person. It was part of what confused her so much about him.
Noah seemed to care a great deal for his patients, even if he didn’t show it to them. He spent many unnecessary hours at the hospital, she’d found, reviewing charts and reading up on the latest cancer treatment research. She believed his explanation that he found all of her efforts to be distractions from what he was meant to be doing: treating children. He was surly and overbearing, but that didn’t make him a bad man.
“I know he can be challenging,” Ana went on, “but keep in mind that his demands of others pale in comparison to what he demands from himself.”
She sensed Ana was trying to tell her something that she couldn’t voice aloud, whether for confidentiality reasons or private ones.
“Just try not to take his attitude personally. It’s not about you. You’re doing a fantastic job, and the therapy dog program is a great idea. Noah will get on board with it, in time.”
“Mmm.” She didn’t want to disagree with Ana, especially being so new to the job. But she was pretty sure the handsome doctor did have some personal dislike of her. But regardless of how they clashed personally, as he’d said, they were professionals. They could surely find their footing in a working relationship even if they’d never be, as he put it, “best friends.”
She only wished she didn’t have to fight him every step of the way.
“I’m sure it will work out just fine,” she finally offered.
But as she left her boss’s office, she couldn’t help thinking that there was no way Noah was ever going to believe they were on the same side.
