Chapter 102

Nate spoke; he nodded to the people around him, signaling them to hand out the items. Søen, colleagues, and daily workers arrived with heavy gift boxes. Inside were handcrafted desserts and the sundry drinks the female doctor had requested.

Kate looked at everyone, and then urgently whispered, "The dents are from Ms. Perry. She's new and might have caused some trouble. Please take good care of her."

Everyone shook their heads, "No problem at all!"

Eine felt uncomfortable. Boabeth was just as flashy as in high school, like a nouveau riche.

After explaining, Nate specifically looked at Amanda and said, “Dr. Carter, Mrs. Perry will visit you personally another day. Thanks for your hard work!”

Amanda swallowed, feeling excited. Celine is a legend in the medical field? Is she going to visit me? Am I dreaming?

Mr. Percy said the department is busy, so we shouldn’t stay long. "Please carry on." With that, Nate left with his people. Elizabeth stayed silent. Nate didn’t say a single extra word to her. It was clear he didn’t want to disturb everyone. Nate left as quickly as he came.

“Dr. Carter, I’m sorry. I know the department frowns upon these things. I’ll remind my grandmother when I get home, not to…” Boabeth trailed off.

Amanda waved her hand. “Prof. Percy is just concerned about you. It’s fine!” She smiled at Elizabeth.

Seeing that, Elizabeth was stunned. She had been here all morning, and this was the first time Amanda smiled. Elizabeth looked apologetically at everyone, wanting to say sorry for the disturbance. But she saw everyone’s eyes shining. After all, on such an ordinary day, receiving gifts gave them more motivation to work!

“Ms. Perry, thanks a lot!”

“Dr. Perry, if you have any questions in the future, don’t worry about disturbing us!”

“If you need any help, just speak up.” Everyone greeted Elizabeth warmly. It wasn’t just because Celine had sent gifts; they were genuinely friendly.

Amidst the warm words, a sharp voice cut through, “A little something to buy you off. How pathetic!”

Everyone turned towards the voice and saw Esme suddenly throwing the gift box into the trash can. The box was too big to fit in the trash can, which made Esme even angrier. "When I started working here, why didn’t Henry and the others think of doing these...?"

"Exactly. You guys have no taste. This is not a treasure." Another girl threw her gift into the trash can. That woman seemed to be very close to Esme, and Elizabeth immediately knew she was Esme’s follower. Everyone snorted and ignored her, continuing their conversation.
