THE (UN)EXPECTED ARRANGED MARRIAGE

Hospital.

Lycia's next shift was only tonight, but this afternoon, she got a call from the hospital, telling her that she needed to come to the hospital as soon as possible.

It was an unexpected call for her. She had worked at the hospital for several years, but just today she received a call from the hospital ordering her to come without telling her beforehand.

When the phone call ended, she suddenly felt nervous, assuming that she probably made mistakes or something.

She couldn't imagine losing her stable job, and that was why she immediately got ready to go to the hospital to find the answer to her curiosity.

Her mother entered her room and continued her tirade, but Lycia once again pretended to be deaf when she started to put on her coat. It was early winter, but it was quite cold outside. That was why she decided to wear a thick coat because she wasn't a fan of the cold.

Lycia told her mother that she needed to go to the hospital immediately, but before she could leave her apartment, her mother grabbed her by the arm before saying,

["I will arrange a meeting with a man for you, Lycia. If you can't find a man of your own, then I will help you to find one. Your father and I were set up many years ago, but we are happy and in love with each other now. I believe that you will become like us even if you marry someone from an arranged marriage."]

That was what her mother said before she could finally leave her apartment, and Lycia got a series of headaches because of it.

The talk of an arranged marriage was not unexpected for her. She kept rejecting her parents' idea of ​​getting married soon, and she knew that her parents would lose their temper sooner or later.

And it turned out that they lost their temper sooner than expected, and they even decided to arrange a wedding for her. That was to be expected, but Lycia didn't expect it to come to her so quickly.

She was driving her car distracted by it, but luckily, she managed to get her car to arrive at the hospital without a scratch. Sighing heavily, she then unbuckled her seat belt before leaving the car at the parking area.

The call earlier was from the hospital number, and the caller told her to go to the director's office immediately when she arrived at the hospital.

That was another reason why she was so nervous after answering the call. The hospital director was a senior doctor who attended medical schools overseas, and he also worked in several overseas hospitals before returning to the country and establishing his own hospital.

Being a senior doctor with a lot of experience, the director became an arrogant person who liked to boss his subordinates.

Lycia rarely met the director because they were on different levels. Lycia had just started climbing the mountain from the mainland, but the director was already in the sky. That was why she rarely saw the director in person.

And now when she was called by the director, she kept thinking about the worst.

Her legs felt extremely heavy when she carried them into the hospital, and even when her colleagues greeted her with smiles on their faces, she could only smile stiffly at them without returning the greeting.

She wasn't arrogant or anything, but she was too nervous to open her mouth to speak.

The director's office was on the fifth floor, and when she was in the elevator, she immediately pressed the number 5 to go up to the office.

This would be her first time going to the director's office, and she felt a strange uneasiness in her heart as the elevator continued to move upwards. For some reason, she had a bad feeling about what would happen to her after meeting the director.

"Am I really going to get fired? Did I make a big mistake that made the director so angry that he decided to fire me?" She muttered to herself. Looking at her reflection on the elevator wall, she found her face pale as flour.

The elevator's double doors opened on the fifth floor, and Lycia once again carried her heavy legs down the elevator before continuing to walk towards the director's office.

The fifth floor was a special floor reserved for important figures in the hospital, and that was why it was deserted because ordinary people couldn't go there if there were no appointments with those important figures.

The interior of the fifth floor was more stunning than the one on the other floors, and Lycia could understand it because this floor was exclusive.

Arriving in front of the director's office, Lycia couldn't go straight into the room because the director's secretary blocked her way and said that she would inform the director of her arrival first.

It was like a habit, so Lycia just stiffly nodded her head as she waited at the front of the office. And after the secretary came out of the office and informed her that the director was ready to meet her, Lycia was finally able to open the door before nervously entering the room.

If she was amazed by the interior outside the office, then now she was speechless because the interior inside the director's room was far more luxurious than the one outside.

'Is it a penthouse or something?' She thought as she cast her gaze to scan the room.

It was a bit stupid because the room was only on the fifth floor, but the interior design of the room was like a penthouse.

"You have arrived? Please have a seat."

Lycia heard a cold and unfamiliar voice, but she knew that it belonged to the hospital director.

When she turned her gaze to the left of the room, she saw the director sitting elegantly on the sofa with a cup in his hand.
