MasukTYLER’S POV š
-
After dropping Nathalie off, I headed straight to the bar to meet my friend, Dashiell.
“Is this place really necessary for us to meet?” I questioned him as I came to the bar counter.
“What the heck, dude?” he roared with laughter, firing back a silly question that didn’t make much sense.
“We can meet at the office.”
He laughed loudly again. “You’re scared when you’re in
NATHALIE'S POV š–Before I could even ask, the elevator doors opened right away, and there were nurses outside waiting to use it.The nurses greeted Harrison, he just nodded back, and then we headed out.I didn’t ask any questions while we were walking.I understood that the matter Harrison wanted to talk about was a private matter, that no one else should hear, and he trusted me enough to tell me about it.When we got to the isolation room, he helped me put on all the disposables that we were supposed to wear. He, on the other hand, seemed used to this kind of thing and didn’t need my help.Right as we arrived to see Xander, we encountered a nurse attending to him.“Ma’am, Mr. Harrison, Xander’s condition is stable. All his vital signs are within normal range,” the nurse informed us even before I could ask.Harrison and I both nodded in respon
ZANDER CALIX'S POV š–After Harrison and Nathalie left, I waited for five minutes before calling the contact number of one of my cousins, Izaiah Ezekiel Watson.[“Calix?”] he asked, questioningly on the other line.“It’s me, Ezekiel.” I confirmed. “I didn’t know you had my personal contact number.”[“What’s the point of my company if I don’t have my cousins’ contact numbers?”] he said laughing. [“I’m this skilled when it comes to tracking details,”] he said boastfully.“That’s why I contacted you, I wanted to talk to you about something.”[“Okay, what is it?”]“I’d like you to do some research, investigate and find out any conce
NATHALIE'S POV š–“Why in my apartment?” I asked, not letting my surprise show that I almost stuttered in my speech.“Yes, Harrison. Why in her apartment?” Calix asked, it was clear from his voice he wasn’t annoyed and it seems he agrees with the suggestion made by his friend, who also his doctor.Patient?His doctor?“Calix needs someone to take care of him while he recovers.” Harrison replied, which I think was his answer to both Calix and I’m asking.“He can hire, a private nurse. He can also stay in a hotel and I’ll pay for everything.” I suggest.“That’s fine with me,” Calix agreed. “At the hotel Chloe owns, I’m sure I’ll be safer there. As long as I check in to the presidential suite, I think it will cost $60,00,000 to $800,000 per night. Not including other expenses a
NATHALIE'S POV š–After getting out of the elevator, I went straight to the private room where Calix was admitted. I knocked first before opening the door.When I entered, I found Harrison sleeping on the sofa.Calix was awake and talking to someone on his phone.As soon as he spotted me and turned in my direction, he ended his conversation with the person on the other phone line without once looking away from me.“It was Francis, my secretary, whom I was speaking with,” he remarked after moving closer to his hospital bed.“You must have missed a lot of work because of the sudden surgery.”“I can handle it, don’t worry.”“Yeah, I’m sure you can handle all your work.” I sat on the visitor chair. “How are you feeling?”“My lower back hurts a little. That’s just the one thing that feels unusua
NATHALIE'S POV š–I shot a quick look at Tyler, to check what his reaction would be.He was still looking at us. His soft expression was replaced by concern.“No, mommy.”I directed my eyes back toward Sapphire.“I don’t want see any of them, I don’t even want to see daddy anymore.” Sapphire said with emphasis.I just nodded, not knowing what else to say.I also didn’t insist on continuing this conversation.On top of all the things she hasn’t mentioned to me, her voice also carries a trace of anger.And I wouldn’t want to say the wrong thing about this matter, especially I don’t know much about what happened to her back then—before I become her personal baby sitter.“Baby, I need to leave for a bit.”“Will Papa Tyler and I be staying here still, Mommy?”
NATHALIE'S POV š–As I reached the front of Harrison’s office door, I grasped the doorknob, intending to open it, but it was locked.I knocked a few times before someone opened it. It wasTyler.“Why is the door locked?” I asked then went in and closed it.He locked the door knob again and told me the reason. “Harrison asked me to lock the door to prevent anyone from getting in here and that Calix might suddenly come in.”I nodded and felt relieved.I trust Tyler with all my heart and my life, but when it comes to my children it’s better to be double, triple or even a million times more careful.He broke into a gentle smile and said, “You know, Nathalie, I didn’t feel offended at all when you asked me that. As if I would ever do anything wrong to Sapphire.”“Sorry about that, Ty. I want my child to be safe. I can’t
