, I know that bastard must've been giving you trouble, am I right?" said Frank curtly.

"I'm not lying, Professor. My marriage is fine, there is no major issue happening at the moment," Viona replied, turning her gaze elsewhere, she felt intimidated when she met Professor Frank's eyes.

Hearing Viona's words made Professor Frank lose his temper, he then pulled Viona's left hand with a large bandage on it.

"This is not a wound that you could get because of your work, Vio. I know this wound must be caused by Fernando, right?" said Professor Frank, interrogating Viona.

"Let me go, Sir," Viona said as she pulled her hand from Professor Frank's grasp.

"This wound is just a normal scratch that anyone can get so you don't need to worry about it, my marriage with him is fine!!!" Viona replied curtly while trying to get up from her chair, leaving Professor Frank.

After speaking like that, Viona then walked towards the exit because she didn't like being interrogated like that by other people, when she almost got out of the door her steps suddenly stopped because she heard Professor Frank laugh out loud.

Hahahaha

"And what about the wounds around your neck, then?" asked Professor Frank with a loud voice that sounded like a thunderclap for Viona, she did not believe the young professor was able to know that there were wounds around the chest that she tried to cover up as best as she could.

"Is Fernando's sex game too rough, Vio?" Professor Frank asked, smiling slyly at Viona.

"You don't have to know anything that is happening inside my marriage, especially our relationship on the bed because it is our privacy!!!!" Viona replied curtly, she then walked out of the meeting room feeling irritated, even though she knew that the morning briefing would start in ten minutes.

When Viona walked out of the meeting room she had a chance to meet Doctor Cecilia and several other young doctors, Viona just smiled when she was greeted by the young doctors. Viona continued her steps towards the park outside the hospital, Viona felt suffocated after hearing Professor Frank's words and she needed fresh air as soon as possible.

Arriving at the park, Viona inhaled and exhaled deeply. She was panting as if she just finished exercising. Her face flushed from holding back her anger, not because of the cold air outside the hospital.

"Why are those two Willans so annoying!! They are crazy, arrogant, and stupid. The worst is that I'm caught between the two…. arrgghhhh sucks!!" Viona shouted in a loud voice while stepping on the ground firmly to vent her emotions.

"Give me strength, God!" Viona said to herself as she walked slowly towards the hospital after spending fifteen minutes in the park.

When Viona walked into her private room, she suddenly heard noises coming from the front door, it was clearly the sound of someone screaming.

Viona's heart beat quickly after hearing it, especially when the voices were getting closer to where she was standing.
