Tempted

At nine in the morning, in the cardiology department.

Naomi pressed her thumb on the Biometric Fingerprint Attendance Machine as she heard a few doctors singing praises of Aaron. She knew he had a critical operation to undertake and he was a VIP transferred from another city.

She heard that Aaron was an assistant of the chief doctor in the surgery but the chief was exhausted half away and Aaron handled efficiently without taking a scrub break due to no senior surgeons around.

"What time did the surgery finish?" Naomi asked nodding or smiling at the doctor who greeted her with the same. She was good at hiding the frustration her grandfather was causing her daily.

A doctor who was in front of the computer checked it and responded, "It ended at 00:42."

Another doctor added, "I heard from a night shift nurse that she never saw Doctor Rivas so exhausted."
