The Amazing Doctor: Gerald's Ascendance

Chapter 7

The fleet of cars stopped at the Metro Hotel and John quickly rushed down to open the car door for Gerald.

"We are here sir," John announced to Gerald as he opened the door.

Gerald came out of the car and stood in awe of the magnificent Hotel.

Metro Hotel was the top Hotel in the city. It was a thing of pride to tell someone that you went to the Metro Hotel for dinner not to talk about lodging there.

"Please come with me, sir," John said.

Gerald followed John and they both entered the hotel. John told Gerald that Mr. Wellington was in the VIP section of the Hotel.

Gerald followed John to the VIP section but John stopped at the lobby.

"I'm afraid this is the limit I can go," John explained.

"I don't understand what you mean," Gerald said with a confused look on his face.

"The thing is, I am not qualified to enter the VIP section of the hotel," John explained.

"Okay, so how do I get to see Mr. Wellington?" Gerald asked still confused.

"A designated receptionist would come to take you there," John answered.

"Alright! Thank you, Mr. John." Gerald said.

"You are welcome, sir," John replied bowing his head in respect to Gerald.

Gerald watched as John took his leave. He began to look around the hotel.

The hotel was indeed beautiful and Gerald could not help but smile.

Gerald was too engrossed in his thoughts about the hotel when he bumped into someone who was behind him.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Gerald apologized as he reached out instinctively to hold the person from falling.

Gerald immediately let go when he felt something soft and then he heard a woman scream.

In his haste to hold the person from falling, Gerald had mistakenly touched the woman's breast which caused her to scream.

Gerald's face flushed with embarrassment as the realization of what he had done hit him.

He was too embarrassed to face the woman so he kept his head down but he knew that he could not do that for long because as a gentleman that he is, he knew that he ought to apologise to her.

Gerald raised his head to tender his apology to the woman and he was surprised to see her finely made-up face and wet shirt.

She was holding a cup of milk in her hands and Gerald could see that it was the content of the cup that had spilled on her clothes thereby causing the wetness.

The woman was looking at Gerald with killer eyes and her eyes were blazing with anger.

Gerald did not want to look at her eyes so he looked down and in the process of doing so, he saw that her bra and breast were exposed due to the wetness of her shirt.

The woman was breathing agitatedly and her breathing was causing her chest to move up and down.

Gerald quickly averted his gaze and brought his eyes back to her face. He still met her angry eyes boring into him.

Gerald opened his mouth to apologize to her but the next thing he saw was her raising her hand and she gave him a dirty slap.

Gerald was stunned by her actions and could barely contain his anger.

"What was that for?" He asked getting angry.

"You pervert!" The woman screamed at him. "How dare you?!" She asked in anger.

Gerald became pissed off when he heard her calling him a pervert.

"Why would you call me a pervert?" Gerald asked her. "Do I look like a pervert to you?"

The woman burst into a mocking laughter.

"It is not written on the forehead but it's obvious that you are a pervert because you were staring at my chest!" The woman accused.

Gerald found her accusations annoying and he told her so.

"Look here, the only mistake I made was bumping into you and spilling your drink so don't you dare accuse me of something else that I am not guilty of!" Gerald warned her.

The woman was not moved by what Gerald had said, instead, she scoffed at him.

She was about to reply to him when her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Mr. Wellington who was calling her.

"Don't let me ever see this lousy face of yours again!" The woman warned him and left as she picked up her call.

Shortly after she left, the receptionist who had been assigned to take Gerald to see Mr. Wellington came to meet him.

"I'm sorry for the delay sir but Mr. Wellington will see you now so please come with me, sir." The receptionist said to Gerald.

"Alright! Lead the way." Gerald replied to the receptionist.

She took him through a long passage before entering into an elevator where they entered a private passage.

There were just two doors opposite each other on the passage and the receptionist took Gerald to one of them.

She pressed a button and they heard a click on the door being opened from the inside.

"You can go in now." The receptionist said to Gerald.

Gerald thanked her and entered the room. To his greatest surprise, he saw the woman he had bumped into in the lobby with Mr. Wellington.

The woman saw him and she became angry.

"You pervert! I thought I warned you never to come across me again!" She reminded Gerald.

Gerald was about to talk when she cut him off.

"Don't bother! I'm calling security right now!" She said.

The old man saw the tension between Gerald and the woman and he quickly intervened.

"Grace!" He said to the woman. "This is the miracle doctor I told you about.”
