Episode 4
Michael was asleep in his room still enjoying the glamour of the day when a call came in, waking him up from his sleep. It was from a popular private hospital in Coast city named “Global Peace” where he dropped his curriculum vitae during his last search for a job.
“Hello! Good day sir, am I speaking with Mr. Michael?” She inquired
“Yes, you are. May I know who’s on the line, please?” Michael inquired.
“This is Vivian from Global Peace Hospital.” She responded,
“We invite you for an interview which will hold tomorrow by 8:00 am and ensure you come along with your credentials.”
“Wow! I blurted; I will make it down as early as possible, thank you.”
“Do have a great day, Mr. Michael, thank you.” She let out,
“I sure will, thanks,” Michael retorted
"Just like that?" He asked himself, still feeling astounded.
"I will need to inform Kenny about this good news," Michaels said
"Where has he gone to by this time of the day?" He asked rhetorically
"Oh! Today is Friday. He must have gone for morning mass already."
It was on a Saturday morning; Michael woke up as early as 6 am, he had prepared and ensured he looked good for the interview. Michael got to the hospital before 8:00 am and the guard in charge oversaw him to take his seat at the reception while he wait for the canvasser to attend to him at his given time. Trust Michael in opportunities like this, he doesn’t joke with time. He got to see other people settling already in devising dresses, all looking gluing. He guesses he wasn’t the only one who was so prompt and good-looking. It was 8:00 am already; They called Michael upon for his interview. His heart skipped quickly for the first time in his life. Of course, he is brilliant, but for the tension, he couldn’t use his being brilliant to control it. Michael opened the office door and entered; It amazed him to see the very person he got to help the previous day at the bus stop. His mind had to calm down the moment he knew it was her, but it shocked him she worked in this hospital and she’s the one to interview him.
"She must be an intellectual," Michael said to himself
"How old will she be?" He kept on asking himself
Her eyes were so capturing, Michael couldn't take them off but the interview had to ring back to his head as he tried comporting himself.
“Good day, sir!” She said
“Good day ma, Michael replied.”
“Please have your sit, I believe you are....”
“Michael,” he cut in instantly
“Okay! Dr. Michael, I believe?”
“Yes, it’s me,” he said anxiously.
Michael was terrified
"Does she not recognize me?" "What's wrong with me?" He kept asking himself a series of questions, Michael has never fallen for a woman like this in his existence.
“Can I have your credentials, please?” She pulled out my attention back
“Here they are,” Michael retorted
It tempted Michael to ask if she remembered him, but he didn’t want to be too explicit as not to lose the privilege of being a part of Global Peace hospital, so he kept mute for a while as she goes opening his files.
“Impressive grades you’ve got here, Mr. Michael.” She remarked,
“Thank you very much, ma,” Michael acknowledged
“You must be a scholar?” She said, still glancing through my credentials
“Well, it takes a scholar to know her fellow scholar,” He retorted.
“They both laughed.”
Go on letting out Michael, this might be your chance of getting this job; his mind kept on hitting him with those words. Michael gave in at last; he had to look for a way to twist the whole questioning.
“If I may ask ma, do you by any chance got helped by a man along the road one sunny Friday?” He inquired
“Yes, how did you know?” She asked
“Are you the person? She tried validating
“Yes I am, I guess you must have forgotten my identity?” He said
“Wow! She exclaimed,”
“My sincere apologies sir, I didn’t notice because you look all diverse on the suit.”
“Thanks for the other day. I appreciate your help.” She said,
“It’s nothing. We sure should help one another in times of need.” He replied
“They both smiled.”
“With these good grades, alongside with the kind and helpful heart you have, you would get employed in this hospital.” She assured me
“Thank you so much, I am grateful,” Michael replied
“Oh please, I should be the one thanking you.” She said
“If I may ask of the position you hold here? I’m sorry I didn’t get to ask the other day. We were both engrossed in the discussion.”
“They both laughed.”
“I am the doctor in charge of surgery operations in this hospital.” She replied,
“Wow! He exclaimed a surgeon you are?" He asked
"Yes sir" She replied
"I specialize in that field too," He announced
"That's good to hear," She said
"Nice meeting you again, Dr. Mitchell.”
“They both shake hands.”
“I hope to catch up with you some other time,” Michael said,
“Can I call? Or I could test if it will disturb your working days,” He asked, acting like a lion about to devour its prey.
“Not at all, sir.” She replied,
“Here is my card.” Stretching her warm hands towards mine.
“You can place a call if you wish to.” She said,
“I will place a call on you,” Michael replied
“They both smiled.”
“Have a great day, Dr. Mitchell.” He headed straight for the office door and exited.
Michael got back home that very day and meet Kenny sitting in the parlor with the Tv displaying a match between Man City and Chelsea.
" You back so soon?" Michael asked
"Yes, I am. You do know that our work is not like your normal own where you get to spend the whole day and night checking on patients" Kenny responded
"Is it not human fabrics like you we are given proper treatment" Michael replied
"I am not part of them anyway," Kenny admitted with a humorous look
"Indeed" Michael replied
They both laughed
"So, how did the interview go?" Kenny asked
"You won't think that lady I told you I helped the other day when I went to get pizza, is the same lady that was my interviewer," Michael announced
"You don't mean it," Kenny said in surprised
"She's a Doctor and not anyhow doctor, she's a surgeon. The same field I am specialized in"
"I see some chemistry moving in the air" Kenny said
"What chemistry," Michael asked trying to get Kenny's point
"Don't pretend as if you don't know what I am talking about" He replied
"I need to refresh up, I am not in for your jerk words," Michael said
"My best friend has found a good thing," Kenny said aloud
"Of course, I found a good, which is my job,"
Michael!!!! Kenny called out
They both laughed aloud.
