A Chance In Love

Chapter 3 First Meeting?

"Gee... The head surgeon is asking for the team in her office," Hailee, one of my colleagues told me.

"Alright, let's go...," I answered

We we're walking to Dr. Jean's office when Hailee released a bomb--- I mean, not a literal bomb, but you know, like a surprising news.

"I think I have an idea why Dr. Jean called for us hihihi," she said while giggling

"I heard his son who studied medicine at Harvard is coming home soon. Maybe, she's gonna give him a welcome back party or something," she added.

"You know, I also heard that her son is soooooo so so so handsomeeeeee!!!! Yieeeee, ugh!" She squealed like a love-sick teenager.

"Seriously? You can act like the doctor you are, you know?" I replied with a tini tiny bit of sarcasm

Okay, maybe a lot more than a tiny bit

"Hmph! You're just a bitter oldiee that's why you're still single right now, " she countered with an eye roll.

Like seriously? Is she even an adult? She acts like a child, but she's still my best friend afterall. Haaayst, I just released a sigh in a little overly dramatic way.

My head is starting to ache from all these crazy convo with my best friend and it's still early in the morning!

When all of us were already gathered in the quite large office of our head surgeon/president, she greeted us and thanked us all for coming. Then, alright, maybe, Hailee's prediction was true. She did invite us to their home, a mansion rather, to welcome her only son that will be coming back on Sunday. She said all of us should be there, and we'll be eating dinner also.

I hate parties or any form of gathering. My only consolation of considering to go there is the food. Dr. Jane's family are sooo rich and I am 100% sure, the foods would be great. Don't get me wrong, I am one whole lotta health conscious person but it is not that wrong to indulge yourself with a few deliciously appetizing foods sometimes, right? Right? Hahaha well, just understand. Pleaseee....? Yey! You guys, gave in! Hmmm....okay, I'll probably go--- for the food!

Fast forward--- Sunday, 6:30 pm

Wearing my conservative emerald-colored cocktail dress, I hopped on my car, turned on the engine, and drive to the mansion of the Allejandros. It was a 20-minute drive from my place to theirs, thank goodness there's no traffic or else I'll be late. The program starts at 7 and I'm 10 minutes early, "better early than late" that has always been my motto since I was a student. I rolled down my window and gave the invitation card to the guard. After scrutining it for a good one-minute, he let me in. I parked it on the left-most area of their parking ground, turned off my car's engine, and got out my car.

I was walking towards their grand entrance door when I felt something unusual. I feel like someone is looking at me, it's so intense. Out of curiosity, I tried to locate the person who's causing an internal turmoil in my brain by moving my eyes around, but I can see no single soul around.

" Is it just my imagination?" I was about to give up when I turned my eyes up the house unintentionally and I stopped in my tracks.

The man on the balcony is the person I'm trying to look for, and somehow, I found him.
