Rex had a nervous expression written all over his face. His thoughts were about Maria and the wrath she promised to rain on him. Rex scratched his temples and glanced at Cherry. It was best to face Maria outside the room where she might not accidentally hurt Cherry.
The moment Rex stepped outside and closed the door a shoe hit his head so hard it almost knocked him out. He yelped from the sharp pain and a groan escaped his lips. Rex slouched down grabbing his head in pain, then he realized something trickled down his finger ‘blood!’ he look down at his fingers to see he was bleeding from his temples.
“What the hell Maria.” He yelled at his outburst friend who didn’t think twice before throwing her six inches heel at him. she was the only one who could do that and get away with it.
“You crazy son of a-- you ditched me for almost a week at your office and you expect me not to be angry!” Maria yelled angrily at Rex. She was beyond pissed at her guy friend f
Cherry lay on the floor in shock. Her whole body was numb and frozen in place, not even her eyes moved nor blinked. The only sign that said she was alive is the rise and fall of her chest. What wasn’t normal was the rate her heart was beating, which worsened by the second. The memories which haunted her in the past suddenly came flying through her mind like a fresh wound. The images kept flashing through her eyes it made breathing difficult and stirred up a panic attack, making her nauseous.Cherry could not feel or hear anything because her body had temporarily shut down every sense nerve preventing her body from responding to her surroundings. About an hour later from being paralyzed, Cherry began to feel light pinches to her skin and she was able to move her eyes freely. The first thing she heard was a familiar feminine voice screaming at something.“I- I think she is back! Oh my lord-- thank God you are fine Cherry.” Maria held Cherry’s head up carefully. “It’s okay, you a
Two minutes later Rex and Maria were upstairs.Maria actually was the one to drag Rex all the way by his ears ending all his protest. “I can’t carry her to the hospital, it will ruin my reputation.” Rex argued. “Last time I checked you brought her to your house. By yourself, you treated her, by yourself you looked after her, so why is this a big deal for you? Is it because I am here? You think I might tease you? Well Rex you don’t know me well as I thought.” Maria raised a challenging brow at him. Rex knew there was no hiding from Maria, but he was not ready to accept the truth in front of anyone, likewise, Cherry hates his guts so why tell anyone. “It has nothing to do with youbeing here.” Rex grumbled out. “So? What’s the holdup? You got to carry her now I don’t know how hurt she is. I think some glasses might have gotten into her bloodstream.” Maria explained and could have sworn there was a glimpse of fear and worry in Rex’s eyes but he
“Her body went into a severe shock. It was unexpected at first- but… did something happen while I was away?” He ask. “What do you mean unexpected?” Rex confronts him. Jerry sighed, his eyes darting away from Rex’s eyes. “Tell me, what did you mean by that- huh?” “She reacted to something, I am not sure what it is, except you detail me on what happened before the incident I can know what caused this sudden bizarre condition and fix it. Otherwise, I can’t help her.” Jerry gave him an apologetic look. Rex paused at this, pinching the bridge of his nose in thought. “We had a little argument, an hour before I left the room and when I return she had already hurt herself, it was not me but her.” Rex defends. “A fight? Since when did you engage yourself in an argument. Not just anyone but a woman?” Jerry voiced out in shock. Rex wasn’t the type to hold fights or arguments with anyone especially with the female gender, because there is no winning with them. Je
“I’m sorry sir. I- wasn’t trying to trespass. I--” She tries to explain. Somehow Rex didn’t believe a word she said, he suspects this nurse isn’t innocent as she looks. “I asked you a question didn’t I?” “Yes-” ”Then do yourself a favor and answer me. What are you doing here? You aren’t the nurse posted down here.” He confronts, making his appearance more intimidating. ”I wanted to- I was on my way towards ward fifteen when I accidentally stumbled here. I am so sorry, I won’t make the same mistake again.” She pleaded. “No you won’t, what is your name?” Rex requested. “Please sir don’t report me to my superior I am new here.” She begged. “Just answer the question.” “Please sir… have mercy.” She begged. “For the last time, what is your name?” Rex growled low under his breath, his patience running out. “Tiffany.” She answered softly. “You may leave.” He moved away from the door so she can leave but
“Really? You like it?” Kyle teased him. “It’s okay.” Rex said, rubbing the tiny stubble under his jaw. He has no plan of letting his emotions out. The first comment was a mistake and should not have left his lips, but there is a way to cover up. “It’s a good thing you thought they are fine else there might be a war.” Jerry gave Rex a ghost smile. “So cherry, it’s your turn.What do you think, do you like it?” Kyleaskedher. “I canswear if I wanted to, but I’d say I prefer the contact lens totheglasses, they are much comfortablelike you said.” “I prefer the glasses.” Rex said and they all stare at him. “Why?” Kyle and Cherry asked. “She looks better in them, that's one. Two, it’s her first time using contact lenses, you are sure she can be hygienic when using them? Remember they are worn over the eyes. A little bacteria can make you blind for life, and likewise, she would need them o
On their way to the range rover parked a few meters from the elevators, Cherry spots Susanna marching violently towards them. Her presence meant trouble and trouble is not what Cherry was ready for after being hospitalized. Pure fury scrunched up Susanna’s face while she marched like a legion towards the woman and young girl. “You slut, stay away from Rex! Didn’t I warn you!” Susanna spat at Cherry. “What did I do now?” Cherry mimicked Susanna’s gesture and rolled her eyes to make it look funny, hell! She didn’t know this woman came for war. She is worse than a serpent, dangerous than poison sometimes can be referred to as the witch of the cardinals. “Don’t try to pretend.” She points a manicured finger at Cherry. “I know what you are up to, and you are trying to get Rex all to yourself. I see it! I see it clearly!” She rants like a madwoman. “I am not trying to steal anyone from anyone!” Cherry yelled back. “Liar! I am going to stop you! I wo
The next day… “Mr Angelo here is today’s paper.” Taylor placed a freshly printed newspaper on the kitchen island for her boss to read. It was his usual morning routine, coffee and papers, in addition, some cookies or bread might do. “Hmm.” Rex hummed with the cup of coffee in his mouth and a slice of bread in the other. Rex ate the bread and dusted the crumbs neatly on the plate then he placed the cup on the island. He then picked up the paper, reading the headlines first. He does this to know if the papers got some spooky news about him or the G-Stark company before digesting any other news. Rex didn’t get his spooky news because something else was already trending. !!!K.O: SUPER PUNCH. Susanna Tyler knocked out by an unknown worker of the G-Stark enterprise. Details on page six.!!! That got Rex's attention because it had something to do with his company and one employee he might consider firing toda
After pacing restlessly in his office like a lost disturbed soul, Rex finally decides to push down his ego for the meantime so he could apologize to Cherry. “Darn it fool what have you done?.” He scolds his demon, hating the fact it controlled him and hurt Cherry. “She’ll never forgive me.” Right there Rex admits Cherry was changing him into someone better, and the little mistakes done by her do keep him preoccupied and happy instead of always angry and offended at everything, it was his ego causing the main chaos in his life. Her presence has taken away the constant trauma affecting his everyday life, and the least he did was ruin her. BAD REX!. Rex was outraged with himself but majorly confused, why would a poor girl like Cherry entertain him and not Susanna? He walked out of his office, nervously heading to the bathroom at the far corner of the hall where he thinks Cherry was hiding. Rex twisted the handle to open but it didn’t budge, he tried again rampi
