It was a rainy morning, and it halted several people from going to work because it was a heavy downpour. Miss Natalie sat by her fire side trying to make a phone call. She hasn't heard from her director yet. Susan hopped downstairs to miss Natalie looking worried.“What's wrong?” she questioned, with her eyes having the image of the fire. Susan shook her head and walked away. Quickly, miss Natalie ran upstairs towards Julie's room and opened it. She sighed a relief when she found Julie praying. Why would Susan scare her off like that? It was time she fired that old lady. Her phone rang in the room, and she excused herself, it was the director who called her. She looked at the window close to her, the rain has now subsided, and she could drive off to the company. Miss Natalie facial expression implied nervousness. She was suddenly sweating and with her palm, she rubbed her face and neck. Julie opened her door and found miss Natalie beside the wall of her room walking to and fro. She ha
Her hands shuddered, those frantic eyes of hers narrowed at them, the sting of blood made her cheek waiver. Tears had brew in her eyes as her lips shook wanting to utter a word.Those teary eyes glanced at the dead being in front of her which made her heart race the more but someone was right there on time to hold her from going numb."Natalie what do you think you're doing? You would have gotten hurt!" rodger snarled but only an embrace was his response as aria had buried her head on in his chest, requesting he takes her away from that place.He had to get horses prepared for the horror-stricken aria who sees herself as a blood viper.She didn't speak to anyone on her arrival, silence had her all day. Locking herself up wouldn't just do as the memory of her face being bath by blood made her stiff.However, that mood was lighten up when vera brought a letter of employment in the castle.The devastated girl didn't want anyone to spend a second in her room and just collected the letter
Alex kept staring at his watch, he hated delays. He had already spent two months and two weeks in this town. Even if he was adapting to the environment, he had plans which was yet to come into fruition and he needed to act fast. He sat close to a grocery shop where he bought snacks and soft drinks while he ate, he studied the environment. He admired the hard working boys who sold because it was cheap. The boys knew how to drag customers with words and he loved that. He watched little children hawking and at the same time eating their produce. Opposite him was a woman making popcorn and ice cream while keeping up a warm smile.. He smiled at the queue which waited to have a round of this woman's product. When he was a child he liked patronizing a particular old woman who was close to his house then. Indeed this place was like a mini market with buying and selling taking place. He saw how some teenagers were struggling to run to school so as to avoid being punished since it was already l
Alex arrived at the location which the caller described and he found one of his allies waiting for him in a dark spot. He greeted the man who saluted him in return. "Daniel told me about you" Alex began as the man looked frightened. He rubbed his palms together against the cold and coughed dryly."Just speak up I assure you of your safety" Alex justified as the man smiled wryly and began to whisper some words to him. Alex held the man's palm which he had coughed on earlier and found blood stain on it.Rodger offered Natalie a drink. She had just finished showering and was wearing one of Rodger clothings. She wished to spend the night at his house but she had a father to keep an eye on. She was glad she muted the old man from calling."What a lovely house you live in" she commented with a thumb up."The princess doesn't like her mansion I guess" he posed as she giggled. She only admired the peaceful serene. At least there will be no morning scolding. They had talked alot before their
"Who sent you?" The old woman questioned as she studied Xavier uneased posture. He kept staring at the pavement as though looking for something."Ma...?" He replied pissed off. It was hard for him to lie to an elderly person."Yes am a non-governmental organisation in search of skillful women like you" He repeated as he grapped the glass of juice that sat on the table between him and the woman."Why do you keep staring at my pavement?" She questioned as she scroll down the ID card Xavier handed to her which had his information. Xavier could feel sweat trickling down through his back. This woman was more like a detective. He wondered how Alex fell in love with her or was she something else to him? It was hard convincing this woman to accept his money however he succeeded.He waved at the old woman who smiled back and waved till he entered his car.The little time she spent with this man gave her hope that she could be remembered even by someone who didn't know her much. she had told her
The cool breeze swept across every street reminding them of the season. Alex sat on the dinning waiting for the president to appear. He gazed at the building which was large for an extended family house but rather he housed only two beings. Most of the walls were made of glass. He looked at the beautiful decorations and was pleased with arrangements. He heard footsteps and he Rose up to honor the president but it was Natalie who stood by the stairs. She eyed him and walked up to him."What brings you here" she questioned but he didn't reply."You are at my house okay" she pressed on sitting close to him as she pinned her fingers together in anticipation of a reply but he was mute. She gave up trying to talk to him. He always acted all serious and mean towards her. "Don't just forget about the surgery tonight" she reminded as she ordered the house maid to serve the meal."I wondered how you deceived the old man into believing you" she whispered knowing fully well he was going to switc
"I can do this alone" she pressed on folding her arms but she knew she was praying hard for him to come along."Okay I will be heading home I think my shift is over" Alex snapped as he glanced at his watch. He was used to that. Sometimes, tochee calls him time keeper."I'm heading to the laboratory... If you don't mind..." She paused and folded her lips. What was she saying? Wasn't she the one who claimed she could do it alone."You were saying?" Alex asked as he noticed her legs moving left and right like a chorister."Don't act like you didn't hear" she retort. Couldn't he understand that ladies had their own pride."Well I need to consider first" he replied rubbing his head softly as she gave him a frown. Lucy had sighted this two and was surprised to see Natalie at the hospital around that time."What brings the queen bee here by this hour?" Lucy asked walking towards them and waved at Natalie."Is it wrong for a doctor to come around when patient's life is involved?" Alex questio
Rodger grew furious, how could Natalie trust someone so blindly? When Natalie left, he walked up to Lucy who was silent. He the bar rod and tried to assure her she would be released soon. Her silence always meant something. She wanted to ask who was going to take the blame? But he had already gone. She was behind the protest along with Xavier. She only did that to reduce the pride of this hospital which had so many foes. In her thought, Xavier bashed in to meet her. She was pleased to see him again. Surely he must have something now to bring her out."How are you doing today" she asked in a low tone."Not good..." He paused and scoffed."Why should you ask such when you Know am worried" he muttered as he curb her palms in his. She smiled."It's taking a little longer" she said annoyed."It's still noon you will be out before evening crouches in" he assured and grinned."Seems you are enjoying it here since I haven't heard your protest against what you were accussed of" he teased as he
