Michael's Pov

I was already dozing off when my office door opened. Maya came inside giggling. Oh God! I did not sleep last night because of her and now she's here to disturb me again.

"Michael, you are dozing already. You should probably rest, because you look tired" she said.

I scoffed. She ruined my sleep and now she's telling me to rest.

"Why don't you have a secretary?" She asked.

"I don't need one besides James is here to do the work".

"But still, you need a secretary to get your schedule; don't worry, I know what to do" Maya said.

"Don't do anything foo...." I could not complete my statement before she zoomed out of my office. Save me lord.

Maya's Pov

Michael is really stubborn. I traveled all the way from Australia down to New York to visit him. You all might be wondering why I trouble him so much. I love to frustrate him but that doesn't mean I don't love him. I love him so much. After mom's death, he was so affected than I was. He was the closest mum. James and I were the only ones he would always talk to. He doesn't like talking to Dad. He blames dad for mom's death. I got to James office and I knocked on the door.

"Come in" he replied.

I entered inside his office and I saw him typing on his laptop.

"Amaya! What brings you here?" He asked.

"Michael doesn't have a secretary and it's affecting him"

"Yes he doesn't have a secretary cause he said he does not need one" James replied.

"I am going to hire a secretary for him. James put out a post for secretary. Candidates should come for the interview tomorrow" I said and smirked.

Lovelyn's Pov

We rushed inside the hospital and mom was taken to the emergency ward.

Mom!!!! I cried.

You are not allowed to go inside; a nurse said and I sat outside the emergency ward. Lord please save my mom; I prayed silently while sobbing.

Cynthia, my best friend rushed into the hospital.

"Lovelyn!! She called worriedly and hugged me.

"I came as fast as I could when I when I got your call".

"Cynthia, is mom gonna die?" I asked.

"No! Not at all; she's gonna be alright" Cynthia said.

Thirty minutes later

The emergency ward opened and I quickly stood up.

"Are you her daughter?" The doctor asked.

"Yes I am" I replied.

"Follow me" the doctor said. We entered inside the doctor's office and I sat down.

"We attended to her already and she is out of danger" the doctor said and I breathed in relief.

"But her heart is failing and she needs to undergo surgery. The surgery will cost 500,000 dollars" the doctor concluded. I felt my head spinning at what the doctor said.

"50,000 dol....lars" I stuttered. "Yes and we need to perform the surgery as fast as possible; so you need to pay the money so as to commence the surgery, excuse me" the doctor said.

I sat on the floor and I cried my eyes out.

"Mom why!!!!! She's been suffering silently and I could not do anything. I finally regained myself left the doctor's office.

"What did the doctor say?" Cynthia asked.

"The doctor said she's gonna undergo a surgery and it will cost 500,000 dollars" I said and Cynthia gasped.

"500,000 dollars! That's too much" Cynthia said.

Then I went to mum's ward. She smiled lightly when I came in.

"Mom, why didn't you tell us about the heart problem?" I asked.

"Lovelyn, I don't want to bother you and your brother about my problem and besides I am fine" mum replied.

"But we are your children and your problem is also our problem so you should have told us. I will go home and cook for you". I said and hugged her.

Cynthia left already because she has to resume her work. She's a writer and she's doing her internship at a publishing company. I left the hospital and boarded a cab. I brought out my phone and I was surfing the web. Then I saw a job post. I wanted to scroll up and ignore it but the company's name caught my attention. "Secretary needed @ MOND'S CORPORATION. Candidates are to come for the interview tomorrow morning". I read and my joy knew no bounds. Yes!! I will be able to pay for mom's surgery; I said happily.

Few minutes later

The cab arrived at our house. I paid the cab driver and went inside. It's almost afternoon. I entered inside the kitchen and prepared porridge for mom. Then I packed it inside a lunch box. I hurried back to the hospital and entered mum's ward.

"Mom!! I greeted excitedly.

"My sweet angel is happy, may I know why; mum replied.

"Guess what mum..... I found a job at my dream company and I will go for the interview tomorrow morning!!!

"That's great news! I hope you will be employed" mum replied.

I fed mum till she was full. "Time to head back home" I said. I have to prepare for tomorrow's interview.

"Okay sweetheart, I wish you the best" mum said. "Bye mum! I said and left the hospital. Time to prepare for the interview. Mond's Corporation, here I come.
