Chapter 127 - Call Her
" Dad , are you out of your mind ?! I have a pile of surgeries to take care of and you are telling me to take leave and go to Denmark to search for a girl ?! Those people have their life at stake . I can't take leave leisurely like that . " said Florence with a serious tone .
" Okay , I understand that surgeries are important . This week you have the surgeries but next week I want you to get your butt on the plane and head to Denmark . When you'll be there go and talk with your uncle Erden . Aria is treating her brother in uncle Erden's medical clinic . " said doctor Flaubert with a serious tone .
" Dad….. " said Florence but doctor Flaubert interrupted him immediately .
" I think I made myself clear young man . I give you one week to finish your business here . If you don't follow my words , believe it or not I will disown you ! " said doctor Flaubert with a firm .
" You can't be serious , right ?! I am a prodigy of the medical field . Awarded with lots of prizes and you want to disown me ?! " said Florence with a shocked tone .
" Screw you and your so called prizes ! Can those prizes you've won talk , smile or say grandpa ?! What's the use of having those if they are only as a decoration ?! I may have an appearance that makes me look young but I am not !....I am dead serious about my decision . Either do as I say or get the hell out of the family register . Unfilial son who doesn't give his old father some cute grandchildren . " said doctor Flaubert in an angry and sad tone .
" Father please don't be like this !...okay , I will go next week . Happy ?! " said Florence with a forced smile .
" You better keep your words ! " said doctor Flaubert then decided to get up and go to sleep .
When his father got up , Florence also got up and decided to go to rest . Doctor Flaubert saw him and glared at him .
" Dad ?! " asked Florence who didn't understand why he was so mad .
" Don't you dare go to your room or sleep without having watched this romantic drama till the end ! " said doctor Flaubert .
" Dad , this isn't a movie , is a drama . Those last forever ! This drama won't finish even if I stay up till morning . I am tired and wanna sleep . Plus , why should I watch this ?! " said Florence who was tired and wanted to go to sleep .
" To learn seductive skills ! When you go to Denmark and meet Aria , use these tactics and try to woo her in the right way . I believe that even a beginner like you can learn thing like this easily if he watches this drama . " said doctor Flaubert with a smirk .
" Tactless ?! Do you think you're better than me ?! " asked Florence a bit angry when he heard his father .
" Of course I am ! " said doctor Flaubert with a proud tone .
" Yeah , you are . That's why you and mom only had me . Because you're highly skilled . " said Florence with a non caring tone .
" How dare you look down on me ?! If I had wanted to , I would have had a football team with kids now . I just love your mother too much and I couldn't bear to see her suffer again like the time when you were born . She was in a lot of pain when entering the delivery room to give birth to you . She's my delicate flower , I would not let her go through that again . " said doctor Flaubert with a serious tone .
' Geez ! This old man is really…..Now I know why I am an only child despite those two acting lovey-dovey all day long . ' thought Florence and didn't argue with his father anymore .
" Okay dad ! I will be here watching this drama , good night ! " said Florence .
" You better watch it till morning . I will notice it immediately if you sneak to your room by looking at the cameras . Goodnight , my dear son ! " said doctor Flaubert with a serious tone and headed towards the stairs then went to his bedroom .
After seeing his father head towards the bedroom , Florence went to the kitchen to get a snack and some drinks then put them on the table in front of the couch .
While looking at the romantic drama , he saw that the main actor grabbed the girl's wrist then pulled her close and kissed her .
' My father is obsessed with the desire to have grandchildren . This has become a very annoying matter , HUH !!!!!.....Aria ! She's a cute , responsible and knowledgeable girl . I admit that she caught my attention the moment she saved that old woman at the bar . I….I….for a minute I felt very happy when I learned that she was the girl my father had arranged for me . Later she called me a stalker…..that was very funny . After talking for a bit I thought that it wouldn't be too bad to get to know each other better but she told me clearly that she doesn't intend to begin a relationship any time soon . She also said that she had to take care of her brother's matters first . A very lovely girl ! I remained shocked when she didn't recognize me . My fame is world wide ! Did she have any idea who she rejected when she said no to me ?! No , she probably didn't know me . My father must have only told her that I am a great surgeon....she refused me before something could even be started and if I were to go in Denmark to search for her it would be way too awkward . ' thought Florence and drank a bit , then looked at the drama again .
' Do all girls like guys like him ?! ' thought Florence while looking at the male lead who was holding his phone and was walking back and forth with a nervous look . He wanted to call the girl but was undecided and kept thinking if it was alright to do so , in the end her decided to call her .
' This guy seems to be in the same spot as me . In the end he gathered his courage and called the girl he's interested in . He doesn't feel nervous around the other girls who climb up to him , he sleeps with them just to relieve his boredom and have some fun . He's really confident when interacting with the other girls but when it comes to the female lead , his emotions take control of him and make him nervous . ' thought Florence then looked at his phone .
" I thought I was interested in her because it was an unusual girl . Different from others , like something new that I hadn't seen before but now...…I am behaving just like that guy in the drama ! When I look at the phone , I keep thinking about calling her or not . I am undecided , rather , I am nervous about whether she'll answer or not . My heart skips a beat when I remember her face . I can't deny that I like her but I am unsure whether I love her or not . She seems like the girl to take relationships very seriously . " said Florence and took his phone then thought about calling her .
He opened the contacts and decided to call her . She didn't respond and he decided to call again but no one responded . He felt a bit discouraged when he saw that she wasn't responding . After thinking for a few seconds he realized that she was still in Denmark and it was midnight time in there . He felt relieved when thinking that she would be asleep since is very late . Florence decided to call her tomorrow and continued to look at the drama .
The night soon passed and the morning came in Denmark . Aria got up and started to get ready . She tried to get ready but she couldn't hide the tired and pale , zombie like face that was caused by Helios's bitter joke . Mana accompanied Aria to bring Aden to the doctor then they headed to the company using Mana's car .When they arrived , Mana parked the car and both of them entered in the company .
" I so don't wanna see that blonde donkey today . " said Aria with a tired tone .
" You need to go unless you wanna work overtime . Believe me , he will really make you work over time if you don't go now . " said Mana with a serious tone .
" Have you ever worked overtime for that weirdo ?! " asked Aria .
" Yeah , I have and it was the most harsh experience in the business world for me . " said Mana with a blank stare while remembering the time she had to work overtime when she was a a simple worker there who studied and worked for the design department .
" Got it , I won't be able to escape . " said Aria and headed with Mana to the elevator .
Before arriving there , they saw Alan who was rushing towards them .
" Is that Alan ?! " said both of the girls at the same time .
" You know him ?! " asked Aria .
" Yeah , he's a pretty close friend of Bekora and me . " said Mana and Alan arrived immediately .
" Good morning Mana ! Long time no see ! How have you been ? " asked Alan who was catching his breath .
" Fine , thanks Alan and you ?! " said Mana .
" Good , apart from the overworking that Helios keeps on assigning me . Anyway , Aria , Helios is not here today . " said Alan .
" Not here ?! " said Aria with a happy tone .
" Yeah , so he asked me to bring you to his house immediately as soon as you arrived . Let go to the car . " said Alan and grabbed Aria from her hand then hurried to the car leaving Mana dumbfounded .
