AMEIRA stared at the upper corner of a frameless glass door where it was written that the owner of this office is the hospital director. A young nurse wearing a blue uniform approached her and asked, “Excuse me, Miss. Do you have any appointments with the director? I mean, I’ve been watching you this whole time and you don’t even speak or tell me what brings you here. Therefore, I was wondering if you have business here. I’m afraid I might call a guard to escort you out. This place is strictly prohibited and you might scare the patients. "


"Sorry to disturb you, I’m looking for the General Services Department to apply as a cleaner. I’m lost. Can you point me the way? " Ameira answered directly, looking her straight in the eyes.


“You already passed it. It’s on the second floor in the left corner. You will find it there, " the young nurse pointed out.

Ameira nodded, despite knowing which floor it was. She’s on the tenth floor, where she intends to meet with the director of the hospital floor that she intends to visit. However, she is reluctant to do so for some reason.


She just saw herself walking towards the elevator and pressing the down button while waiting; she overheard a group of nurses at the counter gossiping about a new resident of the hospital, but Ameira already knew whom it was based on what they were gossiping about.

'Aleja, you really are famous, aren’t you? Even those nurses are interested in you despite being an ex-convict. No wonder Samara is so fond of you.' She whispered to herself in the back of her head. She walked forward to step inside the elevator when she heard the sounds of it. The three young nurses followed while conversing about that man.


"Do you know that Aleja was the owner of this hospital, so they will definitely stop him from being here," a young nurse with a clean bun and simple make-up stated.
“Really? No wonder all the higher positions are bothered about his comeback. There will be a long battle between the heir, the chairwoman, and the older brother in this hospital. Geez. It’s such a bloody thing to be born rich, don’t you think? " The second young woman shook her head incredulously.
The third woman pressed the third button and spoke up, “Not only that, our director, Celestina, was his old lover while dating his trusted friend Leon.”

Two young nurses were shocked upon the revaluation as a letter O formed on their lips. “Really?!? Then it’s going to be a bloody war. " The first young woman asked, frightened.

“Who knows? Based on the comments of other nurses and doctors, as well as how much Aleja loved him, I believe that included his ex-lover. I really don’t know what will happen to this hospital, but it’s not going to be easy. I just hope I won’t work with him. " She shrugged her shoulders.


"Why do you say so?” the second young lady asked.

"Don’t you get it? If we happen to work with him, everyone will hate us and start ignoring us. Do you think the chairwoman, including his son, will allow him to be here? Of course not! His life will be a living hell when he insists on working here as the new resident. No matter how intelligent he is, it won’t change the fact that he killed his own father. "


“Yah! How do you know all about this? Where did you get all this information? " The first young woman impressed

"Hell! It’s all over the internet! Even a young child knows about this issue. Unless they don’t read articles. Pssh. His comeback is trending worldwide, so I’m sure it’s too low for him to work here. A lot of people—wait, cut it, everyone was against him, not unless... " She didn’t continue her sentence since the elevator had already opened as three of them stepped out.


In her usual expression, Ameira stared at the wall as she leaned against the wall of the elevator. She had already reached the second floor and was ready to leave. Everywhere she turned, everyone was gossiping about Aleja and how terrible he was as an ex-convict.
Ameira began to get irritated. These never-ending murmurs are like a damn insect. She wants to gather them and spray them with pesticides to kill them and shut them down. Her lips tightened. She applied for a cleaning position in the General Department.

Later on, she was told to go to the third floor for the interview. She was confused nonetheless. She walked back to the elevator again and went to the third floor as instructed.
