Vannette dropped the kids at the bakery before heading to the main city to work . She stopped at the ceo's office .
" Sir, i brought you this , it's my newest inventory , I don't know if you would like it , but do give it a try . " , Vannette smiled and dropped the to go pack on his desk .
" Hm ? , What is it ? " , He asked dryly , although there was excitement in his voice
.
" Oh uh cream puffs , don't worry it taste alright kinda . " , Vannette shrugged and was about to leave when she fell on her paws and hit her hand hard on the floor making it bruise , she hissed inwardly .
" Are you hurt ? " , Asked Oliver as he helped her out on her feet .
" I guess... No , I think am good . " , Vannette said as she tried to walk but she missed a step and fell on her butt this time .
" You are definitely not good . " , He assisted her out of the hotel into his car carrying her in his arms like a bride , despite her protest . She wanted the ground to open up and swallow her , Oliver seemed not to care , but the constant stares from her co workers were just not it .
"I'm beginning to believe the rumours , there is something not adding up about those two . " , One of the female employees gossiped .
" Hmph ! , Such a s**t . ", Her co female employee hissed and continued her work .

After the treatment , Vannette's mouth flew open when she saw the bill .
" What's with the look on your face ? , Did you see a ghost ? " , Oliver teased .
" No no , but she just dabbed on my bruised hand and massaged my foot , She simply did nothing , she only dabbed and massaged then why this daylight robbery ? , What kind of twenty first century robbery is this ? " , Vannette sobbed .
" Robbery ? , Do you even know this hospital ? " , Oliver asked with widened eyes .
" It says the ' Sy hospital ' , apart from doing medical works , do they also do fraudulent activities ? " , She sobbed again and looked at her bill .
" Darling , everything here is over the moon it's top notched , it's a high class hospital . " , Oliver laughed .
" No , but president boss this is too much for a simple wound . " , Vannette sobbed again.
" So you are poor ? " , Oliver asked , " Poor is not a nice way to put it . But , I am struggling to make ends meet , but in the end am thankful for where I am now and how far a long way I have gone . " , She simply replied with a smile .
" En , I will cover the expenses . But , tomorrow you owe me dinner . " , He winked as her heart skipped .
" Yes , as long as I am not being robbed by this hospital , no! , The hospital is facade, it's just a cover up , it's a fraudulent activity center ! " , Vannette mumbled .
Just then , Oliver received a call , " Mom , I don't want to hear it . It's left for him to return home to us , if he doesn't want to , he should as well go to hell ! " , Immediately he said so , he disconnected the call .
Vannette heard this and pretended not to hear anything, it was not really her business and puncking her nose in what is none of her business was not her stuff , especially when it has to do with family .
