It would complicate things because you see, the dream was about Jacob. An erotic sensual phantasm of her and her new boss. It had been a fairly long time since Aria had had a wet dream and so this bothered her. Flashes of pictures, memories of the dream flared all over eyes, burned through her mind as she struggled to keep him off her thoughts. She failed miserably. The details were still as clear as glass in her subdued memory. The images of his rugged handsome face leaning forward and planting a kiss on the base of her throat. Her whimpers as he carried on. She remembered digging her hand into his thick hair, begging for him to stop but never

    "The family hospital ma," her secretary responded aptly.They continued in silence till they reached the hospital. It was a big hospital of about twenty stories and was one of the best hospitals in the world. Its expertise is second to none with quality staff and equipments."Good morning Mrs. Avanti! I see you are here already!" Mr. Edwards greeted with a weak smile."Where's my son? Where's Roberto?" She asked with impatience."He's at the emergency ward."She froze and was baffled by what she heard."The emergency ward? Why would you put my son in the same ward with those people? Why? This is gross incompetent by you guys. You know how much I like only the best for my son," she ranted on and on, and all Mr. Edward did was laugh."Would you like to take a break ma?"
