HOPE FOR ANOTHER WAY.
"Whatttttt!" Selena yelled as she stood up.
"Why, can’t you do that or don’t you want to?"
"Judging from your appearance, I'm sure you are in dire need of the job. After all, I'll be paying you more than a million dollars for both, you know what I mean," Zavier smirked.
"How dare you, have you no shame?" Selena said angrily. Zavier laughed.
He stood up from his chair, then walked to towards the fuming young lady.
"You shouldn't stand here front of talking about shame Selena, you have none." Zavier said darkly.
"Do you know me?" Selena asked.
"What?"
"Yes Sir, do you know me? You talk as though you have something against me. In as much as I want to ignore, I can't seem to help but notice the look in your eyes. Why do you look at me with so much hatred when we don't even know each other?" Selena questioned.
"You don't know anything, Selena, even though you might not remember me, I remember you so well, and I won't ever forget what you did to me." Zavier yelled.
"You're not saying anything," Selena said softly.
Suddenly, she took a quick look at him and felt there was something familiar about him, but she just can't tell what it is.
"I have nothing to say to you." Zavier spat.
“All I know is that I've given you the condition for the job, princess Selena”. He mocked her
“To work as my secretary, you have to be my play thing, my s*x toy," Zavier smirked.
The moment those words left his mouth, Selena rewarded him with a slap.
"How dare you." She said with gritted teeth.
Zavier looked at her with so much anger in his eyes, she dared to slap him? He'll make sure she pays for this.
"Do I look like some cheap slut to you? Do I look like someone who you'll just flash your money at and I'll immediately spread my legs for you?"
"You're nothing but a shameless man Zavier Salvador, truly, the things I've heard about you are nothing but the truth, you're a cold and heartless monster, you're a despicable man."
"Enough!" Zavier fumed.
"Not a single word from you."
"Why? Does the truth hurt so much?"
"Shut up Selena."
"No, you shut up," Selena yelled.
"I came here in search of a job and you could have just said so if you didn't want to hire me, you didn't have to show your true nature like that."
"What!" Zavier said in disbelief.
"Yes, you heard me right, you just confirmed everything I heard about you."
"You're biting more than you can chew Selena, I'm warning you to keep your damn trap shut."
"Ha!" Selena scoffed.
"Why should I shut up, you should be the one to shut up Zavier Salvador."
"Let me tell you something, I will never be your mistress or your s*x toy, anything you choose to call it," Selena retorted. Zavier smirked.
"That's not true Selena, one way or another, I'll make you succumb to my demands, mark my words on that," Zavier said darkly.
Selena was about to give him a befitting reply when her phone rang. She glared dangerously at Zavier before taking her phone from her bag, her heart skipped a beat when she saw it was Linda calling. She hurriedly answered the call.
"L...Linda?"
"Selena, you have to come to the hospital."
Linda said, her voice sounding urgent.
"What's wrong?" Selena panicked.
"It's Nathan, h...he is unconscious."
"What? I'm coming." Selena said, then she ran out of the interview hall with a speed of light.
"What was that?" Zavier frowned while thoughts ran through his head.
"Who's Nathan?" He thought.
He happens to have overheard her conversation with the person she called Linda. He felt like going after her, but got a hold of himself.
"I'll have to find a way to make Selena Martinez mine, and then, I'll be sure to punish her for her wrongdoings." He thought with a wicked grin.

The Hospital...
Selena rushed into the hospital which is a bit far from the company. She was already gasping for air as she ran straight to Nathan's ward. She swung open the door and met the doctor and Linda there.
"Linda." She called, and Linda turned to face her.
"Selena!!," Linda screamed in tears as she went to hug her.
"What happened?" Selena asked.
Linda pulled out of the hug. She explained all that happened to Nathan.
"The doctor had asked Nathan not to do anything to stress himself, running or playing around, he should be resting instead."
"The thing is, I had to go use the bathroom for a moment, and when I returned, Nathan wasn't in his bed, he went out, and I had to start looking for him all around, and when I found him, he was lying on the floor, unconscious." Linda cried.
"Oh no." Selena panicked. She rushed to Nathan's side and held his hand.
"H...how's my brother doing doctor? Hope nothing bad will happen to him." Selena questioned in tears.
"You do not have to worry Selena, he's fine, we've given him some medications and he'll be fine when he wakes up, you'll have to be extra careful, he can't be put under any form of stress. He shouldn't be allowed to roam around like that." Doctor Mary said sternly.
"I'm sorry doctor, I'm sorry Selena, this is my entire fault, I shouldn't have left him all alone in the first place," Linda said calmly. Selena sighed.
"Don't say that Linda, this is not your fault, I don't want you blaming yourself for this or I'll come there and give you a hot slap, Nathan will be fine, you heard what the doctor said, so don't blame yourself."
"Selena is right, do not blame yourself for this, and I didn't say that so you could blame yourself." Doctor Mary added. Linda nodded.
"Selena."
"Yes, doctor."
"Please come with me." Doctor Mary said and went for the door.
"I'll be back," Selena said to Linda.
She walked quickly to keep up the pace of the doctor. Finally they got to her office. It was just a stone throw from Nathan’s ward. Selena was offered a sit . She was anxious as to what all this was all about. Doctor Mary offered her a cup of coffee to calm her nerves because Selena looked really nervous.
"Selena."
"Yes, doctor."
"What are you doing about the money for Nathan's surgery?" Doctor Mary asked. Selena sighed.
"I want you to know that Nathan needs urgent surgery, so you'll have to be fast about getting the money." Doctor Mary said softly.
Selena could do nothing but nod her head. Her heart was heavy and she could feel tears gather in her eyes
"What do I do now?" Selena muttered to herself, while fighting back tears.
Zavier's words rang in her ears.
"Be my mistress."
"No, never! I won't stoop so low, I'll have to find another way, there's got to be another way."
