Ashes of trust

Chapter one, Episode two:The promise 2

Time flew away so fast and the day was almost over I excused myself and said my goodbyes coz even if I enjoyed being in the same room as him the fact that dad had asked me to keep the fact that we're related a secret had me on edge the whole day and I couldn't wait for him to explain himself. You can place those files on that shelf over there and you can be on your way and remember you need to be here early tomorrow morning you get it. Yes sir I'll be here early tomorrow morning. Ok you can leave now. As I was leaving he called me back what is it now why has be called me back? Miss Rodriguez. Sir? Your phone. Ooh thanks, I was in a hurry to leave that I did not notice I had left my phone. I went to the locker room changed into my clothes and took a cab home since dad had already left.

As she left I felt Kinder empty, I don't know what was happening to me this was the first time I felt this way. I was so used to girls wooing over me that I never experienced this kind of yearning before but she was different she made me feel a lot of things all at once and this was scary because I hardly know her and today was the first time I met her.

When I got home dad was preparing dinner, what's for dinner dad? Beef stew, rice and fruit salad. It smells delicious can I help you out? No need am almost done just go and freshen up and come down for dinner. When I was done I helped dad to set the table. Now dad tell me what was all that about. Joy it's for your own good .My own good? Please elaborate dad I don't understand what you're saying. The Sanchez's are not who they seem, it all began when your mom got sick I had tried really hard to find a matching donor for her heart transplant but it seemed impossible but then Don Sanchez approached me and said there was a way he could help me I was so desperate that I didn't care whatever it took to save your Mum that's all that mattered to me at the time. I did all this for your Mum. Her surgery was a success but as she was recovering her body began to reject the heart and in the long run she didn't make it through. She had warned be not to make a deal with Mr. Don she said it was like making a deal with the devil. After her death I was not out of their clutch they got me carrying out unauthorized surgeries back and forth. So you see why I don't what them knowing we're related. Am even more grateful that I sent you abroad to study so when they went digging for info they didn't find anything about you I hired someone to sort that detail out. Then if you knew then why didn't you stop me when I was applying for an internship at their hospital dad? It's because I want you close so I can keep an eye on you to make sure your safe. Let's eat now before the food gets cold.Dad one more question why didn't you quit after mum died and leave that hospital ur a very know surgeon you can get employed anywhere else. Firstly is because am a share holder in the hospital and I too deep to walk away. They might also see it as a threat and come after me. Still they say keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Dad just promise me u'll take care of yourself. I will. After dinner I cleared the table and did the dishes it suddenly hit me that my sexy boss, stop it brain. My boss is the grandson of that Mr Don guy and here I was infatuated by him but does his family being bad make him bad. I can't get myself mixed up in this I will not get too comfortable around him it will strictly be business and I'll start by not thinking his sexy. After she left my office I couldn't get any work done. Hey Jorge can you cover my evening shift for me? Or hats wrong with you today Martin you seem a bit disoriented. Well it's just this lady, what your all a mess because of a woman since when did you become that guy? She's different their's something about her I can feel it. You have to make an introduction then. who's she? She's a new intern working under my supervision. So do you know her from somewhere? No l actually met her today and know nothing about her apart from what I read in her resume. You gat to be joking right, anyway I'll cover for you but you owe me one. Days flew by so fast the sanchez's were holding a party to celebrate the 45th anniversary since the opening of the hospital and apparently I was invited dad too. I had been concentrating on my job but today he called me to his office. Miss Rodriguez I assume you received the invitation to tomorrow's party I hope you are attending I need to introduce you to some people that my help you in your Career in the long run. Yes sir I will be in attendance. Good and I wanted to ask is something the matter you u've been avoiding me and your even standing next to the door like you wanna run the moment you get a chance if your not comfortable with me as your supervisor I can have Maggie assign you to another doctor. No sir am fine trying to keep up with you and ur schedule but am ok. Fine you may leave now. What was I thinking that was my chance to have any other person be my supervisor but no I had to go and reject his offer he was the one who suggested it,it would not seem weirdly suspicious if I accepted it. Girl you're lucky. Maggie where did you come from you scared me? Luck I don't know what you're talking about. Seems like our boss is so intend into helping you and one thing the way he looks at you and is concerned about you,tell me you haven't noticed. Noticed what? He's into you. Your hallucinating Maggie, now am leaving see yah. Whatever you're the only one who does see it. Wait I was thinking I'll come over at your place tomorrow so we can get ready together for the party. Mmh how abt l come to your place mine's under renovation. And where exactly have you been staying?At my place why? No can do you cant stay in a house under renovation you get your things today and here's a spare key to my apartment you can stay with me until the renovations are complete. You sure about that? Of course that's what friends are for. Ok thanks Maggie. Here I thought she didn't want to work under my supervision. I don't get her why did she reject my offer if she feels uncomfortable working with me I can see it I totally make her uneasy and not in a good way. Joy I'll soon find out what ur all about.Hey dad I'll be staying with Maggie for the time being she's been insisting that she wants to come over so I had to tell her my house is under renovations I don't like lying to her she's been so good to me since I met her and she now considers me her friend as i do her it doesn't feel right lying to her . I know Joy but it's something we have to do. You did the right thing and am ok with you staying with her she's a kind soul I've seen how she treats and associates with people in general. Just always keep in touch coz at work we can't talk so freely. Ok dad I've already packed I'll call you when I get there. (opening the lock). I thought you said you were not gonna be home when I come that's why you gave me a key. No silly the key is because your living with me now and you right I was gonna be working late organizing tomorrow 's party but they hired an event planner so that's lightens the burden of the whole event planning my job was to ensure all the right people got their invites and that part is done anyway welcome to my humble aboard. Theirs nothing humble about this place Maggie it looks amazing. Follow me this will be your room, feel at home. Talking about tomorrow's party hope you have a dress I can't wait to doll you up. He's gonna be drooling over your like you're a piece of meat he can't wait to devour. Who's he? You know who ur cheeks turn red just by the thought of him devouring you. Stop that it's not funny and I don't know who you're referring to. Ok sorry but that doesn't mean what I've said is far from the truth. She's right the thought of him does something to but I can't indulge Maggie or myself I made a promise. Hey where did you zone of to. Ooh sorry you were saying? Have you had dinner? No not yet. Ok I'll make us something and we can show me the dress you'll be wearing tomorrow.
