18 How she met Oliver for first time.

"I am totally fine sir.", Kyra said out of politeness. Truth to be told, her whole body is feeling hot because of the embarrassment.

"Ok. I just saw your red face and thought so," Oliver indifferently said, but deep inside he is enjoying this.

Kyra felt her face reddening more. She is now crimson red…

"Dr. Miller, you said you wanted to talk to me about something," Kyra asked, keeping her professional facade. Only she knows how much she wants to dig up a hole and hide in it.

"Yes. As we will be working together on our surgeries I thought I could get you familiarized with our patient conditions and their ongoing treatment procedures.", Oliver told her, sitting down on his chair.

After looking at her crimson red face, he decided to take pity on her and move on from this blushing situation just like how he did with the 'eying' situation.

Kyra nodded her head and opened her Ipad to scribble down her notes. Although she can perfectly remember everything Oliver will say now, she can't gamble with the patient's lives. There is nothing she can lose by being more cautious right?

Oliver smiled again. He was smiling often from these two days and well, it's not the reason he smiled.

He is impressed that Kyra takes her job seriously. Some people try to show off to impress him by pretending like they could remember everything he says. They might be having a good memory but this is a matter of life, so he expects everyone to take it more seriously.

Their discussion extended and by the time they finished, it was already 4:00 pm.

Oliver was actually expecting to finish it by 3:00pm but Kyra's enthusiasm and some useful insights extended it to an hour more. By the end of the discussion, Oliver was really impressed.

He enjoyed discussing his work with her. He felt like he was back in his medical school where he and his friends used to talk enthusiastically like this.

"You will do a great job, Dr. Lopez. All the best for your time here and I hope it will be fruitful to both you and the hospital," Oliver wished her as he served her the coffee.

Having a simple chat (more like a personal interview) over a tea/coffee is something he does with all the new recruits. He does it to analyze the recruit and estimate how capable he/she will be.

His words brought an eye blinding smile to her face.

What could probably make her happier than getting praised by her idol. Oliver is not only her idol but the first crush as well.

She saw him for the first time eight years back when he saved a couple who were gravely injured in an accident. That incident was planted in her brain real hard and she was so inspired that she wanted to become a doctor so badly.

And, it was not some teenage crush for her.

That attraction, admiration were pretty intense.

He remained her crush till she met her savior who saved her and took care of her for six months. Her savior was her second crush and is still her crush.

After she shifted to Europe and started her medicine, she started reading all Oliver's journals, papers and soon she became his die hard fan. He is the inspiration for her to become a doctor and his works motivated her to become a neurosurgeon.

Meanwhile, Oliver was in a daze. When he looked at her beautiful, bright smile, he couldn't help but get tranced by it.

A short snippet of his memory suddenly flashed in his mind and before he could remember what it was, it was gone.

"Sir, is something wrong?" Kyra asked when she looked at his frown.

When Oliver heard her, he realized that he was frowning. He quickly controlled his emotions and gave a short smile.

"Nothing, Dr. Ria. You can go now and finish the work I gave you. We will be performing that surgery the day after tomorrow." he told her.

Kyra nodded her head and exited the room. For a second she thought he was regretting what he just told her.

"It seems like he had no hard feelings on how I was staring at him. Good thing he is professional and didn't judge me by my embarrassing moments with him," she spoke to herself as she made her way to her office room.

She is in a desk job for till tommorow and after she makes herself familiar with everything she will be allowed to assist in the surgeries.

-----------

Kyra's second day finished at 7:00 pm and by the time she left the hospital, her brother's assistant Sawyer was waiting for her.

"How is your day, miss?" he asked her as he opened the door for her before he went and sat down in the passenger car.

"It went far better than I expected," Kyra answered.

"I presume everything went smooth with your idol, miss," Sawyer spoke with a smile.

"It went fine. I will be working with him from the day after tomorrow, Sawyer. I am very happy," Kyra said, with a sparkling smile.

For a second, Sawyer was in shock. He never saw her smile like this except for when she was speaking about her secret savior.

'I have to warn Mr. Richards that his girl is being stolen away,' Sawyer thought, mentally putting it first in his to do list.

Andrew Richards is Kyra's second brother's best friend. He has been in love with Kyra for almost five years now.

They even went out on a date once but some crazy stranger spoiled it for him.
