Chapter 131 Those in the know understood that Andrew could easily fill the deputy chief position at Jayrodale General Hospital .

With his exceptional medical skills , he could even handle being th chief doctor without breaking a sweat .

Standing in his newly renovated office , Andrew sighed and said , Ms.

Rhodes , Dr.

Aicker , I honestly have no interest in the deputy chief position .

Lauren beamed with joy as she replied , Dr.

Lloyd , we know you dont care about these titles .

However , Jayrodale General Hospital is our privately owned hospital , and leadership positions are based on ability , not seniority .

The position of deputy chief suits you perfectly .

Francesca chimed in with a smile , If you want , Ill even hand over my position to you .

I could step down as chief doctor and assist you instead .

Please , Im already overwhelmed with the deputy chief role , let alone being the chief , Andrew replied with a wry smile .

Lauren flashed a mischievous grin and teased , Fran , why are you being so nice to Dr.

Lloyd ? Do you have ulterior motives ? What nonsense are you talking about? Francesca protested .

I just think his medical skills.

surpass mine , so hed make a better chief .

Lauren snickered , Is that really all ? Francesca rolled her eyes .

What else could it be ? Well , I thought since Dr.

Lloyd cured your condition , you might have developed feelings for him and wanted him to be your first , Lauren stated playfully , then added , But let me remind you , Fran we may be best friends since childhood , but Dr.

Lloyd is mine , and I wont let anyone else have him .

Francesca was embarrassed .

She stomped her foot in frustration , stammering , L Lauren , not everyone thinks like you ! Youre such a shameless flirt ! Laurens dimples showed as she smiled .

It depends on who were talking about .

When it comes to Dr.

Lloyd , Im happy to be shameless .

You should stop talking .

Someones coming , Andrew interrupted , breaking out in a cold sweat .

Just then , the office door burst open .

Bernard stormed in , fuming with anger .

Dr.

Aicker , I demand an explanation ! About what ? Francesca asked calmly .

Bernard pointed at Andrew in rage .

Why is he being promoted to deputy chief when hes just an attending physician ? And why wasnt I consulted about this decision ? Chapter 131 Oh ? Dr.

Hackett , whats your opinion on the matter ? Francesca inquired .

My opinion is that hell never be qualified to be deputy chief never ! Bernard declared firmly .

Francesca responded coldly , Im sorry , Dr.

Hackett , but your opinion on Dr.

Lloyds qualifications doesnt matter .noveldrama

This decision was made jointly by our two major shareholders- the Rhodes family and the Aicker family .

So , the hospital completely disregards the feelings of a veteran staff member like myself ? Bernard gritted his teeth .

Lauren raised an eyebrow and retorted , Dr.

Hackett , Jayrodale General Hospital exists to treat patients and generate returns for our investors , not to cater to your sense of entitlement .

You call yourself a veteran ? To the board of directors , youre nothing special .

Bernard snapped , Ms.

Rhodes , while the Rhodes family may be major shareholders , dont assume I dont havemy own supporters on the board .

Well see how this plays out .
