章節 153: Valentine's day (8)

Seeing that her mentor is handing her a bouquet of red roses on Valentine's day, JoAnna was uncomfortable. 'Why is he giving me flowers? He is not having some ideas, is he?' He is more than twice her age! Even if JoAnna neglects age difference, she never had any romantic ideas about him. She respects him as a person and as an expert in surgery, but that is where her thoughts about him stop. Also, he is her mentor and who supervises her residency, any romance between them would be very inappropriate. JoAnna shook her head chasing those thoughts away. "I'm flattered, but I don't think it's appropriate for me to accept these."

His smile faded and he frowned, "You don't like them?"

She shrugged, "There is nothing wrong with flowers... they are beautiful."

"Then accept them. A beautiful lady deserves beautiful flowers.", smile came back to his face.
