After discussing the possible rivalry between Oliver Miller and Luther Smith, everyone went back to their work. It was a casual discussion for everyone and they didn't give much heed to it except for Kyra, 

The thought of rivalry between Oliver and Luther started scaring her. 

However, for now, she could only push them into the back of her head and start focussing on her work. But the concern is evident in her eyes. 

"Dr. Lopez, Dr. Miller has asked you to bring the file of patient eight to his room," a nurse told Kyra when she was about to leave the office to inspect her patient's conditions. 

Kyra nodded her head and fished out the file from her desk and left the room. However, she could sense the envious gazes of Teressa, Lillith and other fellows who are crazily possessive of Oliver. 

"I still can't digest that this girl from some low tier med school got lucky enough to work with Dr. Miller!! It's unacceptable.", Teressa huffed. 

"But, her skills say otherwise. Did you see how fast she has worked on the patient from the day before yesterday?? She saved his life!!" Ron, who is very fond of Kyra, came to her defense. 

"So what?? She just got lucky!!" Teressa rebuked. 

"I heard she changed the operation procedure in the middle of the surgery. That's so unprofessional. I expected Dr. Miller punished her for that but he didn't. It's so unfair," she added. 

"If she wouldn't have detected the problem and changed the procedure that day, the patient would have lost his vision and would have become permanently blind!! She was able to save a person's vision by avoiding the damage to his optic nerve and she could do that because she is skilled enough to detect the issue before any harm is done."

"Why would she get punished for saving a person's quality of life? If it was us, I don't think many of us would have been skilled enough to do that! We should never judge a person because of their background!", Ron said, his voice pretty serious. 

"Someone is getting too emotional. I wonder why he is taking it so personally.", Teressa mocked. 

"I think he loves her, Ter.", Lillian said. 

"Whether I do or not is none of your business. Don't act in unprofessional way and bring shame to us.", Ron warned and left the room. 

"Even if it is not Ria, you have Jennifer as an obstacle, Teressa." Lillith said to her friend Teressa. 

"I heard Dr. Luther Smith is wealthy and powerful just like Dr. Oliver Miller. There are rumors that Dr. Luther Smith is actually from a royal family. He is single as well.", she added. 

"Royal?" Teressa asked. 

"Yes. Handsome and charismatic as well." Lillith added. 

Teressa smiled. 

If not Oliver, it could be Luther.

Meanwhile, Kyra entered Oliver's office room after knocking on the door and getting his approval. 

When Oliver looked at Kyra, he could only smile sweetly. He couldn't help but reminisce about the wonderful mourning they shared and how they officially became a couple. 

Kyra forced a smile in response and sat down across from him. And, Oliver has of course noticed it. 

'Is something wrong?' he thought. 

'Is it anything related to today's morning? Is she regretting what she did?' he thought and it only made him panic. 

"Is something wrong, Ky?", he asked as he took her hand into his. 

When he didn't get any response he could only walk to her and sit on the arm of her chair. 

"You can tell me. You know it right?" he asked as he entwined their fingers. 

It is only when Kyra realized that she is making Oliver nervous with her behavior. 

"Nothing is wrong. I was preoccupied with something.", Kyra said and brought their entwined hands towards her cheek and placed it on her soft skin. 

Her move surprised him but it felt sweet. It made him smile more and it reached his eyes. Seeing her get expressive with her feelings like this made Oliver happy. 

"Anything I could help?" Oliver asked as he caressed her hair with his other hand. 

As she is sitting on the chair and Oliver is sitting on the arm of that chair, her head is at the same height as his heart. 

Kyra snuggled closer and closed her eyes. His presence had a calming effect on her and when she felt his warmth, all the worry she had till now vanished into thin air. 

Resting her head against his chest, she smiled. 

"This is enough.", she said. 

Oliver kissed the top of her head and rested the side of his face on her head. Being like this in embrace, he felt content and happy. And, the thought of getting the time to do this everyday made him even more happy and he couldn't help but look forward to it. 

"We are violating the rules.", Kyra whispered after a few minutes. 

"Rules?" Oliver asked, looking at her. 

"Separating our professional and personal life.", Kyra said.

While they drove back this morning from the park to Kyra's house, they had set some rules. As they work together and they spend most of their day in hospital, it is necessary to have some rules set. 

"Yeah. Yeah.", Oliver said but didn't make any move to retreat. 

"When we came up with this rule, I thought it was possible to follow. I didn't expect that it would be this tough. Ky, can we have some exceptions now and then?" Oliver asked. 

Kyra chuckled when she noticed Oliver's face. He looked cute…

"Sometimes maybe," Kyra said. 

"Let's have one of those exceptions today?", Oliver asked, resting his face on her head. 

Kyra smiled.

"We can", she said and they both chuckled for a bit. 

They stayed like that for God knows how long they enjoyed their sweet time together. 

The knock was the one which disturbed them. 

Kyra immediately straightened her clothes and organized her hair. 

Oliver cleared his throat and straightened his tie and he was about to go to open the door but Kyra held his hand. 

Oliver stopped and looked at her. 

Kyra pursed her lips and gestured to look at his shirt. Oliver followed the line of her sight but looked confused. 

Kyra cleared her throat and gestured to him to come near her. When he did, she picked the fallen hair of hers that's sticking to his shirt. 

When Oliver realised what just happened, he couldn't help his laughter. 

"I feel like we are having some affair. It's exciting." Oliver whispered to Kyra. 

Kyra rolled her eyes and shook her head. 

This guy…

The one waiting at the door is none other than Luther and the president. 

"Why is he taking a lot of time? This doesn't happen." President said as he and Luther waited. 

As Oliver is also a member of the diagnostic team, it is formality for Luther to meet Oliver. 

"Maybe Mr. Miller is busy with work." Luther said and just at that time Oliver opened the door. 

And when Oliver saw Luther, he could only narrow his eyes.

What is the guy from Kyra's phone doing here?? 

But, pushing his thoughts aside, he welcomed his Godfather and Luther. 

When Luther saw Kyra sitting on the chair, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. 

What is Kyra doing here?? 

"Kyra, you are here as well." her Uncle said, getting Kyra's attention. 

And, when Kyra turned around, she couldn't deny that she was surprised and shocked at the same time. 

Ahh! Why should Luther come now at this time?? 

"I am here to discuss the surgery." Kyra answered. 

She looked at Luther and then at Oliver before averting her eyes. 

However, she didn't miss the hostile look Luther and Oliver shared. 

"When Oliver took this long to open, I thought he was busy with his work. Seems like he is busy with you. Cough...cough... discussion" her uncle teased her. 

"We were really busy with discussion, president" Kyra said but she couldn't help but look at Oliver who gave her a small, mischievous smile. 

"I forgot to introduce Dr. Smith here. I think you are familiar with him, Kyra." The president said. 

"Of course." Kyra said. 

"We are familiar with each other." Luther said and it made Kyra look at him. 

Familiar?? They are best friends for God's sake!! 

"Good...good." president said and focussed his attention to Oliver. 

"This is Dr. Luther Smith from Collins Hospitals. I think you heard of him, Oliver." The president introduced Luther to Oliver. 

"And, this is Dr. Oliver Miller. The head of the neurology department and also the director of the hospital. You might have heard about him, Dr. Smith" he introduced Oliver to Luther. 

"I might have heard. Anyway, nice to meet you, Dr. Luther Smith." Oliver said. 

"It's my pleasure to meet you, Dr. Oliver Miller. Though I didn't hear much about you, I will keep you in my mind." Luther said. 

They shared a handshake but both their grips are tight. The hostility is visible in it. 

Meanwhile, Kyra looked at them with worried eyes. He's sure they have heard a lot about each other. After all, they are famous and work in the same field. 

Why the hell are they pretending like this??
