Bab 4: The Savior and I.
I rang the doorbell because I didn't want to find my keys. A few seconds later
Juanita opened the door.
"Welcome back ma'am..." She stopped when she saw my wrist but she was
petrified when she saw the cute doctor behind me.
"Relax Juanita am well and this is Doctor..." I looked at him expecting him to
finish my sentence
"Nicholas, Nicholas Jones," he said stretching out a hand to Juanita she took it and
greeted him back "hello sir"
"Juanita he is going to be helping me with my hand so could you please get the
first aid kit for me," I said to Juanita and she looked at me with sad eyes "right
away ma'am" she excused herself
"Come with me to the sitting room" my head was starting to clear out and the
alcohol was starting to fade.
"This is a pretty place you got here pretty miss. By the way, what's your name?" he
said looking around as he walked behind me
"Thanks just look up business tycoons online and my name will pop up first," I
said to him and I saw Juanita return with the living room with the first aid kit
"Thank you, Juanita, now you should go to bed it is late"
"But ma'am...'' she tried to protest but I cut her off.
"It was not a question" she worries a lot. And I love her for that but am really fine.
She nodded and walked away. I pointed to a chair for Doctor Jones to sit on. I sat
on the one next to him. He opened the first aid kit, got the alcohol, and started
cleaning my wounds. It hurt a little but I could not show emotions because he is a
stranger. I winced once or twice but that was it
"You know its ok to tell me it hurts"
"It doesn't hurt at all not even a bit," I said in a monotone
"Tough girl huh? I get it. So why were you out there tonight by yourself? That guy
I hit was he your boyfriend" he is nosy jeez. I just want to relax.
"I have no clue as to who that guy was but for his name. He gave it to me at the bar
I was at. It's none of your concern why I was out or drinking." I looked at my hand,
he had dressed my wound and he was putting a bandage on it. It's going to be a
while before I can use that hand again. His hands are working magic there in swift
painless motions he was done with the bandage.
"Looks like you're all done," I said gently pulling my hand away from him. I
looked at it and tried to flex it and it stung again but I didn't show it.
"You should take some pain relievers tonight if the pain gets worse and if it bleeds
again you should come to the hospital which I doubt it would but just to be safe."
"Thanks again Doctor Jones I'll have my secretary send you a check and a card,'' I
said to him standing up and walking to the door.
"No need for a check anything to help a pretty miss like you and you gave me
some homework to find out your name and I promise to find it and get back to
you," he said as I opened the door
"No need it's not like I'm ever going to see you again but I will send you a thank
you card. You have a good night now Doctor Jones," I said to him in a business
tone.
"I doubt that pretty miss but bye" I smiled and locked my door just then I felt all
the emotions coming back in like a rush. Everything that I was feeling before came
back rushing back as if it was the doctor was the one holding it down. It came
crashing on my heart and I fell on the floor in my living room and cried myself to
sleep. Feeling the pain, feeling hurt, drinking and crying soothed me and helped me
bottle it up and keep it in but I do not know how much longer my bottle can stay
closed.
Falling asleep on the carpet is not a very good idea especially when you have been
crying and drinking. I have to get to work on time. I woke up at 6:30am so I didn't
work out today besides I didn't have the strength. I wore a burgundy work dress
that held all my curves all the way below my knees and a black blazer and my
black stilettos.
I went down for breakfast. By 8:00 am, I was ready for work. I am probably late
for work already and it really bothered me. I am supposed to lead by example and I
am late.
I walked out of the house and Jahid was surprised to see my hand was bandaged
"Good morning Jahid," I said, smiling at him and getting into the car, he nodded.
"Where were you last night Juanita called me and I tried calling you but you
wouldn't respond," he said when he got into the car
"Juan was in town I went to see him" Jahid knows all about my family problems I
trust him that much
"Juan as in your brother Juan? Did he give you that?" he asked worriedly
"No. but he sure had it coming. It's nothing to worry about. I had a doctor look at it
yesterday."
"Wow Chloe you have to be careful," he said with a caring fatherly tone
"Don't worry I'm fine?" I said in a tone that made him know not to ask any more
questions.
We drove the rest of the way in silence. As I got into the office everybody was
quite just how I liked it. I went straight into my office and some people couldn't
help but stare. A few minutes later, I heard a knock on my door
"Come in," I said seriously
"Good morning ma'am," Mrs. Michelson walked in holding her tablet in her hands.
"You have a couple of meetings today and the first one is in a few minutes with
Mr. Juan Costa," she said to me and I was taken aback.
"Juan Costa?" I asked
"Yes ma'am"
"When was this appointment set?"
"Yesterday morning ma'am"
"Well I don't want to see him," I said looking up at her for the first time
"That will be a little difficult ma'am because he is already here"
"Well tell him I'm busy or something"
"Yes miss." she walked out of my office and I started working 30 minutes into my
work. Hear voices shouting just right outside my door. Who the hell?
"I need to see her. Get the fuck away from me." I heard Juan's voice race
throughout the office.
"You can't be here sir. The boss doesn't want to see you." Probably security saying.
For goodness sakes, he is just one man why can't they get him out of here. I walk
out of my office into the hall where all this commotion is taking place. As people
notice my presence, it gets quiet
"Finally you're here can you call off your security." Juan said looking pissed. I roll
my eyes at him. I don't even want to see him.
"Shut up Juan," I said to him in a very serious tone. Then I turned to the security
"All of you are worthless, he is just one man and three of you couldn't drag him out
of here? Pathetic. Leave now I will handle him.''
"We are so sorry ma'am but he was..." one of the guards tried to explain.
I raised my hand stopping them, "I need no excuses leave now", they nodded and
left then I turned to the employees that were disturbed due to this "As you were," I
said to them then looked at Juan and tilted my head towards my office, I walked
away, and he followed me.
