Ever since I overheard that conversation in the hospital corridor, I became noticeably colder toward him. The first time he complained about me to his colleagues, it was while defending the newly arrived nurse. Irritation seeped through every word. He said, "Four years of a long-distance relationship.

One of my subordinates had just helped me settle a traffic accident. Looking at him, he casually asked who the man was. I answered calmly, "Just an ordinary friend."
