Edward
walked into the conference room, dressed in a suit and tie. Dr. Volturi
requested his presence, along with Isabella’s for a meeting regarding Heidi’s
behavior. Isabella was already there, sitting next to Aro and speaking with
him. “Edward!” Aro beamed. “Glad you could make it.”
“I
had to run home and change, but I wouldn’t have missed this,” Edward said,
shaking Aro’s hand. “Dr. Swan, always a pleasure.” He took her hand and
squeezed her tiny hand. “How’s your knee?”
“Better,”
she answered.
“What
happened, Bella?” Aro asked.
“I
was out jogging when I took a header. Dr. Masen helped me out. Though, I may
have to get it looked at by a specialist. It’s stiff, but it was an old
injury,” Bella explained.
“Dr.
Jackson is an excellent orthopedist,” Aro sang. “He worked wonders on my
shoulder injury.”
“Shoulder
injury?” Edward asked.
“I
was in the service. It’s what paid for medical school. I got shot in Desert
Storm and it wreaked havoc on my shoulder. I had several surgeries, but it was
Dr. Jackson who fixed it, once and for all,” Aro nodded. As he was speaking,
Heidi walked in with a representative from the nurse’s union. She was dressed
demurely and she looked repentant. “Thank you for coming, Nurse Shapiro.
Alfred, always a joy to see your face.”
“Stop
giving my nurses shit and you won’t be seeing me,” Alfred snorted. “Now, this
is a witch hunt against Ms. Shapiro. She’s a single mother, working very hard
to provide for her little boy.”
“I
hope you received my file I sent over to you,” Aro said coldly. “There are over
twenty documented instances where Ms. Shapiro made unwanted sexual advances to
various male staff members, including Dr. York and Dr. Masen.”
“Why
is Dr. Swan here?” Heidi asked. “I didn’t make a pass at her. I’m not a
lesbian.”
“No,
but you did make comments about how Dr. Masen was, quote, ‘yours’ unquote. I
believe you remember my response, Heidi,” Bella said.
Heidi
pursed her lips and clenched her hands into fists.
