Miss Ivy and the Billionaire.

Favor

At the next room, Mimi woke up to find Jake seated at the couch.

Jake noticed her movements and looked at her, “how did you attain the stab on your shoulder?”

Mimi could not find the answer to that question, she couldn't tell him why, so the only option was, “did I?”She looked like someone who had no idea.

“Should I show you, or would you like me to press it for you?” He asked.

“That shouldn't be necessary right..?” She said, feigning awkwardness. “Anyway, thank you.”

“You owe me a favor.” He said, looking at her, as if waiting to see what she will say.

“Okay...Is that it?” She said, she is one person who does not like to owe favors.

“Yes.” He was wondering why she didn't refuse. But before he could continue...

“So will you get yourself shot or jump in the ocean so that I can save you? She asked.

Jake was tongue tied, “Is that how you thank your Savior.”

“Well I guess, if I were to return favors from people who have saved my life, then I would become poor.” She continued, “plus the list is long. Very long.”

“Do you think I lack money?” Jake asked. What does she take me for? A church mouse? '

“Who knows? Maybe you need some to expand your business?

Jake couldn't keep up with the calm expression on his face anymore, “you really do not know me?”

“Should I know you? Ooh, let me rephrase, am I supposed to know you?” She asked, raising one of her eyebrows.

Jake felt like removing that I.V drip from her hands, carry her together with the bed, and throw her outside the window.

Mimi knew she was pissing him off, but she was enjoying his reactions,“Ooh, I remember!” She hurriedly said. Jake's face was filled with anticipation, which he was trying to hide, “aren't you that band that I saw yesterday at the parking lot?” Now Jake was loosing his patience with the girl, “Maybe I can talk to my boss to let you be performing at the club every day, you know, that club is always full and there is a lot of tips,” She continued.

“Just shut the hell up woman!” He stood up in anger walked to the door but before he opened it, he turned to her and said, “I will come back for my debt.”

She sneered inwardly, `One might even think he caught a grenade for me.'

Jake walked outside with a killing intent, he saw Conor coming out from the other room. Conor smiled, “what's wrong? I thought you were having a good time in there!” he said jokingly.

“Care to go train with me?” Jake asked.

Conor already knew what he meant by that, he gently patted his shoulder and said, “I would love to train with you, but unfortunately I have a meeting with the Galvins on a new project that they want me to invest.”

“They approached me too, but I am not interested, there is a bigger project on my table.” Jake said. The two never keep anything from each other.

“Well, good luck, I guess you may need or... Not.

The moment they left, Mimi stood up and went to Bee's room. She had inquired earlier from nurse before Jake walked in and she knew he was in the next room. She rolled the I.V drip inside and saw Bee lying motionless on the bed.

“That fucker can't let get out of the bed, look, he even tied my hands and feet,” he said, pointing at himself with his eyes,“since he saved me, he thinks he owns the whole of me. That fucker!”

“Did you tell him that?” Mimi asked

“I would if he didn't threaten me, that sick ass of a man!”He continued cursing and grimacing in pain with every movement he made.

“I have recorded you...!” Mimi said, showing her right hand that had a smart watch while laughing heartily.“Now, let's get serious, there is a problem.”

“What's wrong? Did they see your face?” Bee asked worriedly.

“No! I mean, almost. The target knew we were tracking them...”

“What!How?”He tried to stand up but felt a slight pain, “Ouch!” He grimaced, “Atleast the it isn't that painful... With the way the sucker tied me.” Bee was still complaining.

“I think we have a traitor in the organization.” She concluded.

“But, who could be the traitor? The five of us have been together for so long and that has never happened!”

“That's the problem we need to solve first.” She said.

“But then again, how did you get shot?” Bee couldn't help but wonder. “If they knew, they should have changed the route, right?”

“Apparently, there was only one person waiting for me to appear, but the good thing is that, he didn't even know me.” Mimi said.

“Can we now go? You can stop pretending to be tough, no one is here, we both know how much you hate the hospital.” Bee said.

As if on cue, Mimi stood up quickly but careful enough to not to stir the wound. “You are locked up, so how do you plan to go out?”

“Just take care of the discharge process, I will ask for help from a nurse.” Bee said, “I don't want that man to find me here.”

Mimi smiled and removed the IV drip and walked out. They really hated the hospital, plus their wounds will heal up soon that's because of the incident that happened years ago. She had to admit that, though she hated remembering that incident, she had to admit there were some advantages that came in handy. The wounds will take twenty five hours to heal, she looked at the watch on her wrist, `six hours remaining for complete recovery. ' she murmured to herself. At that moment, the fear came back running to her bones and she started shivering,those memories always haunt her plus the smell of chemicals, at least she was in the VIP room and the smell was at least better. She couldn't move, her feet was numb, she froze, shivering and the people passing by started looking at her as if she was an alien.

“Miss, miss.” Suddenly she was brought back from her stupor by a female voice. “Do you need some help?”

“Please, help me with my discharge procedure, and there is another one in room 1124.”

“Miss, you can't leave in this condition, should we give you a check up?” the woman asked.

Mimi quickly read the name tag on the woman's chest. She knew they won't let her go considering how miserable she looked right now, she had to come up with an idea, “Jane, please help me, I just received news that my sister is dead,me and my brother need to go.”

The nurse immediately understood what was going on, she also would have been like this when she got such news. “I will help you immediately. What's your friend's name?” She asked.

“Psalm Anderson, and my name is...” She hesitated for while because couldn't say her real name, so she had to use the name she always used, “Mimi Maxine.”

“Okay Miss Maxine just give me a few minutes, you can sit at the reception area.”The woman said.

“Thank you very much, but can you take me outside, I can wait there.”

“Okay.”

After she was settled at a sit outside, the nurse left to deal with the procedure, then she sent a message to Bee from her watch. “outside.” Was all she wrote.
