SANDRAI couldn't even stand up because his statement made my legs wobble. I realized that I could stop him, I pressed my table bell and the nurse entered. "Please, stop that young man that just left my office, it's urgent." She rushed out to stop him. I picked up the card to go through it but she returned. "Ma'am, I can't find anybody outside. What about his car?" "I don't know which car he came with." I stood up immediately and ran outside to see if I could stop him but I saw his car moving out already. I was in pain and bitter. I walked back to my office. "Dr Sandra, is there any problem? Did you make a mistake?" "He is not a patient." I waved my hand and dismissed her. I hit my fist on the table. I wondered why I was this arrogant. At least I should have given him listening ears to hear him out and maybe if it wasn't pleasing to my ears, then I can dismiss him. Oh no! I have really messed up. Does this mean that the population I am receiving daily in my clinic will reduc
SANDRA He smiled. “I once followed you from the mall. The day I came to your office. I learnt you are the owner of the clinic, am I right?" "Absolutely correct. So you made mention of the increase in population, the last time we met and I needed to know why you said so." Armando, sipped his drink. "I visited this city last month and it happened that I needed to check all the organs in my body because I haven't done that before but because I have the money now, I chose to do it." "I went to a certain hospital but the equipment wasn't enough. I was directed to this place. Eventually I decided to try my best and damn! That was so good. When I got back to base, I had to create an awareness because I know several people that wanted to have such an experience. That was how they came, liked the service rendered to them and they began to spread the news. People now come from far away just to receive treatment." I was shocked. I don't think I was in the clinic the day he came, or maybe
SANDRAI gradually dressed up for the date even though I wasn't sure of what I was going there for. My mom saw me and asked where I was going that night. "I am going on a date with Damien," I said, putting on my wrist watch.."Date with Damien? Have you forgotten that he is married?" "Mom, I am aware but I just saw his message and I don't have to turn it down. Let me go and hear what he has to say.""Really? He would have come over to this place if it was important, and not to invite you to a hotel that suits him." I breathed deeply, "I understand you mom, but allow me to honor this invitation just this once." "If you say so, but you have to be very careful of what you do. I don't have much to say," she said, and stepped back to her room. I smiled because I know my mother to be very dramatic. I really understand how worried she can be but I have no option now. I drove down to the place. I haven't been there but when I saw the magnificent building, I was wowed. The light shining
DAMIENGosh! I felt so irritated by what Clara did. How did she locate me? What kind of scattered plan was that? I drove home with so much regret. It was not my expectation at all. I expected that Sandra would have helped me out because of what I was about telling her. I still can't believe that Clara could do such a thing like that. Why would she arrange with a waitress to pour red wine on Sandra which has ruined her dress. I still can't explain that behavior. I got home and I met Clara at home. She was looking so calm as if she never did anything. I stood for some minutes, staring at her and didn't even know what to tell her. I entered my room without saying a word to her. I called Sandra but she wasn't picking up my calls. I sent her a message apologizing for what happened earlier and the reason for the date was because of my father. This new lifestyle that he is now living is something terrible that I can't explain. I don't know if he is planning on stopping the habit. It h
SANDRAI have attended to a lot of patients and I don't think another will enter this office. Let me take a look at what the package is all about. I was thinking it was from Armando, but since the messenger said it was from a patient that I once treated, let me check. I started opening the package till I saw a white material, I became curious and almost used my teeth to open it. The difficulty in opening the package made me look for scissors inside my drawer. I cut off some places and brought the item out. I spread it with my both hands and I was shocked to see the exact dress that I wore to see Damien. Hmm, a patient I once treated? Are you sure it wasn't the wife that bought this because she was my patient then. No, she can't afford this. I am sure it was Damien. The price tag was still on the dress and it was far more expensive than what I got it for. I felt so emotional. Damien went a long way just to apologize for what happened. I am really speechless. Although, I was happ
SANDRA My mother was rubbing her back because she was sobbing quietly. "But, I am not a bright student." "Says who?" "My classmates." "Did your teacher say something like that?" She shook her head negatively. I now understood that the fear was because of her fellow age mates. "Susan, I don't want you to be scared again. You are going to a new school and from now henceforth, I will pose as your elder sister so that they wouldn't notice anything. The respect will be there, okay?" Susan nodded and cleaned her tears. I really felt her fears because I have been there before. I know what it means when children of the rich and the wealthy bully the poor ones. It is very intimidating. That evening, I told my mother to follow me to the room that I wanted to show her something. I brought out the dress and showed her, "this is what I received today in the office." She collected it from me and observed it. "From who?" "Damien Flores." She widened her eyes, "Damien? Why? What for? Bu
ARMANDOI had a very hectic day at work. I decided to have a branch in Vegas just for the expansion of my company. I am making more investments because of the future. I have had such plans before but I was waiting for the right time to execute it. Now that work is in progress, I also need to use the opportunity to get a woman for myself. I have mourned my ex girlfriend enough. It is time to move on. Something about Sandra tickles my fantasy. I don't know if it is love or just infatuation. That is why I am not pushing any further till I find out. The young lady has done well for herself and I am super proud of her. In as much as she didn't tell me much about herself, I have asked questions and come to realize that she does not only have a hospital for the sick, but also an eatery, not just one but two branches managed by her mother. I also learnt that she was once Damien's ex-girlfriend but what I don't know is why it didn't work out for them because I need to find out before I v
ARMANDO "You mean the man with that lady in a green silky gown?" She pointed. "Exactly!" "That is the President General of the MGM film production company." "Huh? That's massive." She nodded her head. "Do you know his name?" "General Roger Moore." "Thank you." I observed them for a while before I left the scene. I was inside my car, trying to think of how they got to know each other. Sandra has really gone places, if actually she has met big top people like this. If she can just sit down with such a man just to eat and discuss, then I am not half of her standard. I feel intimidated now and I have lost the power or even the voice to talk to her. Maybe, I just have to be at the back and watch them. Maybe they have been in a relationship which I don't know about. But, I remembered that I asked her and she told me that she wasn't into anyone. Was she lying? I put my car to life and sped back to my lodge. I wasn't happy but at the same time, I was confused. I got back to my r
