Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

Kyra looked at Jennifer and her forehead scrunched as she fell into s deep thought. 

Why does she look familiar? 

A flash of memory blinked in the back of her head but it dimmed with the same fastness. 

"Hi." Jennifer's sweet voice brought Kyra from her thoughts and it was when Kyra realised that Jennifer's desk is just next to hers. 

"Hi." Kyra greeted with a tinge of awkwardness. She is yet to master the skill of socialising. So, she is not good at communicating with strangers. 

Unlike Kyra, Jennifer is an extrovert who loves meeting new people. 

"I am Jennifer Anderson. Call me Jennifer or Jenny." Jennifer said, extending her hand for a handshake. 

The way Jennifer introduced herself made Kyra's subconscious mind trigger again but just like before it vanished as soon as it came. 

"I am Ria Lopez. You can call me Ria." Kyra said, introducing herself with her alias. 

Jennifer smiled and started to introduce herself while Kyra organized her table. It's been a week since she was at work, so she is left with many things to do. 

However, Oliver took care of most of it by dividing her work to other fellows. They couldn't even deny it because Oliver was in a bad mood then. 

Ten minutes after Jennifer entered the room, she was called to the conference room just like how Kyra was called on her first day. 

It is to introduce herself and choose the doctor under whom she will be working. 

Meanwhile, Teressa managed to get Jennifer's profile. Thanks to her father who is a director and head of the department of gynecology. 

"She graduated from Stanford. Gold medalist. And, she is also a junior of Dr. Oliver Miller who has also done her residency in the same hospital as he did. So, they must know each other" Teressa said, gritting her teeth. 

"If it is like that, he would take her under his wing." Lillian said, giving a look to Kyra who is the only fellow under Oliver. 

"What if she seduces our Dr. Miller?" another fan of Oliver pouted as she looked at Jennifer's empty desk. 

"How could it be? It looks like Dr. Miller is in love with another woman." Ron said. 

When Kyra heard it, she started choking on her water. 

What girlfriend?? 

She didn't know if it is something to get jealous or feel happy about. If that rumored girlfriend is her, she would be relieved and if it is someone, she would get jealous. 

"Woah… Ria! What happened??" Ron exclaimed as he immediately patted her back. 

"Girlfriend?" Kyra asked, patting her chest to ease her lungs. 

"In this span of a week, so many things have happened. We all were walking on eggshells thanks to Dr. Miller's mood swings" Ron complained. 

"First thing, during the charity event which you missed, Dr. Miller has brought a beautiful woman as his date and they were acting very close. From the intel we got, it is the first time he ever brought a woman with him to events like these"

"By her looks, he partner looked like a perfect match to Dr. Miller, in beauty, intellect and background wise." Ron told her, making Teressa, Lillian and others from Oliver's fan base glare at him. 

"And, on that Monday, he was injured in surgery. He got into an accident while returning it seems. However, more than him he was worrying about the woman who travelled with him in his car."

"He looked restless and worried all day and it was also the first time I saw him distracted during the surgery. And it is rumored that his partner from the charity event is the same woman who was in an accident with him." 

"Someone heard Dr. Miller and our president talk about that woman and it seems like she is close to our president as well." 

"I almost thought that our good days have started as Dr. Miller found a woman for himself. What I mean is, it is said that men get soft hearted after falling in love" Ron corrected himself when he saw the sharp glares of the girls. 

"But the very next day, Dr. Miller started with a very bad and short tempered mood. For the next two days, he was like that, surrounded by dark clouds, sending shivers down our spines." 

"We were literally shivering whenever we crossed paths with him. We would have got blood pressure for sure if it continued for another one more day."

"But again, some miracle happened that night and our Dr. Miller was in a great mood from the next day. It is rumored that he went to meet that woman, the one from the charity event and car accident.' Ron finished his reporting. 

"Hey, we can't forget about last Friday! Some gorgeous lady with a limited edition car has picked him up at our hospital entrance." Claire reminded him. 

"Yeah! He was wearing jeans and a black T-shirt. He looked hot and sexy!!" a resident said with dreamy eyes. 

"You shouldn't also forget that his whole demeanour changed after he talked to the woman in the car. His gentle eyes, that heart melting smile and that soft expressions he portrayed." Ron offered with a smirk. 

Everyone glared at him but no one said a word. They have argued about this mysterious woman again and again that they got vexed with it. 

Meanwhile, Kyra was in deep thought. 

She never heard the story from third party and somehow it felt good to hear about how Oliver cared, worried about her in her absence. 

She didn't miss the part when Oliver was in bad mood because they couldn't communicate well with each other. 

That day, when she met him in the evening, she thought that he was in a bad mood because something happened in the hospital. 

Kyra never thought she would be the reason for his bad mood. It surprisingly made her happy because she has the same impact on him as he has on her. 

She was in a bad mood at that time and it was because Oliver didn't come to see her. So, Oliver felt the same as her! 

And, only after meeting her that evening, his mood has changed. She was able to erase his bad mood and exhaustion just like how he did to her. 

All these revelations made Kyra feel blessed and happy. 

Who would have thought that listening to their story from another point of view would give this much understanding?? 

"Ria!!" Ron called as he waved his hand in front of her eyes. 

"Yes?" Kyra said, coming back from her dream world. 

"What do you think? Is Dr. Miller finally in love?" What are your thoughts on this?" Ron asked. 

Kyra didn't know what to say. 

"Maybe. Or, it might be someone special to him." Kyra said. 

"Who could be more special than the woman he loves?" Claire asked. 

Before Kyra could say anything, Jennifer entered the room. 

"You will be working under whom?" Teressa asked, not able to hold her jealousy. 

"Who else? Dr. Oliver Miller." Jennifer said, sitting in her place. She couldn't help but smile brightly. 

"And, I heard there is another person who is working under Dr. Miller. Who is it?" Jennifer asked, clueless. 

"It will be me." Kyra said as she flipped open the file to look into it. 

Jennifer took her time to stare at Kyra.

Glasses. Hair bun. Simple and ordinary clothes. 

She looked like a typical nerd who didn't care much about anything except her work. 

As someone who knows Oliver, Jennifer never expected him to take someone under his wing. 

He hates it as he has to teach them, work with them. He always thought it would interrupt his work. 

So, this woman here, Ria Lopez must be a gifted surgeon to attract his attention. 

'I should check her profile once' Jennifer thought. 

She just heard that there will be one opening for a professor's post in the neurosurgery department and all the fellows will get a chance to be promoted. 

But only one will be elected after thorough monitoring. 

And, if there is anyone who will be given first priority, it will be her or Kyra. They are after all picked by Oliver himself. 

So, Jennifer couldn't help but look at Kyra as her competition. 

"I hope we will get along." Jennifer said with a smile. 

"Me as well." Kyra said but she could detect something fishy in Jennifer's attitude. 

"Dr. Lopez, Dr. Miller is looking for you. He wants you to meet him in his office with all the files on your desk." a nurse knocked on the door and said. 

Kyra nodded her head and picked all the files in her arms before leaving the room. 

'She doesn't look like a normal nerd. She was very calm and didn't jump in excitement like these fangirls and she didn't get anxious like the other guys who are afraid of him.' Jennifer thought, looking at Kyra's receding figure. 

"It looks like I have to compete in both work and personal life too. Here I have one competition and there, I have another competitor, his girlfriend. Life is getting tough" Jennifer muttered to herself before leaving the room. 

She and Daniel decided to meet for coffee.
