THE MIRRORED WEREWOLF MODEL

#13 Sonya, The Private Doctor

The driver of the Uber taxi Busi is riding in, keeps glancing at her through the front mirror, startled at how she keeps shaking her head a minute after a minute and claps hands thereafter. She carried like that until the taxi reached its destination. “Pride! Pride!” she screams as she swings open her flat’s door, shooting straight to the bedroom to look for Pride. Pride, upon hearing her calling her name as if someone is dying, she just wraps her dripping body with a towel and jumps out of the bathroom.

“What’s up roomie are you okay?” asks Pride, leaning towards the doorframe of the bedroom, waiting for Busi to give her the juicy gossip.

“Didn’t I tell you that that Chloe woman is straight?” Busi still nods her head in disbelief like how she was doing earlier on inside the Uber taxi. “I could feel it in my blood.” She goes on to raise her voice as she sits down on the edge of the bed and hits her forehead hard.

“Calm down roomie, tell me what happened.” Pride responds calmly, moving away from the doorframe to go sit on the bed next to her.

“Her boyfriend came today at the hospital to see her and guess what, all her family members were all over the moon to see him, treating him like he was some kind of a celebrity or som…..”

“Whoo, whoo, hold it right there.” Pride cuts her short. “How sure are you that was his boyfriend, I mean it could be anyone?” she adds

“No, no, no, you hold it right there, roomie.” Says Busi pointing at Pride and rolling her eyes. I heard her father refer to him as son in-law of all time.”

“Come I tell you.” Pride turns to face her and caresses her shoulder lovingly. "Having a boyfriend or girlfriend does not stop one to fall for anybody. No one is immune to love, and we do not choose who to fall for.” Reassures Pride

Busi heaves a deep sigh before asking a question. "So, what do you suggest I do now?”

“You continue acting normal until she is discharged from the hospital. Also, you wait for your final day of the competition and sees how she treats you, then you can take it from there.” responds Busi, standing up to apply the lotion on her body while Busi heads to the kitchen to prepare supper.

The next morning Sandra wakes up to a lengthy text from Chloe instructing her to contact her private doctor who goes by the name of Sonya, to fetch her from the hospital for home care services. Stated secondly on the message is that Sandra should advertise a post for a male personal driver between the ages of 35 and 40 and conduct interviews within two days. Lasty, she should organize Eminent’s club as their venue of the night to host the new Miss USA event a week from now.

The first thing Sandra did the minute she stepped inside the office was to call Dr Sonya.

“Good day Dr Sonya, this is Sandra, Miss Hemilton’s personal assistant. You surely must have heard in the news that she was involved in a car accident and got admitted to the hospital…" she pauses a bit to take a breath

Dr Sonya's anxiety could not let her finish her sentence. "Is she still alive?" Dr Sonya asked anxiously

"Oh yes Dr, that is the reason for my call. She asked that you go get her from the hospital for home care services."

"Oh, God is great at all times. Dr Sonya heaves a sigh of relief. "Please send me all the details, I am driving there as in now." She hangs up and starts taking some of the medical equipment she will need puts them inside the car right away.

Sandra then ticks off the first task from her to-do list as done and gets on with her second one. She does that by hastily running to the HR department on the second floor to give them all the specifics of the post for the personal driver and comes back for her last task which is to organize the venue. She sits down on her desk for a minute, thinking whether she should go personally to the Eminent's club or do everything via phone call. After thorough thinking, she picks up the phone and dials the club. Stacey picks up.

"Thank you for calling Eminent's club, Stacey speaking. How may I assist you?"

"Hey Stacey, you speaking to Sandra from CMA offices. I would like to book your venue for our event of Miss USA."

Stacey could not help but scream the minute she hears the mention of Miss USA. At the back of her mind she thinks she is talking to Chloe because Chloe is the one who once handed her the business card of CMA and encouraged her to enter the pageant. She then went on to search for Chloe on the internet and noticed that she is a billionaire and also the former Miss USA of all time. She also started following her on all social media platforms and since then she has been Chloe's biggest fan. She has also been trying to get through to Chloe's offices several times hoping to see her but failed because of Chloe's tight schedule. There was also a time where she even tried to enter the competition but she failed because she could not reach Chloe on the phone.

"Oh my God, the day has finally arrived. I can not believe I did not enter the competition, the thing is when I was applying online I encountered some hurdles and I tried calling your off…." Stacey raved and raved without a full stop and Sandra had to cut her off tactfully.

"I am really sorry for that Stacey. I will be sending you all the details including the date. Please check the costs with your manager and I will contact you back soon." Sandra hangs up

BACK TO THE HOSPITAL………………………

The two nurses help carry Chloe to Dr Sonya's car. At least she can walk on her own but still needs some balancing, hence she is resting her left arm around the first nurse's neck and the right arm around the second nurse's neck. Dr Sonya then opens the passenger door for her to occupy. The first thing Chloe could lay eyes on before climbing in were the two rearview mirrors from both sides of the car which she finds traumatic .

"No, no I do not want want to seat in front." Chloe snaps, leaving the nurses slack-jawed, including Dr Sonya.

"I am so sorry." Chloe clears her throat, feeling embarrassed.

The two nurses, including Dr Sonya look at one other. Dr Sonya then quietly shuts the passenger door to open the back door so that Chloe could climb in.

"Thank you for your trouble. Please continue doing the same to other patients." Says Dr Sonya, extending her hand to shake each nurse before driving off.

Chloe is sitting at the back seat with her eyes closed, trying to avoid the front mirror at all cost. The flashbacks of the accident is all that is recurring in her closed eyes.

She remembers dropping Busi off at her flat, thereafter she played the music high on full blast, rejoicing that she managed to drive the whole 30 minutes without seeing Busi's reflection in all car mirrors until they reached their destination. The next thing she remembers is her confidently positioning the front mirror without expecting to see any of Busi's face. Unfortunately things did not turn out as she hoped because she suddenly saw Busi's face starring back at her through the front mirror and that way she got distracted and hit the oncoming car. The next day, she woke up in hospital bed.

"Chloe, you have been quiet since we left the hospital, are you alright?" Asked Dr Sonya but Chloe could not hear her as she was deep in thoughts, analyzing the occurrence of the accident.

"Chloe, can you hear me?" Repeats Dr Sonya

"Oh sorry Dr Sonya, I am thinking of how I snapped on you and the nurses earlier on, I really should not have done that." apologizes Chloe as she snaps out of her misery.

"Ag, do not worry yourself about that. Where do I turn again, it has been a while since I came to your house."

Chloe directs Dr Sonya and they safely get to the house. Dr Sonya then takes all medical equipment out of the car and starts doing all she needed to do for a night and then they both go sleep in separate bedrooms.
