Damien's pov

Surprisingly, I didn't have any bad  reaction to her food.I guess my body likes it. I can't help for feel concerned for her with the way she left.She looked worried not even to mention that she might be planning not to come back.

No! I won't allow that.

The next morning, I enquired of her number from miss Jordan and called her.Miss Jordan looked confused at first but she then realized who I was asking of and quickly gave me the number.She picked on three rings.

"Hello!" she answered in a gruffy voice. I guess she's just waking.

"This is Damien speaking.Come work for me. I'll double your salary." I practically spat at her getting straight to the point.

"What? Why do you want to do that?"

"It's a mechanism. I figured that you might not want to come back but I'm sure you can't refuse the money I'm offering."

I heard rustling so I figured she was moving out of her bed.

"No need to double the salary and who gave you the idea that I won't be coming back."

Although I probably wouldn't have, she muttered. But all is good now.

I was surprised she didn't accept my offer. Most people would have jumped on it.

"Can you come by 9 this morning so we can properly discuss?"

"Yh...yh...I think I can make it."

"What do you mean you think?"

"Nevermind,"she groaned.

Settling the phone down,I had my bath and went to my study to further study the file of my current patient.

After about 30 minutes,one of my maids came to inform me that Clarissa is already waiting in the sitting room. I stole a glance at the clock lying idly on the wall and it read 8:30am.Nice! She's early. I like that.

Arranging all my files properly, I stood up and made my way to the sitting room.I was met with a breath of fresh air. The said lady looked very natural with her freshly scrubbed no makeup face, she wore a green jumper that brought out the bright green of her eyes and a white shirt. Her hair shone with the light streaming in from the windows.

I couldn't miss the way she was shuffling awkwardly on her feet.

"Take a seat miss Clarissa."

"Thank you Mr kristone."

I was surprised she knew my surname but then I'm a very popular person so she must have seen me nevertheless,I frowned at her formality. Strangely,I didn't like it.

"Damien's ok. Would you like anything to drink?"

"No... I'm fine.Thank you."

"Ok...so let's get to the main discussion. I learnt from miss Jordan that you'll be here for about three months?"

"Yh... I'm here on a lucky vacation... She chuckled at that and I had to stop staring at her cause her laugh causes her face to brighten and make her look angelic.

You can put it that way."

"Luckily for you and I, I will also be staying here during that duration. That means I would pay you for three months and if you would like to stay here to avoid going back and forth, it's okay."

She shook her head to signify her refusal to my proposal. "I'm okay with coming from my house. I'ts not very far from here either."

I felt a slight pang of disappoinment at that.

Did I actually want her to stay here.

No! I can't afford that. She will be more of a distraction if I let her stay here.

Moreover, I got something important on that would not entertain any distractions.

"I'm a man that sticks to time so I would expect you to provide my meals on time as well. You can forward your account details to my email which I would give to you by the way and your job starts from this today.

I will also give you a card for the grocery so you can stock whatever you may need in the kitchen. Also, my feeding would only consist of breakfast and dinner. I'm usually busy during the day.

I stood up. I need to freshen up and I expect my breakfast to be on the dining table by the time I get back."

"You got that, Mr kristone."

Looking back with a glare, I corrected her. "It's Damien."

She answered while gritting her teeth. "Yes Damien."

I shook my head at that. Sometimes I wonder why she's so uptight around me

While I was putting on my wrist watch,my phone rang.

"Hello!"

"Sir sir... Sir Damien" The person speaking frantically called my name.

"What the hell is the problem?"

"The patient!The patient!!!she had a cardiac arrest and we're trying to resusticate her."

"What?What the hell happened?" I shouted at him while heading for my keys at the top of my bedside table.

"We don't know as of yet but you may need to come now."

"I'm on my way."I barked at him.

While rushing out the door, I caught a glimpse of the freshly made breakfast that consisted of orange juice, mouthwatering pancakes and scrambled eggs.

"Damien!!! Damien !!!where are you going? Your breakfast is ready."

I smirked after hearing her call me by my given name.

She ran after me but I ignored her and practically sped to the garage. I got in one of my numerous cars not even bothering to call my driver and sped off but not before I caught a glimpse of the glare Clarissa was shooting my way while she stood at the entrance of the of the house.

I felt sorry for her but I couldn't spare her a second. If my patient dies, my nightmares would return full force.
