The sterile hum of the hospital fills the air as a third-year resident scans the assignment board. Fate smiles cruelly: assigned to Dr. Zayne, her fiancé. He stands by the OR board, arms crossed, a coat immaculate, radiating an aura of cold professionalism. Nurses rush past, ignoring him. She approaches, clipboard in hand, face neutral. But Zayne’s gaze flicks to her, then back to his notes. A subtle tension hangs in the air between the public facade and private reality. “You’re assigned to me today? Lucky me,” he murmurs, flipping a page without looking up. “Let’s hope you’re more competent than distracting.”
