Lucas suddenly went cold at the mention of Alex’s name and that quickly made him remember how they were very close before the incident of him and Mason transpired. He tried picturing all what happened during that day but it’s quite unfortunate that he was unable to vividly remember everything that transpired on that particular day. His eyes were fixated on the wall as thoughts about it for some minutes without giving James a positive response. James snapped his fingers across Lucas's face to be sure he was right there with him and if he had the question he asked him earlier, “Bro what's up with you? Why did you suddenly go silent when I asked for the whereabouts of Alex?” Lucas heaved a deep sigh of relief as he struggled to bring his legs off from the bed to the floor without saying a word. The only sound that was being heard at that moment was the sound of his endless breath.“Do you want me to help you with that?” James asked him as he reached for his legs.“Never mind! I can
The receptionist's office where everyone was gathered started getting intense as every one of them began to clock eyes with each other.The young assistant secretary dragged her feet and stood somewhere close to her senior secretary while still maintaining a long stare at Louisa.“This is the first time I’m Sir Mason in this manner. Can you see his red eyes? It’s damn bloodshot and it’s becoming so crazy that I feel like as it stands it’s going to be a tough one between him and that dense girl called, Anna.” The young assistant lowered her voice as she spoke to her boss.“Can you just keep quiet for once? Girl, this room is getting pretty intense and the best thing anyone can do is to be quiet rather than ranting.” The secretary responded to her as she wasn’t giving her any reason for her to engage her in the conversation.“What do you suggest he do at this point, Ma’am?” The young assistant pestered her boss as she wasn’t ready to drop the conversation.The secretary gave her a long
“Mason, attacked someone? When did Mason start getting into people's businesses?” The young assistant questioned herself for she wasn't ready to engage with anyone regarding all that she just heard from Anna's mouth. She kept a puzzled look at Mason and Anna as she was more eager to hear the response that Mason would give her. Her intuition was keen on Mason denying the fact that he has nothing to do against the false accusation that was labelled against him but at the same time she doesn't really know Mason that well. “Please, I….need…water.” Precious coughed out loud extending her hands into the air requesting for some help. “Did you just hear the loud sound of help that came out of her mouth, Louisa?” The secretary attacked Louisa as she heard the request that was being made by Precious. “I’m not deaf neither did I say that I didn't hear what she said she wants but seeing that you guys are not ready at all then you won't expect me to grant her request.”“What! How inhumane ar
The weather started to change into a cloudy atmosphere as the nurses kept coming in casually to attend to some of their patients while some were engaging in their various shifts as regard to how the system operates. Lucas stared into the ceiling counting the bulbs in there just to pass out some time since Jane's hasn't returned with the meal that he asked him to get.He looked at his wrist to check if he could check what the time said but the moment he glanced at his wrist, he realised that he wasn't even putting on his wrist watch and he had no idea where his wrist watch would have been. “What exactly could be keeping him in there?” He questioned himself as he thought out loud waiting for his friend to gloriously show up for him but his presence was nowhere to be found. He was desperately in need to check what the time says but he couldn't find anything tangible to use to check the time. His phone has gone missing and now he has no idea of where his wrist watch was. He raised his
Lucas waved off the question his friend had asked him earlier and directed his question back to him so he won't be bothered and concerned about what has just transpired between him and that patient. “Uhmmm, bro, what took you that long to get the meal?” He asked him to raise his hands up to signal him to bring the meal to his place. James got his signals and single handedly carried the meal up to his friend’s bed. “Man! The nurse didn't tell us the pros and cons about the chef. It was a whole lot for me to handle and seeing that the meal was being prepared right in front of me I had no better options than to wait even though it took a whole lot of minutes to get the meal done.” He adjusted the desk with his legs before settling down the plate on the desk. “But the food looks tasty and yummy from the sight of it. I just hope the look does great justice to the taste.” Lucas stretched out his neck to admire the way the meal was well arranged. “Well, if you say so then so be it. But,
James' hands fell to his lap as he heard Lucas say the last sentence to him with so much confidence and aura in his voice.His demeanour wasn’t doing exact opposite of everything he has predicted internally. He was on a crossed path of reacting harshly or just maintaining so much composure without taking his words for what it is.He tried speaking but his words and speech failed him woefully and all he could just do at that point was to keep a weary face.“Did I take the question of your mind, James? I know you are hell-bent about knowing everything going on in my life but seeing you mad about me not wanting to tell you all that transpired right in here when you weren’t around just makes everything sick and crazy.” He dropped his spoon for the umpteenth time even though he was caught up picking it up all over again.James opened his mouth again, trying to say a word before it became a sentence, but his mouth was immobile between every corner.“Come on man! I want you to say a word and
Andrew rolled over on his bed feeling restless seeing that his only son and true heir to all his assets hadn’t phoned him not to even make mention of giving him a call to be sure that he had arrived home safely just as he entrusted his safety to Officer Ben.He raised his eyes to see what the time was and was astonished to see how time had passed and yet Mason hadn’t even called him.“This is totally unlike, Mason. Since, the last time we both met at the police station I haven’t gotten the chance to talk to him like father and son and he hasn’t for once thought about giving me a call.” he thought to himself loudly with his face facing the ceiling.He tried waving off the thoughts and trying his best not to think about it for too long but the more he tried to wave it off the more Mason’s name kept pondering in his heart.“Gosh! What exactly is happening to me? Why can't I just fall asleep without thinking about him? After all, he told me that I should always have it at the back of my m
The room started getting serious as the tension kept increasing from one corner to the other with eyes looking at each other without saying a word as they only made use of their eyes to signal to each other.“Can I at least get a bottle of water?” Precious cried out in frustration, banging her hands heavily on the floor as she spoke to the man.“Did you hear what she just said, Louisa and Anna? As you can see today is about to come to an end and as far as I’m concerned I know that she hasn’t tasted any liquid stuff. If you can at least give her water or send Louisa to get her water then it’s going to be fine for me.” He focused on Anna speaking with her in a commanding tone even though he was fidgeting as he was speaking but he didn’t bother at all.His major concern was to see Precious come outside of this mess triumphantly no matter how long it’s going to take to end this drama.He tried running over to Precious side since they’d given him a deaf ear to his endless rants and how Pre
