He was convulsing and everything” one beautiful brunette lady seated across from Alina discussed.She dug into her meal regardless, her friend, Melissa was seated beside her in quiet observation as well.“But he seems so healthy with his hot sexy rock solid body. Who would have believed that he was getting sick. It’s not easy to be the boss” her co-conspirator responded.“Yeah. Sir Michael sure has it rough. I even heard he fired most of the company’s top shareholders. He had masterfully gotten their shares and kicked them out of the company” Alina paused and turned to face them now.“Do you mean our boss, Sir Micheal?”she asked feigning curiosity.The girls stared at her like she had grown two heads. “Yeah, that’s what we were saying all along”They scoffed and took their food trays elsewhere. Alina rose to follow them but her friend’s hand snaked out to still her actions.
MICHEAL’S POVThe rest of the day was filled with meetings and zoom calls. The long awaited meeting was going to be happening today and he was excited and tired. He could feel his body slowly shutting down.“Sir, you don’t look so good. Are you sure you don’t want to reschedule this meeting. Besides you’re the boss.” Donald suggested, adjusting his glasses nervously on the bridge of his nose.“You’re being dramatic. I’ll be fine. Once I’m done I’ll finally take that vacation that I’ve been meaning to take.” He said with a hint of sad humour.Donald nodded in quiet understanding.“By the way, I’ll need you to be fully present during the meeting.”His eyes widened in surprise.“Sir is that truly okay?”He eyed him wryly.“Yes”He watched from the corner of his eyes as Donald straightened up in excitement.His lips twitched in response.* * * * *“Gentlemen, let us begin” he declared “Mr Wheeler, you clearly stated in the memo that the purposes for this meeting would be fully discussed
ALINA’S POV“Doctor, what happened? Are they alright?” She heard Micheal ask as soon as the doctor approached them in his scrubs.They waited and let out a breath they didn’t know they were holding when the words came right out of his mouth.“They’re both okay” She jumped before she could think about it.Micheal shook the doctor’s hand in excitement.“Thank you so much Doctor.”Once the doctor walked away, they exchanged looks and before they realised it, they threw their hands over each other, his hands reached for her face and he slammed his lips on hers.I took a step back after the initial shock has faded.“I’m sorry. I was just too excited”He cleared his throat.“Yeah. It’s fine” she replied staring at anywhere else apart from him.“Let’s go see them”After making their rounds to the children ward, they saw how beautiful she looked, she had her mother’s characteristic dark hair and toned colour.She was still asleep when they heard a loud shriek.They rushed in the direction of
MICHEAL’S POV“Which hospital?!” He demanded frantically turning on the ignition and swerved the car back in reverse in the direction of the hospital.When he arrived he was ushered straight into the room she was in.“She tried to take her life with an overdose of antacids. We got a call from her house keeper and we rushed over as soon as the call came in.” The nurse who was leading him briefed him.She led him through the hallway of the emergency ward and stopped at the room that read 236 on the bar above the door.“She’s in there.”He reached for the doorknob.“Please be careful, she’s in a very fragile state. We have tried our possible best to restrain her from causing self harm to herself. The last thing she needs is anything that would put her over the edge” the nurse advised.He nodded and turned the knob open leaving her in the hallway.The first thing he saw was Paulina lying down on the bed and staring up at the ceiling. One of her arm was strapped to the metal handle with a
MICHEAL’S POV“Micheal you need to start chemo as soon as possible so that you’ll have a better chance at beating this cancer.” The oncologist sitting across from him told him sternly as he tried to process the information.The doctor continued oblivious to the turmoil within him.“Your sickness has deteriorated severely. Your immune system is weak and now you’re susceptible to all kinds of illnesses. Mr Wheeler, if you don’t start as soon as possible, you might not have a fighting chance.” He advised.“Is there anyway I can manage the symptoms until I’m done with this crisis in my company.” He asked, swallowing the lump in his throat.The doctor dragged his horn rimmed glasses off his face and propped it on the desk gently. He entwined his hands on the desk,and stared gravely at him.“I’m going to be real with you right now. Mr Wheeler, your charts are not looking good. And as for my professional opinion, you need to start chemotherapy as soon as possible before your window of survi
ALINA’S POVShe could feel the lasers that were glaring out of Paulina’s eyes. Her chest heaved in anger as she stared at her outstretched hand.She watched the pregnant woman turned her attention to Micheal and back to her outstretched hand eyeing her skeptically.“Who do you think you are?!” She asked through gritted teeth.“Exactly what I said. I’m his assistant” she replied as calmly as she could.“You guys haven’t heard the last of me!” Paulina yelled and stormed off.They stared at the door for a while before he cleared his throat bringing her attention back to him.“What the hell was that?” He asked.She winced as she turned to face him as boldly as she could.“So I told HR that I’m accepting your offer” she answered.“Why?” He responded.She opened her mouth and closed it again, unable to say something coherent in response.He narrowed his eyes at her.“You have to give me a reason why Alina. And do not give me that “I just wanted to' crap” he told her.“Well I just wanted to
