Was she still dreaming?Anne led Zara to her car and drove her away from the fashion house. Inside the car, she decided to play soft music. She usually streamed all her songs on Spotify and she had her favorite playlist set. She moved her head slowly to the music as she drove and she noticed that even Zara moved her head to the rhythm.Zara stole a glance at Anne. She was unsure of their next destination. She guessed that it was where they would make the video but she also thought that there perhaps was another stop to make first. In the end, she decided to voice out her thoughts, only then would she get answers. "I'm guessing we're going to make the video," Zara pointed out while staring at the cars that drove past them. She had not yet gotten to the live uptown. It was almost as if everyone who lived here were always in a hurry to meet someone."We sure are, I hope you've memorized your lines?" Anne asked without looking at her. She made a turn to her left effortlessly and continue

Kelvin entered Umbro Medical Center for the first time. If he hadn’t seen nurses and doctors in uniforms, patients in hospital gowns moving about, he would have mistaken the building for a hotel. He walked up to the reception and got directions to his doctor’s office. He went ahead to locate the office. He passed the Neurology department and saw a young man in a wheelchair, with a young woman around the same age as the man pushing the wheelchair. Kelvin suddenly felt sadness run through his entire being, he wished Zara was with him. All he had gotten was a text, he knew if she had her way, she would have shown up. He blamed his ailment for putting them in a situation where they would not be able to see each other regularly. He had no family or friends that could have been there for him. All he had was Zara and her family. Since he had refused to reveal the news of his condition to Zara’s parents, he was doomed to be in his own. Kelvin felt alone, in a busy place as a hospital. H

She was restless.Zara wondered why she had not been able to reach Kelvin. She was dying to know how the doctor's visit went. But all of a sudden, Kelvin wasn't reachable again. She kept calling, but she could not reach him, nor did he return her text.The one time she wasn't with her phone was when she went to the bathroom. By the time she came back, there were three missed calls from Kelvin.Zara immediately dialed his number and it wasn't reachable again. She became very restless, wondering what went wrong.She kept trying his number, waiting for him to pick up. All she needed was to hear Kelvin's voice at the end of the receiver.Something in her was telling her to leave the house, but she knew for sure that was not going to end well.She wasn't sure what to do and Oliver was not back from work.“Oh Oliver,” a thought came across her. She searched for his number and then remembered that she hadn't saved it. At the time, she had felt there was no need to, she could now see every r

Oliver rang the hospital in his car. He wanted to know Kelvin's state, he wanted to check on him before he went to the interview. "Good day, Mr Russell," Doctor Kendrick answered on the line."Good day doctor, how is Mr Kelvin doing?" Oliver went straight to the matter. "He was awake a while ago, he seemed very healthy and strong. Honestly, I was surprised he could already sit up after that surgery," the doctor answered. There were voices in the background. "He is asleep now, everything is going smoothly, sir," the doctor continued. Oliver could nearly picture the doctor's intense eyes. "I see, thank you very much, take good care of him and provide me with information concerning any future development with his condition," Oliver spoke quickly. He looked to the front and his eyes met Jeff's from the rearview mirror. "Sure sir, I will let you know," the doctor replied. "Good, I will have to hang up now, do have a good day," Oliver ended the call and put the phone down on the seat be

Oliver raised a brow. He didn't like where Anne was going. "We have to go all out, in making sure all the cameras don't leave your side,” Anne seemed to be excited about the whole thing. Oliver let out a soft laugh, he had always known Anne to be a clown.Anne stopped, wondering what was hilarious.She ignored him and continued, “Well, I have your outfits ready. I have informed Zara that I’ll be coming to pick her up at noon. I’ll have her back before 4:00 pm so you can leave together,” She swiped the screen of her iPad, showing Oliver what she had prepared.Shit! Oliver paused abruptly like he just had an epiphany. “I haven’t told Zara about the awards dinner, and it is tomorrow! Anne, could you please help me out again,” Oliver pleaded.Anne rolled her eyes and responded, “I guess I should add ‘mess cleaner’ to my job description Fine, I’ll call her,” She gave in.She started putting folders inside her bag. She was getting ready to represent Oliver in the meeting.“I guess I shou
