After a long pause, he said, Dont count on it happening in this lifetime!
A few days later, Duefrons medical community hosted a banquet to help up-and-coming talents in the field find a partner.
Axell, being valued by the hospital, got an invite.
Seize the chance, Axell.
He smiled, replying, Sir, Ive already got a girlfriend!
His supervisor smacked his forehead and exclaimed, Dang, I totally forgot! That pic of you and your girl smooching caused a real stir in Duefron. Shes a real looker Even beats all the nurses here!
Axell grinned at the compliment.
His supervisor then handed him another invitation. Take your lady with you and have a blast! I can start picking the wedding gift, yeah?
You bet!
After the supervisor left, Axell dialed Jessies number. Hey Jessie, got two invites. Want to hit the bash with me tonight? We might be the only non-singles in the crowd!
Jessies night was open, so she agreed.
Little did she know shed bump into Albert at the party.

What was Albert doing at a gathering of medical experts?
A senior colleague of Axells, with caution, introduced them. Axell, meet Mr. Waston, bigwig from Waston Group! Mr. Waston, heres our young gun, Dr. Axell Calderon, and his lady. Such a lovely couple, right?
Albert was sharp, dressed to the nines.
His diamond cufflinks glinted.
With champagne in hand, he eyed Jessie. Her maroon dress hugged her figure, accentuating her complexion and slender waist like something out of a fairy tale.
After a moment, he grinned, Saw the pic that day. Theyre indeed a match made in heaven.
Jessie was repulsed.
She didnt want to lay eyes on him, Politely nodding was all she managed.
Though Axell was itching to chat with Albert, he recalled Jessies warning about their mismatch. Suppressing the urge, Axell settled for a handshake. Mr. Waston, pleasure to meet you.
Albert shook hands courteously.
Glancing at Jessies wine glass, he remarked casually, Miss Greens not much of a drinker. Dr. Calderon, seems like youre slacking in the boyfriend department!
Axell turned to Jessie, saying, How about some juice instead?
