Not Your Typical Billionaire

Valentine

Another all-nighter, I have to stop doing those or move into the office, I wanted to catch up on some paper work. That way I can go and maybe see chef Aundreya again, not like in a weird way just check on her. I sent her a goodnight text last night at her bedtime, but I didn’t get a response. I looked at the time to see it was 3 am; oh God this night never seems to end. I’m going to have Angel clear my schedule for this afternoon so I can rest. Hopefully have dreams of my own sweet angel, oh my God she makes me seem like such a creep. How do the guys in those romance shows make it seem so romantic?

I grabbed my phone to send her a good morning text, before turning back to my papers. I have to sign on getting Dr. Carson to the human world to work on his project of curing cancer. He wants to work at some hospital but they aren’t looking for anymore specialist in that field, he just refuses to change his mind. My company pretty much is like a sorting system for doctors and scientists who specialize in curing or researching specific diseases. I have vampires in fairy territory and dragons with witches. I grew up in-between the human world and the supernatural world, I had a human friend who became sick and died.

I couldn’t comprehend the death because I didn’t understand it, so I decided to become a doctor. When I learned that the supernatural beings can also get sick I went back to school. I met some people who had the same thought as me, to use our gifts to heal those who need it. Like you can’t expect witches to take other witches healing them of a disease seriously. Those magic spells and crystals can only do so much, by sending them a vampire who can help a lot less of us will die. Seriously like vampires we’re so far up our own ass we— well they believe a nice cup of blood could fix it all.

My company really gives specialist a place to work and help get them connections to work with a certain species. I get the money from the insurance companies and the hospitals and the specialist are paid through me. We have a company to help build anything that may be needed to help the research. If they need that machine in the hospital we sell it to the hospital and train the staff to use it. We work with both the supernatural and humans so we have many different devices being sent out. A lot of our money also comes from medicine and test we make here as well. I had the idea and so much support to do it from so many people in the medical field with me.

I smiled as my phone chimed, I looked to see it’s from Aundreya, ‘Good morning my stalker boy.’ I chuckled softly rolling my eyes before taking off my reading glasses. She always wants to call me stalker boy, but I have a feeling she’s just pushing me away. Why? I have no idea anytime I ask about it she just brushes me off and changes the subject. I need coffee and sleep, now! I stood up from my desk grabbing my phone; I walked to out of my office and to the elevator. I push the down button causing the door the open; I walked in pushing the first floor button.

I pulled out my phone to send her a response, ‘I would prefer to be called lover boy.’ I exited the elevator and headed out the building. I need to get some coffee and Angel isn’t going to be in for another 3 hours. I started walking down the empty street looking around. My favorite coffee shop is down the street, its open 24/7 and I can walk in and they know my order. I think it’s part of their training to know it by heart; I reached the front door of the shop. I opened the door hearing a bell, the girl behind the counter held out 2 cups with my name on them.

Angel must have called them last night to alert them of me working all night. I walked up to the girl at the counter grabbing the coffees. I thanked her before throwing a tip in the tip jar, they’re still hot. I took a sip off one of the coffees before walking out the shop, the empty market that Aundreya apparently likes to shop at. I need to get back to the office so I can take this afternoon off, ‘you’re only changing your name to creep.’ She sends back. I smiled at my phone before taking a sip of my coffee, ‘I have a favor to ask,’ I sent her. I looked up to the sky to see moon is full tonight. ‘I swear to goddess if you ask me on a date I’m changing my number.’ She texted to me, I chuckled before shaking my head as I stopped in front of the building.

I swear she’s going to be the death of me; hopefully it’ll be a good death, nothing too horrible. I entered the building to see a few of our scientist sitting in the lobby talking, I wave to them and they waved back before returning to their work. I entered the elevator as I started to write out the text ‘send me a screenshot of my contact info’ I said before pushing the button to the top floor. My phone ding as the elevator started to ascend; it was a picture of my contact information with the name as Ezra (stalker boy). ‘That’s mean, I’m not a stalker.’ I sent back to her as the doors to the elevator opened. I exited the elevator heading down the hall to my office. I took a sip of my coffee as I walked into my office, leaving my door open since I still had an hour and half left before anyone would show up.

‘So stop following me,’ she sent me as I sat on my sofa drinking my coffee, I don’t want to go back to my desk. ‘I’m not following you; I’m a work while you get ready for your day.’ I sent to her. I sighed getting up from the sofa to head over to my desk. One thing about me that’s different from most billionaire is I’m not a paperwork type guy. I love when I get to go work in the hospitals, I hate the meetings and paper work and events I have to attend. Most times I won’t go unless mandatory, but a lot of the times it’s very much mandatory. ‘Are you telling me there are cameras in my room?’ she sent back to me.

If there were cameras in her bedroom, I would never get any work but luckily for her I’m not that type of guy. ‘I’m not that type of guy Aundreya,’ I said before turning back to my work I remember her telling me she couldn’t stay up to talk to me because had to be up at like 4 am to be at work by 5.  She won’t text me while working but when she’s on break or done for the day she texts me back. I smiled thinking about how she’ll call me if she’s watching Netflix so she doesn’t miss anything. She doesn’t notice that she’s talking to me like friend until she has to go to bed, she tells me about her day and what she’s watching.

She honestly doesn’t know just how much that makes my day when she talks to me like she does anyone else. My phone dinged causing me to put down the papers, ‘Oh yeah what type of guy are you?’ she sent to me. ‘The kind of guy that wants to spoil you rotten.’ I sent back to her. The light on Angel’s desk turn on causing me to look up as she entered my office, her pixie cut haircut looks nice on her. She smiled before walking up to my desk with her hands behind her back. Oh no she has more papers for me. I groaned leaning back in my chair, covering m face with both of my hands.

“Good morning to you too Mr. Valentine.” She said as her dark blue eyes started to sparkle slightly.

“Morning Angel,” I said removing my hand from my face; I looked to see she was holding my schedule for the day out. She cleared my afternoon for me without me having to ask. This is why I love having her as my personal assistant. “Thank you Angel.” I said

“Duggan had to remind me you have a new interest and that you like work hard. So I cleared your schedule for the afternoon before I left yesterday.” She said before sitting on my desk, Duggan is a good guy I’m glad they’re so happy together.

“Thank Duggan for me,” I said she smiled softly before jumping off my desk. “Oh”—

“I have already made sure the flowers were sent they’ll there tomorrow night before she goes to bed.” She said

“Remind me to up your pay next month.” I said she shook her head before heading towards the door.

“Just get a girlfriend already, that’s payment enough.” She said walking out of my office, I sighed turning back to my papers. My phone chime as I picked up my papers, I peeked at the message ‘or the type who would say anything to get in my pants.’ She sent me, I swear who ever hurt her I will personally kill them myself. Who would hurt such a beautiful creature? Terrible people and I hope one day she will tell me about her past.

I picked up my phone so I can open the message, ‘Never, I want to put ring on your finger and call you my wife.’ I sent to her, was that too creepy? Maybe I should watch some of those movies to see how they do it. ‘That sounds like a trap.’ She sent to me, I looked up my door to see Angel walking away from her desk. I pressed call before putting my phone up to my ear. I really hope she answer, I know she just got finished doing breakfast, she normally is having breakfast herself right now. I stood up walking over to my door, closing it softly as she answered the phone.

“Why are you calling me?” She answer

“Hello to you too, I called to talk to you.” I said

“Well fine, what would you like to talk about?” She asked

“I’ve been up all night working, so just the sound of your voice is nice.” I said

“Up all night doing what? Watch my bedroom camera?” she asked laughing into the phone, god I would love to sit across from her while she’s laughing.

“I do not have cameras of you in your house; I’ve been working, boring stuff.” I said looking down at my paper work. “What are you doing later? Do you want to watch that movie you were telling me about?” I asked   

“I’m unavailable at about 1 to 2-ish, then I’m working the rest of day so texting only.” She said well I’ll text her after my nap then. “Maybe tomorrow we can do that movie… in our own houses.” She said damn it she saw right through me, “You’re getting better with trying to get closer to me.” she said

“Well I have to try since you believe I’m some bad guy.” I said

“All everyone is a bad guy… at some point in their life.” She said

“Well I’m not one; I’m just a nerd trying to get a girl to like him.” I said, she sigh my guess shaking her head at my comment. “I have to go, get back to work. I’ll text you later.” I said

“Talk you to tonight.” She said

“Yeah, talk to you later.” I said before hanging up, I smiled at my phone before putting it down on my desk. “I swear at some point I will break down your walls and make you happy.” I mumbled before turning back to my work. I need to call this place now or we might lose Dr. Carson’s business.     

I dialed the number to hospital to get them accept Dr. Carson’s help. After talking on the phone for an hour with the head of that hospital, after pleading a case as to allow a vampire doctor who is currently working on curing cancer. They agreed to allow him to do a test round for a month but one slip up with him they’ll try to sue me. I can promise them that Dr. Carson had more control over himself then so many vampires I know. Dr. Carson has been around for longer than grandparents, he has been working around humans his whole life. They have a right to be scared but I can promise on my life that he won’t hurt anyone there.

“I need to talk this over in with board but if after his test round if he meets all of the requirements and doesn’t bite anyone here then we will welcome him on our staff.” He said

“That will not be a problem, I can swear to you now, if I didn’t think he would be perfect for your hospital I would not be bothering you on the phone.” I said

“Well believe me I have thought about this I personally believe he will help us get one step closer to curing this. But you understand right a vampire around humans and blood that seems like such a bad idea. You can understand the fear we have right?” He asked

“Let me tell you this, Dr. Carson is honestly one of the best doctors we have. He has so much experience with this field he has actually performed surgery while starved for weeks. He was completely unfazed; I can promise you that he would never.” I said

“I’ll have to take your word for it; I’ve already sent the proposal over to the board.” He said

“Thank you so much for your time, I am happy we have come to an agreement.” I said

“Well when you’re persistent like this it’s hard to say no. I look forward to working with you and Dr. Carson in future.” He said before hanging up. I sighed standing up from my desk, I looked at the time to see it’s 12 pm. I’ve been on the phone talking to him for 2 hours. I need to go home now; I stood up from my desk and grabbed my coat from the back of my chair. I grabbed my phone before heading to my door, I see Angel on the phone writing down something. She looked up at me and smiled before waving goodbye to me. I waved to her before heading towards the elevator.

The ringing of my phone caused me to jump out of my bed; I looked around the room, oh crap I’m at home. I looked outside to see it was dark out I most certainly slept through my alarm, I looked at the time to see it was about 8:30pm. I slipped out of my head stretching my arms over my head; I should never have opened my balcony doors. The temperature dropped since this afternoon, I looked at my cell phone to see I had a call from Hutzel hospital. Why is the hospital calling me? I don’t have cases there, well not that I know of anyways. I pressed call back on my phone as I headed back to bed.

“Hello?” a woman answered

“May I speak to Nurse Brickner, this is Dr. Valentine.” I said the sound of shuffling filled the phone as I turned on my television to the news.

“Dr. Valentine, we need you to come to the hospital. I believe we have a case of autoimmune hemolytic anemia.” Brickner said into the phone, she sounded slightly distressed my guess from the family harassing her for answers.

“What are the symptoms?” I asked

“Well when she was brought in it was for a cardiac attack, after we got her heart beating her heart beat was rapid, low-grade fever, difficulty breathing. We have her stable for the night but her family is very upset about not knowing what is going on.” She said I sighed

“Has she woken up since arriving to the hospital?” I asked turning away from my television. They have her stable so she be good for the night, I could see if she was awake asking for questions. As for the night she should rest before I do some test and start preparing her for treatment. 

“No, she hasn’t.” Brickner said

“Okay I’ll be there first thing in the morning, if her situation changes at all over-night call me I will be right there.” I said it’s no real need for me to rush down there and wake her up. She can rest for the night because she’s going to need be in top shape for the tests. I know Nurse Brickner did what she could to find as much out as possible before having to call me. I also know how the families can be when they don’t know what is going on with their love ones.  

“Yes sir, I’ll keep you updated.” She said before hanging up, I pulled my phone away from my ear looking to see if Aundreya sent me a text back. No she hasn’t it’s not like her to ignore me like that. ‘Hey I didn’t mean to offend you,’ I sent it’s not that late so I know she’s not asleep. I got up and headed downstairs to grab myself something to eat real quick. A plate on the island of my kitchen sitting with a note on top of it, my housekeeper must have seen me asleep and made me dinner before leaving. I flicked the light on to see it’s just a sandwich; I couldn’t help but laugh at the situation.

I should really hire a cook but I’m almost never home, it would be a waste of money and time. I grabbed the note on top of the plate ‘A cup of blood in the microwave, heat for 1 minute and enjoy. Wendy’ I turned to the microwave pushing the 1 minute button. Once it went off I grabbed the cup out of it and sat at the counter, I started eating my sandwich and sipping my warm blood. Just what I need, warm cup of blood and some food, I should really start taking better care of myself. Wendy really knows how to take care of me but I can’t rely on her to do that. She’s just supposed to clean and handle the house when I’m gone for too long. 

I need to get back to bed so I can be up first time in the morning to head to the hospital. I noticed Aundreya still hasn’t texted me back, I wonder if everything is okay with her, I know she can handle herself. Maybe she just got busy with work and lost track of time. I hope everything is okay with her, I know she said she had a date with her sister. I wonder how that went; I really need to get her off my mind. I’ve having such a hard time focusing on my own life, when I so badly want her to be part of it.
