First Conference

I couldn't sleep. As soon as I fell asleep I would dream of all possible bad things about the incident. In one of my dreams he nearly killed me and I woke up with a jerk.

Oh, god's I am living alone, please don't scare me further.

The next day, I thought a lot about avoiding the alley and going to the hospital through another route, which is a little more time-consuming. I am mostly a night owl other than on my exam days. Hence, I didn't have much time and decided to face my fear. I peeped into the alley before walking in.

There's no way he will be waiting for me in the morning but still I should be safe right?

I walked in a rush and reached the hospital on time. That was my first time as an attending physician. I met a lot of patients and was busy throughout. By the end of the shift I was called for a meeting.

I reached the hall for the meeting and my jaw dropped. It was one of the best conference halls I have seen. It could accommodate at least 300 doctors, and it was already half filled. My hands shivered a bit, guess my social anxiety kicked in. I am usually awkward with a lot of people at the beginning, but later I would be the center of attraction. It was like that in college. But here there are only senior doctors.

A lot of eyes followed me to my seat. Georgia sat next to me. There was also a short haired girl.

' I am Eva, nice meeting you'

' Hi, I am Alexia' I said.

' It's your first meeting right.?'

' Yep.'

' Then I will do the introductions, do you see the panel over there?' She pointed to the front of the hall and soon dropped her hand before anybody could see.

' Mm '

' The one in black suit and navy blue tie, he is our board director, Dr Murphy and do you see the one wearing a black spectacle, he is our chairman, Dr Raeburn Rensselaer'

' Really, He doesn't even look old enough to be the chairman.' My words spill before my brain can process.

They looked at me surprised. Oops I am trapped.

' I mean he looks pretty young.' I corrected.

' He is!' Eva said

' About 30 I guess' Georgia added.

Being in an influential family has its own benefits. She seemed to read my eyes.

' But don't underestimate him, he is really brilliant.' Her eyes glittered. ' He is one of the top neurosurgeons in the country. You know Dr Arthur, he was his mentor.'

' Dr Arthur! Really'

' Raeburn was one of his favorite students.'

She continued introducing others in the dice.

When I left the meeting my mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Raeburn. How brilliant is he, to be Arthur's pupil. Lots and lots of my seniors wanted to study under him, but he seldom accepts mentees.

I reached home and realised I forgot to look out for the lamppost I met last day. He was certainly not a stalker type I guess.
