Fated

'Rensselaer! , I think I have heard it somewhere '

' No way, they are not that famous '

' oh I see. '

'They are a well established HIFI group, but the media is mostly silent on them, so not much is known about their businesses. Hospitals are the only thing they run in public, but there is gossip that they are engaged in a lot of illegal activities...' Georgia continued, but my mind was elsewhere.

Illegal activities, what will it be? What have I gotten myself into

' Mm hm' I just hummed.

At sharp 4 pm, my shift ended and I received my brochure, the patient list. On my first day I was not exposed to any task a doctor was supposed to, I didn't see any patients, just some paper work and introduction. I was also introduced with how the rounds and seminars are conducted, how I should tend to case, the hospital rules, so-and-so.

They seem to have their own rules.

One thing I felt ridiculous was the rule of strict shift policy. Usually in other hospitals, one will naturally have to work beyond their shift. But despite the high patient input, the 8-hour work felt a bit weird.

' Alexia, you should reach sharp 8 am, okay.'

Georgia's words drained me. I replied 'Yeah' faintly.

' I just want to remind you, the management is really strict on time., the rest they will tolerate.' She tried to ease my nervousness.

' I got it' I said and walked away.

My mind lingered while I walked through the narrow alley on my way to the hostel. The side walls were made of red bricks and had a soothing calmness. My pace slowed.

' Mm nnn mmh..' I hummed but was interrupted by an unknown presence in my way.

A man of nearly 6 feet, dressed in black but with a silver work on his shoulder walked in. His immense presence made me suffocated.

I locked my eyes with him for a moment but soon broke off.

His momentary glare pierced my inside.

He passed by. Soon I felt a dragging sensation and I nearly fell back.

' Bloody hell!, What are you doing' He shouted, his tone rock hard.

' I am sorry it's my keychain' I answered pointing to my keychain. It was a metallic rose keychain.

' What the hell is wrong with people these days? ' He muttered but the words crystal clear to me. Only one word could describe him " Rude".

' It's just a keychain and I apologized. Why are you so angry when I am the one who nearly fell?. ' I said breathless.

' Being nuisance to others may not be a thing for you, but I won't tolerate it. I am having a bad day already don't waste my time....

' Speaking of wasting you are the one who is wasting my time.' I spoke in a rush and hurried on my way. I nearly ran.

Although anger was rushing through my veins and my adrenaline was at peak, I shouldn't provoke a random stranger. I ran as soon as I came to my senses. He already looked scary enough with his height. We had a whopping 30 cm gap at the minimum. He was certainly a lamppost.
