Gabriel froze.

He didn't realize Emily was in such a hurry to cut ties with him. She couldn't wait to move on to the next guy, and he wondered if she had set her sights on Robert or someone new.

Gabriel's hands clenched into fists.

He couldn't believe Emily's guts. Here he was, trying to figure out how to calm this storm. Meanwhile, she was planning on divorcing him.

His dark eyes filled with rage.

He took a step back, and turned around without a word.

Since she was so desperate to leave him, he would make sure things didn't go her way.

By late afternoon, the hallways had emptied. Emily had changed out of her white coat, dressed down, and stepped out of her office with her bag slung over her shoulder.

As she walked past the nurses' station, she ran into the same group of nurses taking a drink by the water cooler. They were the same ones who had been gossiping at her door earlier that day.

They disdainfully glared at Emily when they spotted her. The one in front stumbled on purpose and shrieked, "Oh no!" The glass of iced water in her hands spilt on Emily's pants and shoes.

"I'm so sorry, Dr. Sterling. It was an accident." The nurse gleefully smirked without an inch of remorse. The others covered their mouths, giggling as well.

Emily lowered her gaze, staring at the dripping water on her pants. Droplets slid off her shoes and spattered onto the floor.

On any other day, she might have let it slide. But not today.

She slowly lifted her head, her gaze cold as ice. "Is that so?" she softly asked, but her tone sent a chill down the nurses' backs, and the smiles on their faces froze.

Emily had always been quiet and resigned. They didn't expect her to respond this way.

"What are you going to do?" The nurse with the empty cup stumbled back under Emily's stare.

Emily slowly approached her with a fierce glare. "You've got some nerve."

Her presence was so intimidating that the arrogant group was struck silent. Finally, one of the nurses blurted, "We're just telling the truth! Aren't you ashamed of what you did?"
