Sold? Oh Please. Chapter 48

"Mr Song, I assure you this aren't negotiable. We need to increase the budget for the machinery."
"I am not changing my mind, I've told you hire a biomedical engineer. If you can't find a good one, get me someone who can." Paul said firmly. "Look you're the CEO of this hospital, I expect you to be more sensible than this. Because the Song chain of hospitals pulls in billions doesn't mean you get to use that money, my money anyhow."
"Sir, with all due respect you're not a medical person that's probably why you won't completely understand. I'm speaking from a doctors perspective." The CEO insisted.
"Yeah well, I don't care. This isn't a charity, it's a business and I will not have you spend money unnecessarily like this. Why do you need to get new machinery every year. Even the best hospitals in the world don't change these machines like this."
"That's why we always remain the best sir."
Paul laughed, grinning and walking of to the balding man that thinks he can intimidate him. He might not be a doctor but he was a businessman. He was also not stupid, he was going to proof to everyone that he could run a hospital without going to medical school. The health care sector was a business after all.
He tucked his hands into the pockets on his pants. Looking down at the doctor, he smirked. "So you mean to tell me that the only reason we are the best is because of equipment? Wow... and my brother was bragging about hiring only the best staff. Are you saying you're incompetent without new fancy equipment?" Paul asked the man smiling at him.
The doctor gasped, he did not expect this line of attack. He always hated the fact that his superior was a pompous boy that had no idea what it meant to be a doctor, the struggles and hard choices they had to make every day. And he always thought of Paul as some green horn that knew nothing and would just play around, at least that was he's exact expectations when his father appointed him has the head of the board for this particular hospital. What he did not predict was that this scandalous boy would be this interested in the affairs of the hospital.

At first he seemed completely clueless and uninterested, but it was obvious like his father all he wanted was to make money. But unlike his father he didn't care for the lives and the work that they did here. At least his father was also a doctor.
Now he was smiling at him? Paul Song was the type of person that would love people to underestimate them, if fact that was exactly what he did. Over the short time he had known the man, he knew that although he wore an innocent smile on his innocent face, they was malice and danger in that mind of his, he was calculating and shrewd. The doctor knew this, but it appeared he underestimated him.
"You're not understanding what I'm saying Sir."
"I don't care, really if you can't cut the spending expenses as the CEO I should probably start looking for someone who can." He said.
The CEO coughed... "you can't fire me? Your... your father appointed me himself."
Paul laughed. "Come on, even you should know by now that I don't answer to anyone concerning this hospital, especially not my father. I'm not afraid of anyone and trust me the fact that I'm not doctor motivates me to do better than my brothers. I want to prove that I'm much better, and I will do anything, anything at all. Even fire an arrogant old man that thinks he can keep questioning me."
The doctor glared at him but kept his mouth shut.
"Now you will hire a team of engineers to maintain our machinery. No new equipment will be bought without my approval. I hope I've made myself clear." Paul leaned down to whisper into the CEO ears.
The man gritted his teeth but nodded.
"Tsk tsk... that's not enough, words CEO, words."

"Yes sir."
"Now that more like it" Paul smiled tapping his cheeks. "Have a nice day sir." He said walking out.
Now he had to go tell Katherine the good news. It was her idea after all, if he could save and invest the 3 billion dollars they spent every year replacing all the machines he would definitely surpass his brothers.
He walked out of the elevator, prancing about as he normally did, with his resting non chalant expression. He stopped to greet with her attending nurse as he normally did whenever he came around to see Katherine.
"Mr. Song" The nurse smiled at him.
"How is my favourite nurse?" He winked.
The nurse gave him a small laugh as she tried to hide her reddening cheeks.
"I'm fine, but I must warn you sir Dr. Park isn't here." The nurse said.
"What do you mean by that? I know for a fact that she's on call right now." Paul frowned, where would she have gone? She never left the hospital when she was on call, never.
.
"Ahh... I see you haven't heard yet." The nurse looked down and tugged her hair behind her ears.
"Heard what?"
"She was arrested." A voice said from behind him.
Paul eyes widened in shock as he turned around.
"What did you just say?"
"Dr. Park has been arrested." The woman said.
"Why?" He asked " why?" He turned to the nurse.
"Mr. Song..." The nurse said.
"She was caught threatening to take a patient's life" The woman behind him said.
"What?!" Paul yelled. "Katherine would never do that!"
"Katherine huh... I didn't realise she was so chummy with the Song family. Huh, I'm surprised, Anyways it's been a long time coming, honestly. She thinks she's better than everyone. " The woman said. "Maybe that's what gave her the guts to threaten Patricia Lee's life."
"Patricia Lee? Patricia Lee is here?" He asked.
The woman gave him an incredulous look, how wouldn't he know that the heiress to the most powerful family was in his own hospital?
"Look Mr. Song I can understand your upset that the good name of you hospital is tarnished. But you needn't be too worried. You still have staff, good staff like me. I'm one of the aces of this fine establishment-" She kept rambling but at this point Paul couldn't care less.
Patricia was here? Why the hell was Katherine even with her? This most be some sick joke. He had to go get her.
"Shit!" He cursed walking away.
"Wait... Mr Song!" The woman called after him, huffing. "What! What are you looking at!" She yelled at the nurse.
The nurse shook her head and struggled to hold her laughter in. "That was difficult to watch, but then again desperation looks good on you Dr. Choi." She said walking away.
The doctors jaw dropped and she scoffed. "The nerve of that woman, hey! Who do you think you are?!"
