Damien quickly texted back that he would be meeting him in the evening before he turned off his phone and faced the president."We will be running a few tests in association with your constant headaches. The result would be out soon," he said to him and stood up to leave but the president called him back."Why don't we talk?" He asked and looked at Linda who knew what he was talking about.She excused herself and the other doctors left too, leaving just the two of them.The president let out a deep breath and looked heavenward. "I know what is wrong with me. That is not the only symptom," he confessed and the smile on his face vanished. "There is no need to run a test."Damien sat down beside him and watched as he kept struggling to smile but couldn't. He looked sad and downcasted.He went on, "The election is fast approaching and soon enough, this country would have a new president. I have used up my tenure and over these years, I can't say I am proud."Damien stared at him intently

"We would like to partner with your hospital," Mr Gerald answered.The Crown conglomerate, the biggest in the country, only partners with large establishments and never looks at growing businesses or smaller ones.William's Hospital was newly built, and it was still growing even though it had shown a huge success from the beginning because of the large number of patients that came in.Damien read through the proposal again and finally took his eyes to Mr Gerald who was waiting eagerly."This is a big one," he said truthfully. "I would love to think about it and give you feedback soon."Even though it was a big opportunity for him, he had heard so many stories about big organizations taking advantage of smaller ones until they finally ruined the business."Alright. You can go and think about it but I will be hoping for a positive reply," Mr Gerald answered and just then, their ordered meal was brought to the table. "This will be a huge opportunity for us as we would be partnering with

Bianca dialed his number and placed the phone on her ear, but the line got disconnected.She laughed and brought down the phone. "Now he blocked me. He hates me and I deserve it," she muttered and stood up. Picking up her purse, she staggered out of the bar. …Damien walked into the Crown conglomerate with Eric trailing behind him. He had his eyes drawn trying to remember the important file they had forgotten. It suddenly crossed his mind and he covered up the space between them. "Sir, I think we forgot the financial contract document."Damien stopped and looked at the file Eric was holding, "Shoot, I cross-checked it but didn't notice it."Eric had offered to cross-check the documents to make sure they were complete, but Damien insisted. Since it was his first day working with him, he wanted to do it by himself. "I will go get it," Eric offered and Damien nodded in agreement. He handed the documents to him and left. Damien let in a deep breath, glad Eric was with him. How could

Mr Gerald looked at the young receptionist, Davis, who was still in a daze. "How long has our guest been here? You should have taken him to the president's office immediately.""I…I don't…I had no idea… who he was," he stammered. Mr Gerald puckered his brows and faced him, "What do you mean you had no idea who he is?" He asked and pointed at the computer before him, "We have an appointment with him. He is the most important person in our meeting, who we have been waiting for.""I apologize, sir. He wasn't on the list of people having an appointment with you," Davis answered with his head lowered, not daring to look at his boss. "He has an appointment with Mr Crown himself. He is the only person having an appointment with him today," Mr Gerald answered, getting annoyed by his reception foolishness. He turned and faced his secretary who had been standing behind him. "Didn't I tell you about this?""I did tell Mr Davis about Dr Damien Williams coming here today. He must have been distr

Damien stared at the young man who looked genuinely sorry. He walked closer to him and made him straighten up. "I don't hold anything against you," he answered, much to Davis's relief. "Thank you, sir. Have a safe trip back," he politely said, having a huge respect for Damien.He had seen many clients or guests, being indifferent to the staff, and most times, the staff gets fired for something that wasn't their fault. But in his case, it was his fault for not recognizing Damien, but the doctor wasn't mad at him. "Mr Gerald wants to see you," Davis flinched at the voice behind him and when he turned, he breathed in relief. The secretary, who had made the mistake was standing before him, avoiding eye contact even though she was trying to act neutral. Without saying a word to her, he went back in and headed to the CEO's office."Did you know what you did today? Did you know what it would have cost us if Dr Damien had left?" Mr Gerald questioned, with fury lacing his tone. Davis lowe

"The deal is now official. Congratulations to us," Mr Crown said, handing his signed document to his son standing behind him while Damien handed his signed document to Eric."I will be looking forward to working with you," he said and stood up to shake his hand.Mr Crown sat down back and crossed his legs, "Do you mind staying for tea?"Damien clicked his tongue and answered, "I do have a place I need to go to.""Too bad. Why don't we do this some other time and talk," he suggested to which Damien nodded. He wanted to stay behind but he had to see Mr Benson.It was a bit difficult to get the man to agree to the meeting, and because of that, he wanted to work calmly and carefully with him. According to Eleanor, he was an ill-tempered man."Alright, I would love to. But for now, I have to go."Mr Crown nodded and said nothing else. Besides, he wanted to celebrate getting in partnership with Williams Hospital.Damien left the Crown's group with Eric walking behind him. Eric took the driv

Damien furrowed his brows at the sudden request of Mr Benson. A diagnosis? That wouldn't be hard to do, but why should that be a determinant to accept his offer or destroy his hospital forever?Seeing he wasn't saying a word, Mr Benson laughed and pressed back. "I knew it. You are just like every other doctor out there and you don't have any supernatural powers. I thought you would be able to diagnose me by just staring at me, but that's impossible." He laughed at himself for even thinking so."Are you going to accept my offer if I can diagnose what is wrong with you by looking at you?" Damien asked, using the man's trick against him.Mr Benson stared at him for a few seconds, wondering what he was up to. Could it be he would be able to diagnose him? He wondered but shook his head in disagreement.There was no way it would be possible, he thought and drew forward. "You are to make an accurate diagnosis in ten minutes."Damien nodded and drew closer to him, staring at his eyes intently

Damien walked out of his bathroom with water dropping from his half-naked body and a towel dropped around his waist.His eyes fell on the documents on his bed and he felt a sense of victory flowed through his body, igniting a spark in him.Just as Mr Benson said, he signed the deal with him before he went back to Africa. The Williams Hospital would be expanded beyond his imagination.He picked up his phone and quickly dialed Eleanor's number. She picked up after the third ring."Dr Damien, it's been a while," her melodic voice came on, and the smile enveloping Damien's face widened.It's been three weeks since she left the country and she had no plans on returning soon."Yes, it has. At this point, I guess you might relocate there," he said to tease her and she laughed out loud."I thought about that. I do need a break from the south. Not just a break but a long break. Besides, this country is so beautiful. I planned on staying longer after my business here is done," she answered and

Damien glanced at Bianca who was staring at him in curiosity. He looked at Eric and said, "Let's talk in my office. Go there, I will be right behind you."Eric left, leaving them alone. "You should go. It seems it's an important report he has for you," she said, forcing a smile. "I came to check up on Regina which I will be doing first."She nodded and moved away for him to go in. Immediately he did, she let out a deep breath to calm her nerves and gulped down nervously. She turned and averted her gaze to Damien who was speaking to Regina's doctor. Regina was sedated, which was a relief to them as she would have caused a ruckus seeing Damien in the room. Damien collected her record from the doctor and glanced through it. There were big improvements in her health but she had to stay longer in the hospital for further observation until she was fine."Just keep on with her medication. We will observe her for more days," he instructed the doctor who nodded and collected the record fro

Charlotte stared at the message, contemplating whether to send it or not. "Damien hates this scandal and he won't be happy with me if I post this," she muttered to herself and clicked her tongue. "I can't do anything rash," she added"Charlotte, what are you doing talking to yourself?" Her grandfather asked, walking to the table. She nervously turned off the phone and put it down. "Nothing Father. I was just about to eat," she answered and stood up to go help him to the table "What are you doing here? I thought you had eaten.""I have. I just came here to get water," he answered and went to sit down. Charlotte smiled and sat beside him. "You will get it soon." While her grandfather got busy talking to the Butler, she picked up her phone to wipe off what she typed but she gasped out loud and the phone fell from her hand. She had posted it online by mistake. …Eric opened the door to Damien's office and walked in. "Sir, you called for me," he said with his head bowed slightly. Dami

"This is unbelievable," Eleanor spoke from the other end and even though she tried to act all serious and shocked, Damien heard the amusement resonating from her voice. "How could this have escalated like this? You and Charlotte could have worked on something," she added and Damien was sure he heard her laugh a little, but she tried to hide it by clearing her throat. "This is not funny, Eleanor," he said and she lost the control she had and laughed out loud. "This is not funny, but this is crazy," she said in between laughs. "You and Charlotte? That is not a match made in heaven.""I know. This scandal is making rounds on the internet and everyone is talking.""Yes. I read through some mean comments. Probably obsessed fans of Charlotte and your obsessed fans too. It is causing an uproar."Damien let out a deep breath and rested his back against his office desk. An hour ago, Immediately after he read the latest update concerning him and Charlotte, he got an emergency call from the ho

Damien stared at her perplexed. She had a neutral look on her face as if she never said a word.She lifted her brows, staring at him inquisitively. "Why are you staring at me like that?""You just said, 'just like you'," he repeated what she said and she drew her brows together in confusion."When did I say that? Are you sure you aren't hearing things?" She questioned, staring at him in amusement. She poured the whiskey into her glass and brought it to her mouth.Damien knitted his brows together. He was sure he heard her. Why was she denying what she said? He wondered as he watched her take a sip of whiskey.She sucked her teeth and looked at him. "You are right, this is good and hot."He nodded in agreement and decided to pretend he never heard her call him hot. He sat on the couch facing her and rested back on the seat. "Anyway, we should talk about the scandal.""Why are you so bothered about this scandal? Why don't we just let it be?" The room became silent with the both of the

Charlotte rolled on her bed, smiling sheepishly as she scrolled down the comments section. She tapped on a comment and after reading it, she laughed out loud. "Even though this is fake news, these fans are crazy," she muttered and zoomed Damien's picture, getting his face to come into full view. "Are we a match?" She clicked her tongue and stood up. Standing by the mirror, she looked at her reflection and looked back at Damien's picture. "We do look good together. A man as handsome as Damien and a woman as beautiful as me. The perfect couple," she said and winked at her reflection. While admiring her reflection, her phone rang distracting her. She frowned but when she saw the name on her phone, a smile played on her face.She cleared her throat and placed the phone on her ear, "Hello.""Hello Charlotte, we need to talk," Damien said, going straight to the point. She twisted her lips and went to sit on the bed. "Let me guess, it's about the scandal. You want to come up with a solut

Damien's eyes went around, looking at his image on the TV screen while dumbstruck. Dating? 'I am not daring Charlotte,' he wanted to scream out but his words would fall on deaf ears. Everyone in the restaurant had their eyes and ears on the TV, as his name had been mentioned. He averted his gaze to Bianca and saw her watching the news with her eyes widened. 'This news was confirmed to be true after they were spotted being intimate at a restaurant. The clip has been making rounds on the internet. Would they be the couple of the century?' The news went on.Damien fisted his hand in disbelief. Everyone in the restaurant was talking about it, not knowing he was there with them. "The youngest daughter? I thought he would end up with the oldest daughter because they seemed pretty close," he heard a man say."I thought that too, but we never can know the ways of men. He has always loved the youngest and the first was just a friend or business partner," another man seconded. "They are so

Damien's eyes widened at the lawyer's revelation. He remembered what Regina said about telling Bianca not to submit the divorce papers, and he put himself on a fix. It's either Regina told her not to submit it or she did on her own.He let out a loud inhale and fixed his eyes on nothing as he dived into deep thoughts. Regina hates him so much and has always wanted him to leave the family. Getting divorced was a huge relief for her. There was no way she was going to tell Bianca not to submit the divorce paper. She was lying as she always does. "The Calloway's always have a way of putting me in a fix," he muttered and clicked his tongue. His phone beeped and when he saw the name popping on his screen, he hesitated to pick it up. It was Bianca calling. Knowing she was still his wife changed everything for him. He watched the phone ring until it stopped. Letting out a deep breath, he looked away but almost immediately, his phone started ringing again and it was still Bianca calling.

Damien stared at Bianca as Regina's words repeated in his head. Was he truly living a dream? If Bianca didn't submit the divorce, that meant they were still married. He knew Regina would do anything to rile him up, and that made him have a second thought about it. Bianca drew her brows together, in wonder at why they were both staring at her. She glanced at Regina for a second and averted her gaze back to Damien. "What is going on?" She questioned but got no reply. "Damien, what did Regina say to you?" "Why did you think I would say anything to him? He is not that important to me to start a conversation," Regina grumbled. Bianca shot her a glare and wanted to shut her up but Damien spoke first. "I have some patients to attend to."She nodded at him and moved aside. Damien walked out of the room with one question in his head. 'Why didn't she submit the document?'Was she planning to submit it later after being too busy to submit it? So many questions and thoughts, and he got distr

She walked closer and covered a large space between them. She examined him from head to toe and smirked. "Not bad. You changed a lot and I almost did not recognize you. You disappeared after receiving so much help from my grandfather, just to enjoy it all," she accused.Damien drew his brows. He tried to take a step closer but she held up her hand and stopped him. "Don't come closer!"Damien became confused and tried to find out what was going on as she looked so pissed off. He tried going closer but with each step he took, she stepped back. She suddenly laughed out, pointing at his face. "I got you so good. See how confused you look.""I am confused," he said, and she let out a deep breath and walked closer. "I was only playing a prank on you to pretend to be angry but not really. It's so good you fell," she jumped and clapped her hands like a little child who got the snacks she always wanted. He laughed and shook his head, understanding what the prank was about. "Anyway, what a
