Austin was sitting on a chair around the dark brown desk that was set for doctors in a city hospital, he was reading a file of his patient. Austin is one of the best neurosurgeons in town and his schedule is always packed. He hardly gets time to rest or manage his other work, and by any chance, he gets time he prefers to sit alone and enjoy the quietness or he read his patient’s progress which is critical
Austin was writing down points on his pad to discuss later with his co doctors, he was engrossed in his work when Ethan entered in doctor’s room and kept files on the desk, removing his coat and placing it at the back of his chair he greets Austin who responded by nodding only
They both were working not disturbing the peaceful environment when Ethan raised his head from the file and broke the silence by starting the conversation on a topic currently on everyone’s tongue
"Did you know the management is deciding to give the hospital for acquisition to a company" Austin drops his pen to free his hand so he can take the coffee he is served five minutes before by the staff boy
"Why such a sudden decision, are they facing problems in financing" Austin raised the point after thinking for a moment about the reason behind this decision
"I don't know the details but what I heard from our seniors they said they are offered a handsome amount and once it is done, management will be changed here" Austin nodded at him understanding where all this is going to
"Who is interested in City Hospital?" Austin asked Ethan, City Hospital was among the good service-providing hospitals list, they have hired doctors with qualifications from a renowned university and have vast experience in their specialty. Austin joined this hospital after completing his practice and began his studies of specialization, Ethan had joined at the same time as him but he preferred specialization in cardiology, being together from start has created a strong bonding between them
"They say it's Martin Enterprise" Ethan signed the report and closed the file keeping it on the side, Ethan nodded and back to reading the file again
"You have free time today?" Ethan was surprised when saw him sitting in the room
"Yes, today was an urgent meeting of neurosurgeons so have to cancel appointments, but we got free earlier so enjoying my time" Austin informed him of the details
"Enjoying? Man, you need to be checked. Come on look at yourself, girls die for your attention and here you are wasting your charm on patients, okay that's our duty but still, you need to think about having some love in your life" Ethan starts his lecture which he gives to him every time they meet and have time for a long conversation
"Thanks for your suggestion I will surely think about it" Austin smiled at him fully aware Ethan will punch him on the back
"Become serious for your life" Ethan advised him again before leaving, smile removes from Austin's face
"I wish I could think"

Abigail opened her eyes, blinking to remove the effects of sleep, she turned to her left side and picked up her phone to check the time on it which was still set on the time as per England’s
She dialed Charles’s number to inform him about her safely landing and having enough sleep to wipe off the tiredness from her body.
After having good chat on a video call with him, she opted for white fitted cotton jeans and a red colored baggy shirt for today and went to have a hot shower to relax her muscles.
Brushing her copper-dyed hair and leaving them untied to dry naturally she left her room and went to the lobby where Sebastien and others were waiting for her
“Come on Abigail, have lunch first and then we will go driving. You guys should be aware of your surroundings, also you should see the place where you will shift after a week until you are in France” Sebastien pulled a chair for her
They all had already started having their meal, her plate was filled with salad and steak and a soup bowl was beside her plate, she chooses to go for soup first
“We will need to go shopping too, we didn’t bring much luggage with us” Kimberly adds up the list
“Yup, add on the list” Dylan agreed with her taking a swig from his drink
“You have made sure no one knows about us,” Abigail asked Sebastien
“You are my mother’s guest and for that, I have asked her and my sister to join you guys for two weeks and they will also help you set up here” Sebastien already took the precaution
“You are a genius” Blake complimented
“It justifies he is a proficient detective” Dylan commented
They all finished their food and settled in the car, Sebastien turned on the ignition
“Where to first?” he looked at them from the rearview mirror
“Our home” Chloe suggested and looked at others for approval and they all agreed happily and Sebastien increased the pressure on the pedal leaving the car at speed

Derek was sitting in his office, reading an email he had received about internal information of Thomas & Co when a knock on the door was heard, he glanced at his secretary who stepped into his room and stood in front of him, holding a file in his hand which he kept on the glass of his desk, reaching his hand to the file Derek looked at him questioningly
Inside the file was the CV and documents of a person
“Sir, a young man handed me this and said he has been sent by Michael and is instructed to meet you” Derek furrowed his brows, he remembered he asked Michael for a person with software engineering having good hacking skills but he mentioned to let him know first and not sending anyone directly to him
Derek went to check his inbox where an email was received by him half an hour before when he was busy reading a p*f file on their rival company, opening the email he read the text which mentions the details and background check of the candidate he has sent to him, he skimmed the details and when was satisfied he allowed his secretary to send the young man in his office
Secretary left his office closing the door behind him, Derek opened the file and starts reading documents, when his door was opened again with a light knock and a man approached his desk
Derek raised his face and scrutinize his appearance, Man had worn a navy-blue shirt with black pants, and his dark blonde hair had covered his forehead he smiled at him
“Good morning, sir” Derek nodded his head at him and offered a chair opposite his desk to sit
“I read Michael’s email, he mentioned all your details also I read your documents I must say you would have been a quite intelligent student of your university”
“I would not take much time and will have a little conversation and you have to pass that for having this job” Derek looked at him questioningly and the man nodded feeling nervous
“We are told that our rival company wants to take over us in this industry which he is trying for a couple of years, our way of operating is different than others and my opinion is that might have given us an advantage” Derek paused and liked the attention of the candidate
“As I said they want to take our place, we have been informed of the ways they think they will succeed, and one is the hacking of our system. We have a very skilled and specialized team who manages our system and make sure their safety, we will not disturb them, instead, I have a different plan of work to do for this matter which will be communicated to the one who will be hired”
The man looked at him with confusion in his eyes, Derek smiled at his expression and glanced at his documents reading his name on top of the page
“Kylian, nice name it is” Man smiled at him
“Thanks”
“It was nice meeting you, we have your details, if you are hired our team will contact you” Derek offered his hand to shake which Kylian holds
“But sir you didn’t ask anything just briefed me about your company” Kylian tried to argue, afraid he is rejected
“That was an interview, I told you we operate differently” Derek informed him his face serious
“You can leave” Derek relaxed his back on the chair, and watched the man leaving his room in slow steps, once his door is closed, he dialed the number of Michael
“I want to meet you in my office, 3 pm sharp” giving order to him he hung up the call and continue his work of reading the p*f file
Leo was sitting on his chair, watching the view from his window that was a couple of feet above from floor, and reached to the ceiling. Josephine came holding chopped fruits in a bowl for him.“Honey, I’ve cut fresh fruits for you” giving the bowl in his hand she went to close the windows“Let them open, the view is amazing” Leo took a piece of apple with a fork and bit itJosephine rolled her eyes and returned to sit beside himThey were discussing politics when Zoe’s loud chirp took their attention, without giving them time to turn at her she hugged them from behind tightly“Momma, dada I got the job at Austin’s hospital” releasing them and coming to the front she jumped in happinessThe couple was happy seeing their child cheer“I’m so happy for you sweety” Josephine was proud of her daughter and so Leo“When will Austin be home?” Zoe asked her mother“He said he has gotten free early today so I think he will be home anytime soon” answering her she looked at her husband whose happi
Zoe was holding her shoulder bag’s strip, following Austin in the corridor of the city hospital, she wore jeans on her full sleeves t-shirt, with double strap sandals. Her shoulder-length honey-colored hair covered the sides of her face. She was smiling at every person who passes her keeping her steps on track with her brother who was walking fast.“Zoe” she was waving at a child in a wheelchair when Austin called herZoe shifts her gaze at him where he was gesturing her to come near him when she went close to him, he repeated his lecture which was filled with a warning rather than advice that she listened to all the way from home to here“I told you I will not do any stupidity, if you lectured me one more time, I will call dada” she scowled at him for giving her continuous lecture since he came to know of her appointment at the same hospital as his“I am not giving a lecture to you, I am just informing you of the rules and codes of here” rolling his eyes at her he explained himself“
Abigail and her friends entered into hospital’s center area, their eyes were searching for the way they have to go, reading each plate outside the door Abigail’s eyes fall on the reception desk where a young girl was talking on a callShe nudged Chloe and walked slowly to the receptionist, girl smiled at her and asked for a few minutes using her fingers, Abigail nods to her and start looking at her surroundingThe city hospital was built on a large area and has all updated equipment, they work hard to maintain their service and make sure their patient left the hospital healthy and satisfied“Hello, how may I help you?” getting free from the call, the girl asked her in a sweet and soft voice“Yes please, today is my first day here as a doctor and I don’t know where I have to report. Can you guide me” Kimberly and Chloe were at vending machine picking chips and chocolates for them to eat later“Oh sure” the girl called another girl and ask her to take them to the office of the managerT
Blake was working on his laptop when he heard the voices of girls, locking the screen he went out to meet them“Hey you all left early today” Blake’s attire was rough“You were sleeping, we didn’t want to disturb you,” Chloe said to him while beating the coffee for them in a cup“One for me also” Blake requested her“How many you had in today?” Abigail asked him, munching snacks that Blake had left“Just 4”“I don’t understand why we have so quirky people” Chloe scoffed, while all others laughed at her“Hey everyone” They all were busy talking when Dylan entered the house and joined them“Hey Dylan, Chloe says we have quirky people which includes you as well” Blake wrapped his hand on Dylan’s shoulder and said with an evil smile on his face“I didn’t mean that” Chloe tried to defend“Oh yes, Chloe we know what you mean” Kimberly also took part in Blake’s game,Dylan shook his head smiling, Chloe always gets caught in their web“Blake, do you want your coffee or not” when she saw them
Charles was resting his back with the bed crown, his eyes were closed, and clasped Adele’s hand. He opened his eyes which were red due to the fight with himself, moving his gaze to Adele, who was sleeping peacefully for ten years. He smiled softly, Abigail was just like her mother, same hair and face, except the eyes that she got from him. “Do you know our daughter is a young lady now, my friends were saying to me today, we should marry her to a decent and handsome man” he starts talking with his wife. “Adele, she reminds me of you, the way she smiles, she pouts. It seems like you are standing in front of me” a tear escaped his eyes. “I am missing her, when only a few days have passed, she has gone to her training. I was not happy but then I remembered how you wanted to be a doctor.” Wiping the tears from his cheeks he was sharing his loneliness with her “Wake up love, I want to listen to you, you are hearing to me for ten years but making me wait for yours. You should realize the
Sun was already up and was shining brightly, Austin was running in the park near his house, it was his daily routine to start his day with the morning running, it helps him in relieving his anxiety or lose his tensed muscles.Air pods in his ear, he was running looking straight breathing heavily. Loud music cut him off from his surrounding, but the sudden call made him abruptly stop. Shoving out the phone from his trousers pocket, he checked the caller’s identity.He took deep breaths before accepting the call.“What is it?” listening to his heavy voice, the person on call immediately responded.“Our suggestion has been accepted.” Austin smiled at the news.“That’s great. So, when we have to go there.” He asked the person on call.“Today, before twelve noon.” Austin nods at the time he has to reach his destination.“Okay”“Are you in the park?” The person asked him.“Yeah, but I think it’s enough for today. Some stress is already released after listening to your call” Austin starts to
He entered and closed the door behind him, he kept his head low, he needed to build the courage in him to raise his head and see that person.“Dr. Austin, your management suggested to us the name of four doctors, and we called to see whom we can trust for our father’s health.” Nicholas narrowed his eyes at two of the doctors, who have shown no interest in treating this patient, they were not willing to come here but were sent by force from management.Their actions cleared both brothers they will not do their tasks properly.“In my opinion, we should let these two doctors go, they don’t look like doing their job committedly.” Nicholas allowed those doctors to leave and they didn’t even try to defend themselves and clarify instead left the room the second they were told to do so.“So, now you both are here, check our father, read his file and let us know who is willing to take this job,” Nicholas said to them and went to sit on the couch in the room.Austin and Ethan exchanged looks an
“My dad was working day and night on this case, he was collecting evidences, my mom was not happy with him, he was not able to give time to his home, and was continuously getting death threats, so that day he was saying to her, just wait for a few days, soon the suspect will be caught I have almost collected all needed evidence.”“He, also said to her, that these diaries are very important, they have clues to the evidences, we have kept them hidden so that the person cannot reach them, you have to be very careful in keeping them safe. Those last words my dad spoke, I remembered them at his funeral and took them from my mom, and spend time studying and understanding them but he had written code words in them and I cannot understand them, on some places he has only use simple words and from them, I just concluded that Abigail should come here.”“You were confident that Abigail will listen to you?” Dylan asked him, Sebastien laughed.“You don’t know how difficult it was for me to find he
Blake was munching on the snacks while he was working on the work that was assigned by Derek.‘Being a hacker is hell’ he was having too much work load on himself, while playing double roles he couldn’t get enough time to go out and spend the time in the beauty of France.‘We heard you’ startling him, Abigail came ahead and snatched the bag of snacks from him.‘Do you eat all day?’ seeing the wrappers thrown on the floor Kimberly was shocked.‘No, I made pasta for me in the lunch’ Kimberly narrowed her eyes.‘Not for us?’ Abigail throw the pack of snack at Kimberly.‘It was mine Abigail’ seeing his safe place was discovered by Abigail, he whined.‘Stop crying and show me the recording of the camera’ While they were in the hospital, they received the message of Blake claiming he had successfully hacked the camera of Martin house and they can now h
Charlotte’s car stopped in the parking of City Hospital, the driver immediately came out and opened the door for her. She came out of the car and stood at her place to have the view of the hospital’s exterior.She walked elegantly and with grace, having her secretary along with her. When they reached to reception she introduced herself.“Hi, I am Charlotte Martin and I have a meeting with Dr. George” the receptionist was stunned by the aura of the woman, she looks rich and powerful, she swiftly nodded and picked her intercom to talk to Dr. George.It didn’t take her long, she stood in respect and offered Charlotte to follow her.“I am so sorry for making you wait, Dr. George is available in his room, please follow me I will take you to his room” Charlotte narrowed her eyes at the reception desk.“And what about here? Who will accommodate the patients or visitors?” girl smiled sheepishly.
The room was in complete dark the only source making the room enlighten was the TV screen.“Brother, what is your next plan?” The eldest among them was chugging down the wine from his glass when his younger siblings questions him about his next move.“First update me on the current situation” nudging his nephew who was seated beside him to pour the drink in his glass.“Martin Enterprise will soon be sold out to Thomas & Co.” his other brother gave the news to him.“Give me the date, by now you guys must have understood one thing we work on deadlines, we don’t have enough time to spare our enemy to prepare for his backup” he shouted at every one in the room.“By the end of this month” everyone was silent nobody has any satisfactory answer of his question.“Okay, and when the news will be out for the public?” they all exchanged the glances between them, such meetings are always nerve wrecking for them.“It is up to you brother; you will decide this” his brother gave his opinion, the man
“What is my schedule for today?” Charlotte asked her secretary, who was standing opposite to her holding the writing pad and pen in her hands.“Today you have only one meeting to attend” Charlotte raised her face and rested her index finger bended inside her chin.“And with whom it is?” she asked with furrowed brows.“It is with management of City hospital Mr. Nicholas instructed me to schedule the meeting on this date and no others meetings should be add up in list.” Afraid of scolding form her, the secretary tells her the back story of this schedule in speed.“It’s okay Amelie, I understand. This meeting is really very important and it is could Nicholas informed you already, I wouldn’t have appreciated any other meeting along with this one.” Amelie her secretary nodded at her.“Now at what time the meeting starts and what is the venue?” Amelie immediately looked in to her writing pad.“It’s at one o’clock and at the city hospital’s meeting room” Charlotte nodded at her after checkin
“Okay, some good news after listening to some indigestible information” Dylan muttered.“Okay girls do you have something to tell us?” Sebastien asked from girls and they all exchanged the looks.“The Doctor we will be working under went to Martin’s Villa today” Kimberly blurts out.“Woah, the person must be so important that they allowed him to come in to their house.” Blake commented.“I think he would be treating to Abigail’s grandfather, because Dr. Smith was calling him Mr. Martin and Dr. Austin said he will be treating him for now, its what they decided after his checkup and the reports.” Chloe also took part in the conversation and shared her assumption.“Wow, that’s fast, yesterday we were worried for entering into Martin’s Villa and just today we have two ways to know about Martin Villa’s inside” Dylan was pleased with the information, at least they were now having some picture to move the puzzles and get them fit.“Abigail, what did Uncle Charles told you yesterday?” Chloe a
Abigail and Chloe were sat on the couch whereas Blake and Kimberly were on other couch, they all were watching the new movie and were waiting for Dylan to reach home so they all can start on their work.Chloe glanced at Abigail who was laughing at the scene in the movie, she was very upset in the morning, but after Zoe interrupted them and then joined them for the whole day, they all didn’t get time to discuss on the matter, however, Chloe kept her gaze on Abigail to make sure she was doing fine.“Chloe, when will Dylan reach?” Blake paused the movie and asked Chloe, fully knowing how much it will irritate her.Rolling her eyes, Chloe turned her neck to glare at him who was showing off his white teeth, aware of his success.“I am not his secretary so I don’t know when he will be home and close your mouth or else you will lose every tooth beneath your lips” showing him punch of her hand Chloe warned, Blake scoffed at her.“Let us enjoy the movie you too, go out if want to argue” Kimber
Austin was standing in the Balcony of his room, taking small sips from his coffee. He was debating on his thought of whether he should talk to Zoe or not, he knew his parents will not appreciate his act of restricting their daughter life at workplace, he was also not in favor of this but after meeting with Abigail he was worried, the girl was very silent comparing to other girls of her age, even her friends were cheery. He couldn’t let anything happened to his sister, though they were all to remain in front of his eyes, so doing any harm to Zoe was not possible but he couldn’t take risk, he will not repeat the mistake of his father. After fighting with himself for about half an hour, he decided to talk with Zoe, he checked the time in the clock, it was ten past fifteen. “She would be awake” whispering he placed his empty cup on his writing table and opened the door of his room to take lead towards her room which was opposite of his. He knocked the door and waited for her to open.
Lucas parked his car in the porch of the Martin Villa, pulling off the hand break of the car, he rested his head on the back of the car seat, his eyes were closed.“It is not enough we have to work more harder or else we will lose”The last words spoken by the person he had meeting with, were echoing in his ears, he pressed his fingers on his eye lid and run the hand in his hair, griping his locks he looked to his front where Martin Villa was standing with all his pride.A smirk formed on his face, he remembered when the news of his aunt Adele was on every news channel, his family rushed to the point of accident but what they saw was there was no one in the car, they immediately went to near hospitals considering as they were taken there for-prompt treatment but to their dismay they couldn’t find them anywhere.He remembered how painful it was for his grandparents to lose their only daughter, his grandfather contacted every source he had in his power but outcome was none, and one nigh
Austin parked his car in his assigned parking, all the way from Martin’s Villa to City Hospital he has to listen to Ethan's babbling, admiring their interior and getting impressed from the money they have and only thing he could do was to roll his eyes.When they reached to hospital’s parking Austin exhaled content.“Finally,” he whispered.Austin and Ethan slid out of the car and headed towards the main entrance.“New trainees will start from today” Ethan gave the news to his colleague and friend as usual.“I know, Dr. Smith informed me already” Austin nodded at him, hiding the truth that his sister is also among those new trainees.“Every year seeing new trainees joining the hospital and we training them, made me realize that how old I am getting” Ethan said dramatically.Austin rolled his eyes again at his friend, he was worried that at night his eye lids might hurt, and before he would have commented, a nurse came to him and informed him of Dr. Smith waiting for him in his room.“
