Summary
“Underling,” Narumi says. “Have you ever considered a consensual workplace relationship with one of the guys from internal medicine?”
Shinomiya nearly drops the report she’d been scrutinising. Her head whips up to look at him, cheeks pink and eyes comically wide. “A what? What on earth are you—” She stops. Blinks a few times, as if properly processing Narumi’s words. After a few seconds, an unimpressed look takes over her features. “Oh. Is this about you and Doctor Hoshina?”
(There are some things being the most talented surgeon in the country just won’t help you with. Like knowing how to put the annoying infectious diseases specialist—the one you’ve had a years-long rivalry with—in his place. Or, further down the line, knowing how to make him fall for you. Or, even further down the line, knowing how to stop him from leaving.)
