Pursuing Her

Chapter 884

Chapter 884 A Successor

“Actually, Sandra, you’re an incredibly talented person. All you need is a little more confidence.” Sophie felt that Sandra seriously lacked faith in herself.

Simon nodded in agreement.

“You’re already amazing, Sandra. Look at me. I used to be rotten to the core in the past! But am I not quite confident now?”

She certainly doesn’t have to be so diffident when even I, who lazed around and did nothing, could have such confidence!

Then, he offered, “How about this? After you graduate, you can work at my father’s hospital.”

She merely wants to be a doctor, yes? Considering her capabilities now, she has her choice of hospitals.

“Thank you, guys. If it weren’t for the two of you, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”

Admittedly, Sophie and Simon have both helped me tremendously.

“You’re truly incredible, and you’ve also helped us a lot, Sandra. So, continue forging ahead!” Simon encouraged, beaming from ear to ear.

I can’t imagine what would’ve become of me if I hadn’t met her and Sophie during my freshman year.

Sophie had no classes in the afternoon, so she wanted to go to the medical association. Coincidentally. Sandra and Simon were also free, so they all went together.

It was not until they had arrived at the medical association that they discovered Arius and Georgina had returned.

It was uncertain what happened in Georgina’s hometown, but the duo did not appear to be dating.

Arius came over to seek Sophie out.

“You pursued her to her hometown, yet you came back without making any progress?” Disappointment flooded Sophie.

Good Lord! He’s downright inefficient! He isn’t like this when he performs operations usually. Why this abrupt change when it comes to wooing a woman?

“If not? Did you think something would’ve happened?” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Georgina was having loads of fun going on blind dates! She never needed me there to lend her a hand!

In response, Sophie shook her head.

Honestly, Arius, I think you might end up spending the rest of your life alone.” Would any woman like him if such is his attitude?

“I think so, too!” he agreed. As soon as he learned that Georgina would be going on blind dates, he hurriedly went after her. Alas, he seemed to have made things worse.

Fortunately, she still came back with him in the end.

But she didn’t seem keen on communicating with him. In fact, she didn’t even say a word to him during the drive back.

“Why are women so complicated, Sophie?” lamented Arius.

“Are they? It’s only because you’re not putting in enough effort.”

He either likes her or he doesn’t. There’s nothing complicated about it.

Having said that, Sophie no longer bothered with the dense man.

When she had finished the work at hand, she sought Georgina out.

The latter seemed calm and unruffled, giving no indication that something unpleasant had transpired.

“I hope Arius‘ pursuit of you to your hometown didn’t make any trouble for you?”

Georgina gave a slight shake of her head.

“Sophie. I really like him a lot, but not to the point that I’m willing to cast my dignity aside. Anyway, things are pretty good now. At the very least, my parents won’t force me to go on blind dates anymore. On top of that, I can continue working here.”

Everything is good. Verily, all is well. The question of whether he loves me isn’t so important anymore.

“He’s just inexperienced, Georgina. He has never dated to this day. Give him a bit more time.” Sophie understood the kind of person Arius was and knew he had never wanted to hurt anyone.

Regretfully, his way of handling things was not good enough sometimes, leading to the situation at present.

“Mm. Anyway, I’ll be focusing on work henceforth. As for the rest, I’ll let nature take its course.”

Not everyone can find the person they love who shares the same feelings. Therefore, it doesn’t matter that I’m not among the successful ones.

Seeing her resignation, Sophie said nothing further on that subject.

“The medical association is currently short of a person in charge. I’m thinking about recommending you. What do you think?” she asked.

“Me? My capabilities aren’t that outstanding in the medical association, so I probably can’t manage.”

With the medical association being such a massive organization, one would require stellar capabilities to be the person in charge.

“You won’t be asked to take over immediately. You’ll first be learning from Dr. Smith for a period. If you can manage at that time, you can take over.”

In truth, Georgina was an exceedingly competent person.

Right then, all she needed was an opportunity.

“Really?”

Never had Georgina realized that she had such capabilities. Ever since she was young, she had always been a member of the study committee but never a class monitor.

“You can do it! Give it a try first. If you have any questions, you can ask me or go directly to Dr. Smith”

“Okay, I’ll give it a try, then. Don’t blame me if I end up flopping in the end.”

Following that, Sophie sought Barney out and told him the good news.

“You truly don’t need to worry anymore, Dr. Smith! I’ve already found a successor for you.” She genuinely found Georgina to be the perfect candidate.

“You aren’t being kind to find me a successor at all. Instead, it’s clear that you’re afraid I’d ask that of you.” That said, Georgina is quite good. If I train her well, she’ll probably do.

“In any case, don’t bother about my motive. Most importantly, the final result is good, right?” Isn’t that sufficient?

“Well, you’re right. Georgina’s talents in the medical field aren’t as outstanding as yours, but she’s still up to par in management.” Undeniably, she did a great job managing this place while we were away.

“I’ve already told her that she’d be shadowing you for a time. You only need to train her for a bit. Of course, if she ends up falling short, we’ll look for someone else.”

But the possibility of that happening is slim to none.

“Okay. I trust your judgment. Since you think she’s capable of it, she must be.” Sophie has shrewd discernment, so anyone she approves of will basically turn out fine.

“Yeah. Thank you for your trust in me, Dr. Smith.” The feeling of someone believing in her thrilled Sophie.

On the contrary, Arius was downright chagrined when he learned that Sophie had asked Georgina to be the person in charge of the medical association.

“How could you do this, Sophie? Georgina trusts you implicitly, yet you sabotaged her?”

“How did I sabotage her? Isn’t she disappointed in love and would like to shift her focus to work?”

Moreover, the culprit is standing right in front of me.

In a trice, Arius fell silent, left without a retort.

“No, Sophie, she can’t be the person in charge.”

“I don’t think this is something you can decide. Who are you to her, and what right do you have to make a decision on her behalf?”

Once more, Arius was struck dumb.

He immediately went to look for Georgina.

“Georgina, you can’t be the person in charge, okay?”

“Why can’t I? Do you think I lack the capability for it?”
