“Do you have to quarrel with your husband almost every day?” Zoey asked politely, trying not to raise any suspicion as she placed a coffee on Stella’s desk before sitting down. “If only you know how he annoys me.” Stella scoffed in annoyance. “I don’t know why my mother is still keeping him, as for me, I want a divorce.” she rolled her eyes after speaking with a voice filled with disdain. “You shouldn’t act like this, Stella. He is your husband.” Zoey said. She didn’t know when those words escaped from her mouth and just as she knew, it angered her friend. “Wait, are you in love with my husband?” Stella stared at Zoey intently. “What? Never. I have pride, you know.” she rattled out mischievously because she knew what Stella would do if she found out about her lustful desires for her husband.“Then, why are you defending him?” She raised her brow anxiously, she had no plans of taking the matter lightly. “Because he looks so pitiful.” She lied. “Better be. Anyways, do you have a
“Sudden board meeting?” Stella stared at her assistant nurse in astonishment.“He is going farther than I expected.” She slapped the file on her desk and stormed out of her office.“Mr. Richester is making changes in this hospital since he stepped up as our Chief Executive Officer.” One of the nurses gossiped as she relaxed on the receptionist counter.“What do you expect? But I still think he’s a lackey. Mrs. Stella still has him under her feet.” another nurse joined in the conversation.“I even heard he called for a board meeting without her permission. What do you think will happen there?” the first nurse that started the conversation asked anxiously.“We won’t know. We can only ask our doctors when they return.” the other doctor sighed.“Anyways, I have a patient to check up on. Let’s chat later.” The nurses dispersed, leaving in different directions.The board room was filled with staff in their ranking, from the medical doctors, to managers and senior doctors, they wondered betw
“[System Reactivating in 3% … 10% … 20%… 40%….]” the computerized voice continued loading in his head, his eyes tightly closed.“[User’s Level: 2, User’s Gift: None, User’s Skill: 20%, User’s Rank: Amateur]” It said,“[Backed up, Punishment Hours Complete!]” As soon as the voice said conclusively, Richester’s eyes opened.“What… the…” He muttered in pain trying to guess his current location.His head was aching and his stomach hurt more than usual, the system has automatically reformatted him. The bedroom door opened as Raymond rushed in holding a tray that contained tablets and a glass of water.“Boss.” Raymond exclaimed with a voice filled with excitement as he sat beside Richester on the bed.“Are you feeling alright?” He asked anxiously, placing a hand on his forehead.“I think I’m good. What happened to me?” He asked while scanning the entire room.The last thing he remembered was failing to fire his wife in the board meeting, Raymond exhaled sharply.“You mean, you don’t remembe
His face was demarcated by the facial mask and medical glass that he wore."Let me have the antiseptic." The assistant nurse passed him the small bottle. He dropped the liquid twice on the patient's left eyes."Q-tip!" He required it and the nurse searched for it. "Prepare the injection." He instructed while taking the Q-tip from the nurse.His hands were swift as he began the eye cataract surgery with no hesitation, the interns, nurses and assistant nurse stopped their criticism when they noticed that he was serious and was working towards a progressive angle."Expander." He said with his attention focused on the patient's eye that was widely open. "Scalpel." He continued requesting for surgical tools and the nurses were responding faster."Let me have the probe and prepare the IOL injector." The nurses were stunned to the core at his swiftness and neat workspace.He doesn't look like an amateur to them.Stella sighed heavily as she paced around the hospital lobby, she wanted to see
His leg started moving and his eyes glancing everywhere, automatically, he began to see the lustful desires of everyone that was present.He walked away from Stella over to an intern, whose eyes were restless. He wasn’t able to control himself since he was on the move to accomplish a mission that will bring glory to him.He grabbed her neck softly, the intern bit her lips having no ability to protest.“What are you doing?” Even her words had no power, she just said it out of sly self defense.“What are you doing?” Stella was provoked, she was already having a raw imagination of what her husband wanted to do but she knew he wouldn’t do it before her.“Why must it be any woman when my crush is here?” He battled with his feelings inwardly as he pulled the intern closer to him. She wrapped her hand across his waist, that was also what she wanted.Based on the system algorithm and reading, she was the only one that had lustful thinking and suitable to be used.Their lips connected and he k
“What does the X-ray show?” Richester asked the nurse that he had appointed to scan Zoey's father in order to know his condition. The nurse passed the clipboard to him. “According to the x-ray, it’s Quadriplegia / tetraplegia and Paraplegia.” The nurse informed him professionally and Zoey gasped as a result of fear. “What’s that? Is my father going to die?” Zoey questioned impatiently with her eyes rolling around the hospital room. The defibrillation was making light sounds in the room with the Ventilator connected to her father’s nostril, giving him enough chance for good breathing. Richester had Stethoscope across his neck as he approached Zoey's father's bed. “Patient’s name.” He asked, checking his pulse with his hand. “Mr. Patrick.” The nurse informed him and he faced Zoey. “Mr. Patrick has spinal cord disorder because of the accident which might lead to paralysis. He needs to undergo surgery immediately.” He informed her with certainty filled in his voice. “So, how can it
“Your father will wake up in an hour, the surgery was successful.” The nurse informed Zoey politely. “Doctor Richester wants you in his office for further information and guides.” The nurse said as she checked the defibrillation to see if his condition was stable before leaving the room. “Dad --” Zoey sat beside her father on the chair and it clanked, she placed a hand on his face. “I’m so happy that you’re fine now.” She smiled, speaking through her sniffle. Her father’s eyes were tightly closed. Richester closed the file and his office door pulled open. “Sir --” Zoey stepped into his office, he shoved the files aside and showed her where to sit. He was so excited inwardly, he had been hoping to have a one on one time with her but it was inevitable. Having to give her a close look and speak with her without interruption was a dream come true for him. “About your father--” He began but she interrupted him. “Thank you very much for saving my father, Rich.” She said with a voice f
“I know you have gotten to some classes but do you now come to places like this?” Stella scoffed in surprise.“Who brought you here? This is not a place for slum men.” She spat at his face disrespectfully.“Have you started again? I’m reserving my comment because today is a good day and I have a date.” He said boldly.“A date?” Stella laughed. “You? Who would go out with you?” Stella questioned disgustingly as she rolled her eyes all over him.“Mr. Richester or whatever you call yourself, you have no reservation here.” The receptionist began. “Please leave before I call the security.” She said conclusively.Stella couldn’t help but laugh as she pompously placed her debit card on the counter.“What is going on here?” A voice came from behind them and each step that the woman took, the sound of her heels could be heard. They turned.“Boss.” The receptionist bowed courteously while trembling.“I asked a question, didn’t I?” The woman made a comeback.Richester had to steal a glance from
