Three months bride

CHAPTER TWO

Melissa’s eyes looked like they’d popped out of their sockets with how shocked she looked. She had thought he’d be very proud of her and even thank her for a job well done. But instead he’s firing her. She doesn’t even know her offense. She hasn’t started her job yet and now she’s fired.

Maybe if she begged him he’d reconsider. She went on her knees immediately and bowed her head very low and started pleading.

“Please sir. This is the second job that I have accepted for months. Sir, I really need this job sir. Please. I promise I’d never touch anything without your permission again. I’ve mouths to feed. Three at that, I need this job sir. I’d do absolutely anything to keep this job. Nothing at all”, She pleaded with tears already gliding down her cheeks.

There was silence in the room after her little display. She had expected him to say something, anything. But he kept mute. She slowly raised her head and met with his hostile gaze. She already knows he hates her. Right now he was glaring hard at her with pure disgust.

“You’ve mouths to feed? How’s that my business? This is my company and I can do whatever I want and I find you incompetent for this job. In fact, you should be in the cleaning department. Besides, you look like you have just graduated from high school.

“I'm twenty five s...

“I can’t remember me asking how old you were!” He snapped at her.

“But... I’m a business man and I love a good bargain. You said you’re willing to do anything for this job, huh?” He asked with a cunning smile fully displayed on his lips.

Melissa gulped in and mentally slapped herself for looking so desperate. This isn’t the first time she’s heard this. And they all always end up asking for the same thing. s*x. She’s sick and tired of men always trying to get in between her thighs. At this rate, she’s definitely going to get banned from joining all the companies in this city. Because she always ends up launching at them in anger.

“Since you can do anything for this job. Then you’d not mind working twice harder than every other employee in this company. On your job description you’re supposed to be off duty by four pm, but I’d only let you go home by six pm on the dot. You’d always make sure all the files don’t pass a day on my desk before you seek them out. And as for your pay, well, you’d be getting the same amount, no special treatment.

She stared at him with open mouth. His conditions were ridiculous, but it was also better than him asking for s*x. And besides the pay is extremely good.

“I'll do it sir. I'll do it”She said, hurriedly getting up from the floor.

A smirk formed at the corner of his lips, but before he could say anything, his phone started vibrating on his desk. He picked it up and clicked on the answer icon before placing it on his ear.

His expression went from cold to scared at zero point one second. He literally flew out of his seat and ran out of the office. Not without instructing her to get back to work.

Tim drove like a mad man to the location he was given. In less than ten minutes, he was roughly parking in the hospital’s parking lot. He rushed out and strode hurriedly inside the hospital. He walked straight to the receptionist, who immediately started flirting with him with her eyes.

“Cut the crap before I get you fired! Was anyone by the name Miss Cynthia Douglas brought here?” His voice was very cold and also laced with worry.

“Oh yes. She’s in the VIP floor. Ward 2B” She hurriedly answered him looking flushed.

He immediately took the elevator and went to the top floor of the five-story hospital building.

The doctor was just getting out of her ward when he got there.

“Ohhh Tim. Just the person I was hoping to see. Please follow me to my office”. He hurriedly trailed behind the doctor like a scared puppy. Eager to find out what’s wrong with his aunt.

He had almost had a heart attack when his homkeeper called him to inform him of his aunt collapsing. He was scared to the bone. He couldn’t lose her, she was his only family. He’d do absolutely anything in him to make sure his aunt lives a full life. She was his world.

“Have your seat Tim. I need you to be relaxed about what I’m about to tell you”. The Doctor gestured at the chair in front of his desk. Making them face each other.

“What’s wrong with her?” He threw the obvious question immediately. His butt kissed the chair.

“Well. This isn’t going to e the best of news Tim. Your aunt was perfectly fine when she was brought in a month ago. Everything seemed fine until today. After conducting a series of tests, we found out she has bad blood.

Tim was confuse. What did he mean by bad blood? “I don’t get what you’re saying doctor. Cut to the chase.

“A bad blood is a new disease that’s new to the medical system. Only two people in the entire world have encountered this disease. And your aunt just became the third”. The doctor stared at him with a pitiful gaze. He knew what he was about to say would shatter the young man. That’s why he kept giving him the news bit by bit.

“Ok doc. So how much is the surgery? What are the things to be done to get on her feet again?

“Well, that’s where the problem lies, Tim. This disease has no cure”, the doc replied.

“What?! No, there must be a way, there must! Is there any hope, doc?

“I’m sorry Tim. It seems your aunt has only three months to live.
