A Woman Hopelessly In Love - Chapter 9 An Offer.

She was astonished and highly angered by his words and she was about to blurt out, when her Uncle held her arm and dragged her out of the room, excusing them politely and saying ” Shirlz! I need to have a word with you ” She zipped her mouth and let uncle drag her out but she didn’t fail to see the bloody assholes smirk. Huh her blood was boiling and she needed to vent.

Uncle dragged her and halted once they were alone on the staircase in the fire exit. He said in a very low and pleasing way ” I know you wanna chop his head off! But just listen me out. Ok! I never wanted to say these words to you … But… Can u please do this as a favor for me? I already told you it happened under my watch. Micheal was my responsibility I am under so much guilt. And when I heard Micheal recommend you I knew you would do your best. I want you to do this for me. Please can you?”

Shirley sighed, calmed herself and held Uncle’s hand in hers and said” You need not say please. I am, who I am all because of you. Ok! I will take the offer and make him better. But I have few conditions. And you will explain it to him and speak to Mom.” She hugged him and was about to leave when she remembered something from what he just said. She turned swiftly towards him and asked in surprise ” You just now said , Micheal recommended ME ? What did you mean by that.” Uncle replied hastilyn” when he got hit and I was rushing him in the car to the helicopter , he signed me to come near and whispered in my ear ” take me to Gregory Hospital, Dr Shirley Shaw is the one you need for me.” And then he became unconscious. ”

She was in disbelief for sometime and unconsciously started walking towards the lobby. She was deep in her thoughts and didn’t notice Mr. Derrick Marshal walking towards her. Before she could dash into him he with his two fingers touching her forehead and stopped her. He taunted ” What are you thinking so much that you were gonna carelessly dash into someone? ”

She was angered by his gesture but couldn’t contemplate herself in time to respond verbally. But just smacked his hand aside and screamed ” Don’t touch me! ” And walked off. She walked a few steps and without turning said ” I would like to speak to you about your offer, once you are done with your work here please do come to my office so that we can settle this.” Saying that and not even caring to wait for her response she walked off in a hurry.

All Mr Marshall’s bodygaurds and employees were left speechless. Nobody has dared to raise thier voice in front of there Boss. He would cut of the tongue which does so. He was the most arrogant and cold Bussinessman in the country He owned most of the big IT companies , restaurants, Hospitals and almost every government construction contract was his. He was 35years old but still the most eligible bachelor nomiated by the most recognised business and fashion magazines in the country. Nobody dared to provoke him. But to there suprise there Boss was not angry at the Doctor but his face showed rather an intrigue which is another thing that is so harmful and deadly. That’s the way he eyed his prey… that can’t be good for the Doctor.

He called ” Patrick!” . Everyone was waiting for him to explode. ” I am going to meet Dr Shaw make all the things ready . And make arrangements for Dr Shaw’s resignation, handover and accommodation at my Villa.”he said all this in a low pitched tone. It just send thrills through his secretary’s spine. He shivered and replied ” But Sir…. she hasn’t agreed.” He responded ” Don’t question just do as I say.” Patrick responded quickly with sweat dripping from his forehead ” Yes sir! I am on it.”

Mr Marshall walked in his normal pace towards the elevator his bodygaurds followed him. He got into the lift and reached the desired floor. As he walked towards Dr Shaw’s OPD room. His bodygaurd approached the secretary and informed them about the visit, the secretary made a hurried call to Dr Shaw looking at the person standing behind. She then responded ” Sir! You can go inside , Ma’am will see you now.”
