Axell ended the call.

Debra knocked on the door with a grin. “Axell, you're going to the concert with your girl? What a coincidence! I dig this pianist too!"

Axell always felt awkward around her since the last encounter.

So he grinned back and changed the subject. "I have to scrub up and get ready for the surgery.”

Debra beamed. “I'm your new assistant. Surprise! I just got transferred to your department. I hope we will make a great team."
