CHAPTER 19

"Here, if you have questions, go ask our butler." I handed him his card and before he could answer, I left him. I don't like to see his face.

I went to Andrei's room and he isn't here so I called him. My friends are still on duty and they're not available right now. I waited for Andrei and he really showed up, kind of vexed.

"What's wrong?" Andrei asked like he knows I'm sad. "You're strange, Sav" He said, sounded teasing me.

"A---ndrei. . ." My voice cracked, I pursed my lips but fuck. . . my tears really fell. I tried to stop them but they're streaming down my face.

"You're ugly when you're crying but I like it better when you're ugly." He ruffled my hair so I cried even more. I just want to lessen the pain inside me.

"You're sad. He's your ex, right? Jared told me your secret, that he's your ex. Sorry but he's the most qualified. Your safety is all that matters to me, Sav." He's caressing my back. I am not surprised. Andrei knows everything. He's close with Jared too.

"Eloise. . . she's pregnant! Of all people, why? Answer me, why?"

"I slayed med-school but your question makes me feel dumb, hahaha!" He's laughing. He's trying to console me with his laugh.

"Duh," I rolled my eyes. "Are you seeing someone, jerk? You're single for decades!" I added, I just want to change the topic because it's sickening.

"No for dating, bitch." He ruffled my hair and I stopped from crying when he's making facial expressions just to make me smile. Him and his efforts!

"Let's go downstairs. I have '99 de chateau, let's have a toast."

. . .

Monday, I went to MH with Barry. Barry's always walking after me. He's not wearing suit, I asked him not to.

"Don't come here unless you're asked to." I reminded Eloise when she came in to my room without even knocking, I mean. . . she's always like that but things are kind of different now.

"Sav, why are you suddenly mad?"

"Do I look mad?"

I don't even feel sorry for hating her without telling her the reason, I am quite toxic to her.

I befriended Joseph more, we're on the same boat and I really feel bad for him.

"How are you, Joseph?" I asked him but he just smiled.

"You know what? If things are settled, I'll get you a perfect girlfriend."

That was our conversation last day.

I stopped from walking when an idea flashed in my mind.

"Wait. . . I forgot my phone inside my bag, you get it." It's really my idea to leave my bag inside the car, Barry nodded and I continued on walking but then, I heard something that caught my attention.

"He's fine, he's just faking it." The doctor said to the man who looks furious.

"Miss Moure," The doctor smiled when she saw me, she uncomfortable with my presence. She's the GS I met inside the cafe months ago, she's the one who boasted her profession. Small world, indeed.

"Can't you see? He's suffering. Are you all useless?" Blunted the man, he's surely the guardian. How dare him call them useless when they saved lives already?

The little boy's still crying and it's annoying!

"When you called them useless, are you, by any chance, referring to yourself?" I said, mocking him.

"What? My son's sick and we're rich so don't you dare disrespect us!" I shook my head in disbelief.

"Who cares about your status? Respect is only for those who deserve it not for those who just demand it," I paused when he's now looking at me in rage. "Your child is not sick! He's faking it! Why are you insisting that he's sick? Are you a doctor? No, you don't look like one."

The man grabbed my wrist but I pushed him. He's really furious that he almost slapped me! Yes, Barry stopped him. He's quick. I rolled my eyes and snatched my phone from his pocket. He's fucking playing like a superhero, duh!

I saw how the intern and the doctor smiled secretly, tsk.

"Le---let go of me. . . let's go home, Anthony!" The man's voice shivered, good for him.

Barry held my hands and my eyes grew bigger! What the fuck?

"Are you hurt? Are you okay?"

I swallowed hard. Fuck you, Barry. He's always asking me that, how could I be okay when he's around?!

"Don't touch me! And stop asking me that! You're fucking annoying!" I pushed him. The elevator opened and I went in. He didn't follow, he's stunned. Asshole!

I turned on my phone when an another idea flashed in my mind again. I was smiling, I'll text him.

'You go home and get me a fresh juice'

I went to dad's office and he's not here so I just sat on his swivel chair while playing with my phone. I'm bored, really bored.

I checked for his reply and there was none so called him, I rolled my eyes.

"Young lady, I'm on my way now, just wait for me."

Wait? He's asking me to wait? Why? Will you still come back to me? Will you choose me? And what the fuck is wrong with me? He was just telling me to wait since he's on his way with the juice!

"Young lady are you still th---"

"Y--yes!" I said and bit my lower lip.

"I am already here, I'll end this ca---" I stopped him midway, he's already here? He's fast as lightning!

"Where exactly are you?" I asked him in between my heavy breathing.

"In front of the elevator,"

I smiled again.

"Go get my bag at the car, don't end the call."

"O---okay, young lady." I smiled even more while I am hearing noises from the other line, I guess that he's running back to the car. I waited for minutes and asked him again.

"Where are you?" And it took him seconds to answer my question.

"I'm on my way," He said, sounded like he was really running.

"Wait, I almost forgot that I don't need the bag and the juice anymore, stand still because I'll be there in a few minutes."

"W---w---wh--what?" I heard him catching his breath so I almost laugh in mere satisfaction.

"I'm just toying you around!" I decided to end the call. Toying him is fun, that's what you got, you jerk!
