Chapter 624 It’s Too Late
Despite Lucy’s inner thoughts, she maintained a faint smile. “Of course I do.”
The woman laid the document in her hands on the desk. “Ms. Lane, I need your signature on this document so I can submit these expenses to the finance department for reimbursement.”
Martha glanced at Lucy coldly. “There’s no rush. Review it, fill in any missing details, and come back to me in two days.”
“Ms. Lane, here’s the thing.” Lucy pouted but responded respectfully, “I’ve organized it meticulously and need your signature here. If anything is missing, I’ll bring it to your attention next time. Could you please sign this for me first?”
“What if there’s no next time?” Martha stared at Lucy coldly, her smile turning malicious. “Perhaps this is your final reimbursement application in our hospital…
Lucy was taken aback. She gazed at Martha in shock, taking a moment to come to her senses. However, she feigned ignorance on the surface. “Why is that? Are you planning to dismiss
Ms. Lane?”
me,
“Perhaps.” Martha sneered but refrained from further comment.
Lucy is Cherise’s closest friend and secured a position at Lermille Hospital through Cherise’s influence.
Now that Cherise will be in hot water, it’s hard for Lucy to remain unscathed.
When Cherise gets ousted, perhaps Lucy will also be implicated and have to leave…
Upon seeing that the older woman remained unmoved, Lucy smirked. She picked up the documents on the desk and held them to her chest. “You’re right, Ms. Lane. I’ll review it again. Perhaps I won’t need your signature next time. I should hope our new deputy hospital director will be friendlier.”
Lucy’s words caused Martha to raise her brows abruptly. Martha glared at Lucy icily. “What did you just say?!”
“Perhaps you’re on the verge of being dismissed too.”
The atmosphere in the office suddenly grew tense.
Martha’s eyes widened, and she glared fiercely at Lucy. “What did you say?!”
“We’re in the same boat.” Lucy continued smiling at Martha. “Ms. Lane, didn’t you just insinuate that I would be dismissed? If you can make such jokes with me, why can’t I do the same with you? We should be treated equally. I believe that no one enjoys being the butt of a
cruel joke, including you.”
“I’ll inform Dr. Keeples that you didn’t approve.” Lucy continued smiling and held the documents close. “He told me to look for you to expedite the approval of this document for reimbursement because it involves his personal funds.”
She yawned lightly and had just walked away when she heard Martha’s somewhat resentful voice from behind, “Come back. I’ll approve it!”
“It’s too late.” Lucy yawned again. “I’ll go look for Mrs. Keeples.”
Lermille Hospital had a hospital director and two deputy directors. One was Martha, and the other was Mrs. Keeples, Dr. Keeples’ wife.
Anything related to Dr. Keeples’ personal funds was usually approved by Martha, as it could potentially cause conflicts if Mrs. Keeples were to sign off on it. But now, Lucy was determined to get Mrs. Keeples’ approval instead.
If Dr. Keeples wanted to hold someone accountable, all blame could be pointed to Martha!
“You’re ruthless!” Martha clenched her fists tightly as she watched Lucy leave determinedly.
