CHAPTER FOURTEEN

682 Words
CHARLOTTE'S POV I walked into the hospital with my bodyguard beside me. I was going to visit my father, but something caught my attention. I saw Amelia standing at the nurses' station with Cassandra. I immediately frowned. It was that stupid girl who had bumped into me the other day. I couldn't understand why she was still working here. I looked at her for a moment. Then I noticed someone walking toward us. It was Maxwell Sterling. My eyes widened. Maxwell Sterling was one of the richest and most handsome men in New York. I had seen him several times before, but I had never had the chance to speak to him properly. I quickly fixed my hair and adjusted my clothes. "Wait here," I told my bodyguard. I walked toward Maxwell. "Mr. Sterling." He stopped and looked at me. "Yes?" I smiled. "Hello. I'm Charlotte." He looked at me without any expression. "I know who you are." My smile grew wider. "My father is the assistant director here." "I know." I didn't know what else to say. I glanced at Amelia, who was still talking to Cassandra. Then I looked back at Maxwell. "Are you heading somewhere?" "Yes." He walked past me without saying anything else. My smile disappeared. How could he just walk away from me like that? I turned and watched him leave. Then my eyes went back to Amelia. Something was definitely going on. Why had Maxwell been watching her earlier? I narrowed my eyes. I decided I needed to find out. --- AMELIA ROSE'S POV After the emergency, I returned to my normal duties. I was still thinking about Maxwell. I didn't understand why his simple words kept replaying in my head. "Good work." I shook my head. "Amelia, stop thinking about him." I continued working. A few minutes later, Cassandra came over. "Amelia." I looked at her. "Yes?" "Did you see Charlotte?" I nodded. "Yes. She came into the hospital." Cassandra sighed. "Just be careful around her." "Why?" "You know how she is." I nodded. "I'll stay away from her." "Good." I smiled. "I don't want any trouble." Suddenly, I heard someone call my name. "Amelia!" I turned around. A nurse was standing there. "The matron wants to see you." My heart skipped. "The matron?" "Yes." I quickly followed her. As I walked toward the matron's office, I started wondering what she wanted. I hoped I hadn't done anything wrong. I knocked on the door. "Come in." I opened the door and stepped inside. "Good afternoon, ma'am." The matron looked up at me. "Good afternoon, Amelia. Sit down." I sat down. She looked at me seriously. "There is something I need to discuss with you." I swallowed. "Did I do something wrong?" She shook her head. "No. It's actually the opposite." I looked at her in confusion. "The hospital received a very good report about your work today." I smiled slightly. "Thank you, ma'am." She nodded. "You handled the emergency very well." I felt relieved. "I was only doing my job." "And you did it well." She paused for a moment. "Keep up the good work, Amelia." I smiled. "I will, ma'am." I stood up and left the office. As I walked back to the nurses' station, I felt happy. For the first time since I came to New York, I felt like everything was finally falling into place. But I didn't know that someone was about to make my life much more complicated. --- MAXWELL STERLING'S POV I was sitting in my office, going through some documents when Ethan walked in. "Sir, the meeting is ready." I nodded. "Let's go." I stood up and picked up my files. As we walked toward the conference room, I suddenly saw Amelia. She was smiling as she spoke to Cassandra. I stopped for a m oment. Ethan looked at me. "Sir?" I quickly looked away. "Nothing. Let's go." But as I walked away, I couldn't stop myself from looking back at her one more time. Why was I becoming so interested in this woman? I had no idea.
