1111 Words
Lucy ignored the call the first time and it ranged again. Lucy had thought it was she had picked up her phone.
Hey Lucy, could you take over my shift on Tuesday? She agreed without hesitation.
She dropped the call
“ Oh my goodness. “
I had an appointment with Smith on Tuesday, she said ,, quickly called her colleague back, but he did not pick
Leaving Lucy in a more confused situation
On Monday morning, Lucy dressed for work. When she got to the office, she quickly went to the roaster and checked the schedule for Tuesday and saw that it was a full day's work.
She looked so worried and said how can I displease myself to please someone?
I already promised him I would work for him. Well, if the day is not serious, I could buy some time off and go to Smith office to submit the document, she said.
It was a Tuesday morning. Lucy was at the front desk with her colleagues when a heavily pregnant woman was rushed to the hospital for an operation.
“Lucy asked what happened?
She can’t push and she is weak already. It is almost past 12 noon.
Lucy went into her office and got prepared for the theater.
Isaac was sitting upright on the sofa with his legs crossed. Without paying close attention,the paleness on his thin lips would've gone unnoticed.
Dressed in pure black, his sharp features and strong aura seemed to show that he had overcome countless difficulties in relationships. Even a single glance from him was daunting.His eyes were on the clock,, he called the front desk and said. Had anyone looked for me
His secretary said No
She asked Sir, are you expecting anyone?
Smith said," Don’t worry once any one come to look for me bring her straight to my office
The secretary was lost in thought with her colleague.
Our boss hardly welcomes visitors but, the thing he is really waiting for must be special.
They winked at each other and smiled
It’s 2pm and she is not here.
Smith said
Did she change her mind?
What could have happened?
Smith has already prepared a special surprise proposal date for Lucy
He became worried, looking out his window every minute, expecting Lucy
Lucy was in the theater operating on the pregnant woman.
After a few hours, it was late. Lucy was happy about success. She went home happily.
Lucy went to the fridge for a chilled cup of red wine.
Her father had gone to bed. The cook had already retired for the day.
Lucy sat down on the couch thinking about her day with a smile on her face.
All of a sudden, the door was kicked open from the outside, sending it crashing against the wall.
Before Lucy could look up to see what was going on, she heard the click of the light switch, and the whole palour became pitch black.
Scared out of her wits, she trembled, her hair standing on end.
"Who's—"
Before she could get another word out, she was suddenly shoved down onto the couch with a loud clatter, her bag and throw pillows on the couch fell to the floor. The next thing she knew was a hand covering her mouth and a strange voice barked, "Quiet!"
When her eyes dimmed into the darkness, she could barely see the face clearly, though her eyes stood out. They were sharp and cold.
Maybe it was because of her training as a doctor. She was used to staying calm even in situations as scary and stressful as this.
She subtly lifted her leg in an attempt to kick the man. But the second she moved, the man noticed and stopped her attack.
A voice came from upstairs that was Mr Houston.
Lucy is that you he asked?
She quickly replied, Yes Dad
It’s me,,,
With fear ,,
Why the noise, he asked ?
The stranger had already left the house.
Lucy was dumbfounded.
She was in shock, still looking, trying to get the whole scenario.
Are you OK?
Her father asked
She muttered
Y-Yes, I am fine dad
She tried to wrap her head over what had just happened.
Who could this be?
She went to her room confused and scared.
She went to her room.
She quickly rushed to her switch and turned it on with fear.
She noticed her window was open. She quickly reached out of the window and pulled down the blind.
She stood in fear and shock, asking herself.
Who could that be?
I think I should report it to the police.
Should I keep it to myself?
What if he comes back ?
Could that be a smith?
She was lost in thought.
It was past 11 pm and she gazed at her phone.
Her phone rang
It was Smith.
She missed the call
Lucy went to the bathroom
She had a hot bath
She raised her face to the shower.
As the water rushed down from her head to toe
She burst out in tears.
And said
Wish my mum was alive
Lucy's mother died after giving birth to her.
She was so beautiful and Lucy inherited her beauty.
Brown eyes,blonde hair,red lips, she was every man’s dream.
Her father refused to marry or take a second wife. Even when Lucy bought the idea of her father taking a second wife, he refused.
Lucy's father loved his wife so much that he did not want another woman to take her place. He reminded Lucy every day of how he loved his wife.
He goes to her grave every 1st August with Lucy to drop her flowers and remind her of how much he loves her and no woman will take her place.
They always mourn her every 1st of August of every year. Lucy doesn’t go to work, neither does her father.
They are always at home on that date to mourn her.
Lucy wanted to talk to someone
Her heart was heavy.
,she cried and cried
But,,,,,
She picked up her towel
Did her facials
Wore her robe
A red robe,she tied the belt to her waist and wore her socks
Her bed was looking all dressed in a pinky color
She was looking all refreshed and comfortable.
She left the light on because she was still scared the stranger would come bk
It was about 11: 50pm.
Lucy had thought about how her day went.
The surgery was successful.
She smiled.
She was about to sleep
She picked up her phone to check her missed calls and e-mails.
Suddenly, she heard voices through her windows.
