“I am not too busy for you, Lily,” Tony said as he stared into her big blue eyes. He meant every word he said and hoped Lily knew that. Lily’s heart raced as those words left Tony’s mouth. She could see the sincerity in his eyes as he spoke. She was about to give him a reply when they heard Rachael’s voice from downstairs. “Daisy’s home!” She screamed happily.Lily stepped away from Tony and smiled apologetically before meeting Rachael and her daughter.Tony shook his head and laughed as he saw her run off. He knew she used that as an excuse to avoid the awkward situation. Lily saw Rachael heading upstairs with a young girl who seemed to be around seven years old and hurried to meet them.Lily loved children more than anything. At the hospital, she always volunteered to care for the children’s ward because she got to spend time with them.“Hey, Lily!” Rachael squealed and giggled like a child. “I told Daisy about you, and she couldn’t wait to meet you.” She confessed, and Daisy no
After breakfast, Rachael pulled Lily back into the room, telling Tony she needed to prepare for the outing. "Will you tell me where he's taking me?" Lily asked once they were in the room, and Rachael smiled apologetically. "I would if I had an idea but, my brother won't tell me. He knows I'll tell you if he does." Rachael replied and Lily pouted sadly. "Come on now. Let's not keep the man waiting." Rachael said, pushing her into the closet so she could get out of her clothes. When Lily returned to the room, Rachael had already laid up her makeup products on the dressing table. "No, no. Rachael, please. I'm not wearing makeup. It'll give him the wrong idea." Lily shook her head and chuckled awkwardly. "I'm just going to go with a light makeup, Lily. It's a 'No makeup' makeup." Rachael explained and begged with a smile. Lily sighed defeatedly and nodded. "Fine." She agreed, and Rachael immediately got to work. Since Lily was a beauty, she didn't have much to do on her fac
Throughout the car ride, Lily kept her eyes focused on the road. She didn't want Tony to see how red her cheeks were.'I should have applied some foundation like Rachael suggested.' She thought and almost hissed out loud."Alright, Lily. This is our first stop." Tony announced as he pulled up in front of a boutique. Not just any Boutique, It was one of the most prominent boutiques in Paris, Dumont Couture, owned by a famous French man, Leon Dumont,Lily tilted her head to the side to view the building from the car, and her mouth dropped to the ground.Everyone in Paris knew Dumont Couture, but only a few had been inside. That was because they only sold expensive items, 'overly expensive' as Lily liked to call them."Come on, Lily. Let's go in." Tony said and helped her out of her seat. As they walked in, Lily wasn't surprised that he was well-known. She figured he was already a regular customer.Lily wanted to object to shopping at a place like this since there were cheaper opti
Rachael was in the living room with her daughter, Daisy when she heard Tony’s car drive in. She checked her time and saw that it was still six in the evening. “Why are they back so early?” She wondered. Earlier in the day, Tony had let her know that he would be taking Lily to see a movie at night and even asked her for recommendations so, she was shocked to see that they had returned already. A few minutes later, the door opened and Lily walked in with Tony by her side. “Uncle Tony!” Daisy screamed and ran to welcome him with a hug while Rachael made her way towards them. As she neared them, she noticed that Lily’s countenance was down which was unlike her, especially after a date. She quietly walked to Lily’s side, held her hands, and led her upstairs to her room. Lily’s eyes were swollen like she had been crying and her body was tense. Worry immediately filled Rachael and she now wanted to know what had happened during the date. “What’s wrong, Lily? What happened?” Rachael
Lily bit her lips nervously and pretended not to hear anything. She took out her work uniform from the locker and was about to go into the bathroom to change when one of them grabbed her hand and stopped her.“I don't know what Dr Martinez sees in you, to be honest. I can bet he's just messing with you since you are so cheap.” The same girl said, trying to get a response from Lily.“You can't even deny the accusations. They must be true then.” Another said and they all laughed.“Can I go now?” Lily said and pulled her hand away before walking away. She owed them no explanation and she wasn't going to entertain them either. She and Tony knew the truth and that was all that mattered.The nurses laughed at her behavior and walked away. They were convinced that she was being that way because of her relationship with the CEO.Lily changed into her uniform and went back to her desk, ignoring the glares from some of the other nurses. She lowered her head and impatiently waited for her shift
"Not her, Man. She's off limits." Tony warned, throwing a harsh glare at his friend."Look, I understand that you said no sneaky activities at work so, I'll get to know her outside the hospital. That will be okay, right?" Raphael said with a grin and Tony rolled his eyes."No! Do that with someone else. Not Lily. She's off limits to you and every other person in this hospital." Tony replied and Raphael squinted his eyes at him. Then, it finally clicked in his head."Wait! Are you and Lily a thing? Is that why you are being like this?" Raphael asked, trying his best to not laugh.Tony was tongue-tied. He couldn't say they were a thing because they weren't but he wanted them to be a thing deep down. He knew he had no right to push other men away from her but he was still going to do it. Lily was his as far as he was concerned."Not yet." He came up with the most suitable reply he could find. Immediately he said it, Raphael's eyes widened and his jaw dropped to the ground."You lik
Since Tony’s office was on the last floor, he had no idea what was going on with Lily. Some of the doctors who weren't on duty had been informed and Lily was summoned by Dr Harrison who had been informed of the chaos that happened at the caféteria. By now, Manuel was already long gone and on his way to rile Louis up.8:Lily had no regrets for what she had done. As a matter of fact, she was happy with what she had done. She didn’t think she would ever be able to stand up for herself, especially to Manuel and Louis but she did and she was proud of herself for doing so even though it might get her punished.Lily placed a knock on the doctor's door and went in. Surprisingly, Dr Raphael was also in the office but he seemed to be on his way out. As he walked to the door, he stopped and smiled at Lily.“Are you alright?” He asked. He had just heard about what happened at the caféteria from Dr Harrison and he felt bad for Lily. According to the nurse who was at the cafeteria, Lily was only d
Manuel was thrown out of the hospital by the security guards and warned never to return. Out of anger, he took a taxi and headed to Louis's house. “What are you doing here, man?” Louis asked as he opened the door and led a fuming Manuel in. “Is there a reason you’re huffing and puffing? What happened?” Louis asked. “That fucking girlfriend of yours…she humiliated me and had me thrown out of her workplace. I'm sure she was only able to do that because she is fucking the owner and everyone in the hospital knows about it!” He yelled, shaking his head angrily. “Why the fuck were you even at Lily’s workplace?” Louis asked with a twisted look. “I wanted to talk to her and get her to return. You know her being out there is a threat to us. She knows every fucking thing.” Manuel said with hooded eyes and Louis sighed loudly. “The moment she opens her mouth we will all be dead. You know Draco will never spare us if the secret gets leaked because of us. Being your friend has brought m
