A Thousand Flowers
Chapters 26. First Day 2
In the Emergency Installation room, several doctors and nurses who were present were seen lying around.
“Listen-heard today we will get new manpower, intern doctor from Indonesia,” whispered one of the male doctors.
“Really? Beautiful, no?” other male doctors and nurses.
“Basic guys don't sell,” quipped female doctors and nurses.
Door opens. Everyone in the room turned to the door. Izzah entered the IGD room accompanied by a woman in her forties, the head of personnel at the hospital.
"Ehem!”
The head of the personnel is calling for attention. All quiet. Their eyes were on Izzah.
“Apparently beautiful.” One of the male nurses whispered to the colleague next to him.
Chief of personnel swerving. The nurse also nodded.
“Good morning everyone! Introduce, this is our new partner .. intern doctor from Indonesia,” said the Head of personnel began the introductory session.
“Please introduce yourself, Miss!” he gave an opportunity to Izzah.
Izzah bowed respectfully and smiled kindly, then introduced himself briefly.
“Halo. It's nice to meet you all. I'm Izzatun Nisa. Just call me Izzah. Please help and cooperation .…”
Guys scrambling to greet Izzah. Izzah did not welcome their hand and only cupped his hands in front of his chest. For a moment the boys looked confused and a little offended.
However, when Izzah warmly received the girls' hand, they smiled. They do not understand the religious teachings of Izzah. So, they thought it was part of Indonesian culture. They also appreciate the attitude of Izzah and do not dispute it.
After the chief personnel left the room, they surrounded Izzah, trying to familiarize themselves. Izzah also took advantage of the opportunity to get various information about his workplace in order to adapt.

In a very exclusive workspace, a director was busy checking and signing documents on the table. A man his age was standing in front of him.
“Internship doctors scheduled to start work today have they arrived?” asked the director who was none other than Shin Seo Hyun.
“Already, Sir,” replied the man standing in front of him. It was Park Joon Soo. The young man who picked up Shin Seo Hyun at the airport and worked as his secretary.
“Ask him to ride immediately!” shin Seo Hyun's orders
BRACKET!
Not yet Park Joon Soo answered Shin Seo Hyun's words, suddenly heard the sound of the door opening violently.
A beautiful and sexy woman rushed in with a flushed face full of anger. His hand held the newspaper firmly.
Seeing the unpleasant atmosphere, Park Joon Soo immediately bowed and said goodbye, then quickly left the room. Shin Seo Hyun continued to finish her work.
“So, because of this woman you rejected me?” the woman asked fieryly as soon as she reached the director's desk.
He slammed the newspaper he was holding on the table, right in front of Shin Seo Hyun. Almost the tip of the paper hit Shin Seo Hyun's face.
Shin Seo Hyun stopped her activities. He glanced at the woman at a glance, then his hand turned to grab the newspaper on the table.
On the front page is a photo of him holding tightly to a woman. The woman looked back at the camera, as if she was hiding her face in the chest of Shin Seo Hyun's field.
Shin Seo Hyun smiled slightly.
“Good also angle,” murmured in heart. Instead of being upset, he felt flowery looking at the photo in the newspaper.
Shin Seo Hyun placed the newspaper back on the table.
“My rejection has nothing to do with the girl in the photo,” Shin Seo Hyun said firmly.
“Really?” The woman is still angry. His tone was half mocking.
“Then please explain why the photo appeared exactly the day after you rejected me,”.
Shin Seo Hyun was still calm.
“Nothing to explain. And do not try to scapegoat others for what happens between us.” Shin Seo Hyun looked at the woman sharply.
“Who scapegoats? It's fact. If not, tell me what my fault is until you reject me.” The woman still insisted. He could not accept Shin Seo Hyun's rejection.
Shin Seo Hyun just kept quiet.
“What is less than me? “ asked the woman while walking closer to Shin Seo Hyun. His tone began to soften.
“I am Kim Se Na. I am rich, beautiful and also famous.” He began to act seductively as if he had lost his mind.
Shin Seo Hyun pushed Kim Se Na. Kim Se Na was almost lost.
“Your shortcomings? Alright. If that's what you want, I'll tell you,” said Shin Seo Hyun coldly.
Kim Se Na returned excited, feeling blown by the fresh breeze.
Shin Seo Hyun stepped closer to Kim Se Na until they stood facing each other.
“Your shortcomings are ...” Shin Seo Hyun stopped her speech and looked at Ki Se Na expressionlessly.
Kim Se Na was impatient. He coded with his hand for Shin Seo Hyun to continue.
“I ... never loved you,” continued Shin Seo Hyun loudly.
Kim Se Na stood up. It was as if he heard lightning in broad daylight. His pride is hurt.
“Cannot be! How could you not love me?” kim Se Na's tears broke.
“You lied, right?” The tie of Shin Seo Hyun was strong.
Shin Seo Hyun removed Kim Se Na's hand from her tie.
“I mean it. You already know what you want to know. Now out! I was busy,” kicked Shin Seo Hyun while walking back to his seat.
Kim Se Na's emotions exploded again.
“Cuih! Love you say? For people like us, isn't love just a business?”
Shin Seo Hyun's emotions began to be provoked. However, he tried hard to remain calm.
“If you think love is just a business. There are many young and rich entrepreneurs out there. Please go after them. Like you said, you are rich, beautiful, and famous. It's certainly not that hard for you to conquer any of them. Isn't that right, Kim Se Na?” Shin Seo Hyun's sarcasm was really striking.
Kim Se Na immediately grabbed her bag that she had just thrown over the sofa as she was emotional. Without waiting to be kicked out a second time, Kim Se Na walked out of the room while stomping her feet in annoyance.
“I won't be that easy to give up,” threatened him before disappearing behind the door.
Shin Seo Hyun let out a long sigh, leaned back on her body and covered her face with the newspaper left on her desk.

Park Joon Soo called IGD.
“Ya, Sir?” A voice sounded from across the phone
“Director awaits the presence of a new intern doctor in his study now”
“Good, Mr.”
Phone's closed.
The officer who received the call immediately called Izzah.
“Doctor Izzah”
Izzah. “Ya?”
“Awaited Director in his room.” The officer returned to his position
Izzah put down the patient data he held.
Kang So Ra, a nurse Izzah just met, grabbed her arm and whispered as Izzah was about to leave.
“Be careful! Don't fall in love!” his advice.
“Why?” Izzah doesn't understand
“The director is very handsome. But ... he was very cold towards women. Not romantic,” obviously.
Izzah smiled and nodded, then stepped out.
When he was about to enter the elevator, he hung out with Kim Se Na. He scrunched his forehead looking at the woman as if burning with emotion.
Izzah came out of the elevator to the director's room.
Park Joon Soo walks in a hurry to enter the elevator. He saw Izzah at a glance. Feeling as if he had seen the girl, Park Joon Soo held back the elevator door to make sure. However, the girl had already disappeared from his sight. He went back into the elevator and pressed the number button according to the floor he would have aimed.
Geck! Geck! Geck.
Izzah knocked on the director's room door.
“Yes. Login!”
There was a voice from inside asking Izzah to go straight in. Izzah pushed the door slowly, then stepped in without a sound.
He stood in front of the director's desk. The director was leaning back and covering his face with the newspaper.
“It looks like the Director is very tired,” Izzah said inwardly. He remained unmoved, not wanting to disturb the director's rest.
