Chapter 3

"How is your day sir El?" James asked

"Well it was great but I wonder how the store where I shopped knew that I reside at the Garden Hotel?" I ask James

"Oh we informed the mall about your presence sir, did they assist you well sir?" he ask

"Yes they did, and thank you, though it is a hassle to appoint someone to tend with my needs, you guys don't need to go that far" I saw him look at the rear-view mirror as he take a deep breath and answered.

"The president called us last night, he said that everything that is under Kairo must take care of you, since the mall is part of Kairo Internationals we told the management to look after you sir" he explained, I then sigh once more in defeat as the President and the Chairman are doing things like hell for me, I just want to live like a normal person, I don't even want to become a chairman myself at that hospital branch, I just wanted to become a surgeon and operate my patients. I wanted to work normally like any other surgeon and find my family from that picture, but they gave me so many task and I wonder how I will surprise those old geezer that their chairman is a 33 year old surgeon.

We came back to the hotel at 7pm due to the heavy traffic and Amelia took over, she even told me that the things I bought are already on my room, and by tomorrow they will fixed it to the wardrobe, I nod in response and told her that I'll have my dinner at my room, she nod and excuse herself as I proceed to the private elevator alone.

"Wait up!" someone said as he run to the closing door of the elevator

"Yow! I said wait up" he said, as his hands are on the closing door, stopping it from closing further.

"Oh! thank god" he rode the elevator and pressed the 10th floor, as far as I know the 10th floor to 12th are for entertainment purposes,

"The other elevator is out of order thankfully you rode this" he explained, I distanced myself away from him as he continue to talk

"Oh I am Dylan by the way, and you are?" he ask still running for his breath

"Not so talky are ya, anyway nice meeting you elevator man" I don't have any clue to what he's talking but he is still looking at my face, I feel intimidated though.

"You look familiar have we met before?" he ask, then the elevator reached the 10th floor, outside is a red rope hanging with a placard stating VIP, the man named Dylan walked out the elevator and there is a bar on that floor and people at the center are dancing.

"Yow! whoa whoa! how did you get in the Private elevator" said the man with a glass of beer on his right hand

"Oh! that guy helped me, though he does not talk too much" he said and pointed towards me, he's still on the door of the elevator

"Umm! will you please get off now? I can't close the door" I said and the guy beside the man with a beer look back

I lower my head as a bid of farewell though I don't know them but it is a sign of respect

"Whoa! you're talking" Dylan said and the man look straight into my face, he drop his glass of beer and the man beside him ask him what happen.

"Yow! are you okay Kyle?" Dylan ask worried, thankfully he stepped out and now the door began to close. Anyway, they seem drunk that he drop his glass of alcohol. Ahh! I really hate that smell, I do drink alcohol but once I smell it after a long night sleep I feel disgusted, but I do have a low alcohol tolerant that is why the guys at the hospital back where I work end up making me their personal driver, they even once rented a whole van just for me to drive once they get drunk and we decided to head home.

The lift proceed to the presidential suite at the 20th floor, there are only 5 units at the 20th floor, and I have the 3rd unit, for I am the 3rd owner which was able to accommodate it, only the Chairman himself can decide who lives on the 20th floor, not even the president of a country can stay in it without his approval. Such a great day, well then I need a good night sleep after dinner.

Waiting for James to arrive, it has been like 15 minutes since I step out of the entrance of the hotel, Amelia keeps on accompanying me if not for the sudden call due to a minor problem in the kitchen she might still be with me talking and keeps me entertained with stories of this country. Anyway, not long after James arrive, well sweaty to be exact, I knew something's wrong,

"What happen?" I asked

"The car broke while I was on my way, I need to call for another vehicle and wait for them to arrive and change" he explained, well it's not that I have something important to do.

"Shall we sir?" he said after opening the door of the car, I look at the guard standing near his post.

"Will you please tell Amelia that I left, and say my thanks to her, thank you" the guard nod in response, they act like robots though, it seem that the security department of this hotel has a very strict way of working, they act like some military officer where they can only move if there's a problem near their area, sheesh!.

I rode the car and told James to head to the hospital, I got my coat now and even my key card to my office, I think the secretary that the president told me is waiting at the entrance of the hospital, I don't have her number though, but I'll apologize for my delay once I arrive. It will take at least 45minutes of drive from the hotel going to the hospital.

"Good morning sir" she greeted as she bow her head, there are also few doctors behind her.

"Good morning" I replied.

She then introduce the doctors that were waiting with her, they are the chief doctors in different fields of this hospital and the others are residents.

"I am sorry for the delay, due to a minor problem I was not able to come at the exact time" I said

"It's fine sir, James called us and informed us about the car" I look at James and he nod, well it seems that they did not wait for long, anyway I told the girl named Sierra to lead me to my office.

"Sir, it's a pleasure to meet you" the chief surgeon of internal medicine walk and bens over his hand for a shake,

"It's a pleasure to meet you too" I reply, and shake his hand.

"I saw the BTT operation you did when the main branch send the recording it was superb" he began his topic and other doctors are listening as well.

"There was a problem at that time which led me to changing the operation from organ transplant to BTT, the heart of the patient was weak and few blood circulate throughout the body, hence I decided to proceed with VAD in order to produce more blood and strengthen the organs of the patient while they wait for another donor" I reply, they were attentively listening to my explanation.

"Sir, I hope you can join us on our conference the next time there's a joint conference" he said

"Of course, I am planning to ask you guys about that, I don't really like this sitting idly and doing nothing, I became a doctor to save patients not to live an extravagant life" they stop muttering their words when they heard mine.

"Haha we, I mean all of us do, we love helping those in need" his stuttering reply, well what would you expect, as a person, even a doctor get sick and gets weak and as they are getting older, their capabilities deteriorate hence all they can do is gain power.

Most doctors have the same mindset, you can't save a patient, then become something big, something with power that you can still stay as a doctor but you only walk and make rounds and drink and eat, you don't need to save a patient, you got power just tell your juniors to do the job. I may only be a doctor for a short time but I dealt with those kind of chief doctors, well it began that day I operated my first patient myself, hahah they end up becoming a house husband those old geezers. As I reach my office the doctors who accompanied me excuse themselves and made their rounds.

"Do you like your office sir?" Sierra ask.

What can I say, this is too expensive for an office.

"I am going to work here not live in it" I said, there's a mini living room, a kitchen area, a bathroom and an extension for a room, what the heck is this?

"The President told us to make things easy for you, so we reconstructed the whole room as per the president’s order" she said,

"Okay fine, anyway what's with today's agenda?" I ask

"You already met the doctors of the hospital, there's making rounds with them and meeting with the board of directors at lunch time" I nod twice before standing up and wearing my white coat.

"Then shall we make rounds then" she look at me and ask if I am not tired, well a doctor is always tired but I don't

"I will call a nurse and interns to aide you with your round, do you want me to call back the doctors?" she ask

"No need, just call the nurse and the interns of the hospital together with the 3rd year resident, and proceed to the ER floor" I said, she then paged the whole hospital using her tablet, whoa, techy ain't she, she has everything on that small tablet? Awesome.
