Chapter: 744
Since she hadn't worked for such a long time, she was feeling a bit nervous. She spent the entirety of last night rehearsing the interview in her mind as well as reviewing some materials.
While in the car, she took out a book and started reading. Noticing this, the driver made sure to drive steadily.
All of a sudden, the car screeched to a halt. Camila was startled by the sudden movement and asked, “What's wrong?”
“Someone is blocking our way!" the driver answered. Camila then rolled down her window to see what was going on. Upon peeking her head outside, she saw that there were many people standing on the road. They seemed to be looking at something.
“I'LL see what's going on," the driver said. Camila nodded and went back to her book.
After a while, the driver returned and said, “It looks Like someone has fainted on the road."
An alarmed look swept across Camila's face. She immediately put down her book and got out of the car. After squeezing her way through the crowd, she saw an old man with grey hair lying on the road.
“Excuse me! Excuse me! I'm a doctor. Let me please have a look." Immediately, the crowd parted, creating a path for her. She waved to the people who were close to the unconscious man and said, "Please step back. Don't be so close to the patient. Give him some fresh air!"
There was a certain gravitas in her command that made the people comply instantly.
Camila knelt close to the unconscious man and began doing a preliminary checkup. First, she checked the patient's breathing and listened to his heartbeat.
Since the patient's heart wasn't beating, she concluded that she should immediately perform first-aid on him. The patient should lie flat on the ground to optimize his blood flow and make it reach his brain. That could help him wake up.
After Camila performed first-aid, the unconscious man slowly started waking up.
Around this time, the ambulance had arrived. Camila helped the medics load the man into the ambulance before Leaving.
Once the ambulance had left, the onlookers began to disperse as well. With no one in her way, Camila went straight back into the car.
However, because she had saved that person, she arrived late for her interview. She wasn't there for her scheduled time. So, for a long time, she sat in the waiting room, waiting for someone to call her name, but no one did. Once everyone else had left, she asked the interviewer why she wasn't called.
Only then did she realize that she was late and had missed the interview.
“If you're applying for a job, you have to be on time. If you can't even be punctual, how can you be a good doctor?" the interviewer told her. Although his face seemed blank, there was a slight hint of condescension in his tone.
Camila tried to explain. "On the way, I ran into a—"
“No need to come up with an excuse why you're late." The interviewer glanced coldly at her before saying, “You can leave now."
Despite this, Camila remained adamant. She didn't want to give up! She had to do everything in her power to seize this rare opportunity!
“Please give me a chance, I have prepared a lot for this interview—" she pleaded.
“That's your problem," the interviewer cut her off.
“You came late and missed your interview. The only one to blame for this is yourself. If you really cared about this job, you shouldn't have been late to the interview."
Judging from his tone and expression, the interviewer was obviously growing impatient.
“If you keep pestering me, I'll ask the security guards to throw you out!" he threatened.
