Joanna walked over to him. It was then Damien noticed her. He smiled immediately as she walked over to him. “On a break?” He askedJoanna would have been fooled if she had not stood there long enough watching him. He knew how to conceal his emotions and sometimes she wondered why he did that. She stood staring at him as she nodded.Damien smiled. “That’s good” before resuming his work, glancing at Joanna who stood like a statue at his side“Are you okay?” She asked himDamien took some time before nodding with a hum. “I’m fine,” he said“Why do you like it when I request that you tell me a couple of times before you do?”He paused and glanced at her with a confused look before resuming his job. “I don't really know what you are saying”“You look gloomy,” she said then had to add “Or you looked gloomy. Now, you are smiling like nothing is wrong”“Because nothing is wrong” he chuckled“You’re lying. I thought we've built trust here”“And we have” Damien stared at her for a minute before

Damien was taken aback by her response to him. For a few seconds, he stared at her in surprise. Sadness flicked in his eyes for a couple of minutes. It was not something he expected. For days now, he has been feeling gloomy, and this only makes his heart squeeze even more.Without saying anything, he turned around and walked towards the door. Not until Damien turned around did Joanna realize what she had done. She opened her mouth to speak, but Damien had already walked out of the room.She knew she should not have said that to him. It was wrong. She transferred the aggression meant for someone else to him, and she knew how that hurt. Worse, she knew what he had been going through. He was not meant to be the way he was. Love took him down the ladder and, unlike others, he is trying to see if he can work.She messed up, and she did not need anyone to tell her about it. He was only trying to help. With a sigh, she plopped her back on the backrest of the chair she was seated on, driving

The night went by quickly, with Joanna falling asleep on her chair. Damien had to carry her to her bed while she wrapped her hands around him while relaxing her head on his chest. This gesture made Damien’s heart flutter, wanting him to confess his feelings to her.While he laid her down on the bed, he told himself he would try to ensure she never fell asleep anywhere that was not her bed, so he would take her to her room while carrying her. He knew confessing to her was bad, as he was nothing but a mere employee of hers.Moreover, he did not have the funds to be able to give her the life she truly deserves. She was a beauty and he could already guess that she grew up in affluence. He could not think of a time when she looked as though she did not have money.It would be wrong to be working for her and still be harbouring such feelings for her. He could not leave her bed after lying down. His eyes kept on her, admiring how peaceful she was sleeping and resting. He adjusted some loose

Damien knew if Sarah kept on, Joanna would be forced to agree to the plan when she did not want to do it. Those friends of hers needed to stay several miles away from Joanna. Just the thought of them hurting her again was making him upset.He wanted to set them straight, most especially that man called Phil. He was a disgrace to all men out there. Just because he did not have his way, he wanted to pressure her by turning everyone against her. Damien hopes and prays that they do not cross paths again because if they do, Phil is certainly not going to like what he would do to him. He would make sure he breaks every bone in his jaws to ensure he does not try to make problems for Joanna ever again. Luckily, he came on time for this conversation. Joanna clearly did not want to go. The last event had messed her up, and she was not ready to stand another of their bad words again. She had not healed from the last, and Sarah was already trying to make her go back. Damien knew that Sarah was

Damien got into the pharmacy and almost immediately, his number was called. He got to the counter and his order was given to him, after which, he paid for it and walked out of there. He was glad to have been able to leave as quickly as he came.He got back to Joanna's ward and she was surprised to see him back early. “Well, I'm glad you didn't miss your number,” she told him, sounding a bit betterHe helped her take her drugs according to how the doctor prescribed them for her then she fell asleep. A different doctor came in to check on her as the other doctor was done with her shift. After checking on her, the doctor informed Damien that they needed to run another test as she was still running a temperature and that meant they would have to stay in the hospital until the test result came out.Joanna did not like this idea and tried to speak but Damien held her arm, stopping her. “It’s okay, Doc. But how long will the result take?” He asked “A day” the doctor replied and Damien was h
