Victoria's POV
I clicked on his number and dialed it before placing it on my ear.
It rang a few times before it was picked.
''Victoria?'' he asked to be sure.
''Yeah.'' I replied and nervously ran my fingers through my ear.
''Why are you calling, is something.'' he asked
''No, I just went through the phone and decided to give you a call.'' I replied.
''Oh, okay.''he replied and sighed heavily.
Curiously I asked''Is everything okay.'' I asked those questions when I noticed the tiredness in his voice.
''Yes, at the office right now,so much work to be done.'' he murmured tiredly.
''Oh, I wish I could help.'' I murmured to myself but he heard me.
''Just be With me, that's all I need.'' he muttered those words in a serious tune.
Hearing those words from me a small smile cripes my face, but I quickly wipe it off.
''When are you coming home.'' I asked
''At night, but you can call me if you need anything.''
''I'm not a baby, I can take care of myself.'' I murmured.
He chuckled over the phone before speaking up.
''Alright, just take care of yourself.''
''I will.'' I replied
''Alright, I have to go.''he said those words almost like a plead
''Alright, bye.'' I muttered those words and ended the call.
I kept the phone back on the bed and went for the laptop, I put it on went through it for a while before switching it off and went to bed.
''Ahh.'' I exclaimed in pains as I stood up from the bed, I checked the time and noticed it was pass 2pm.
I left the room and went downstairs to the sitting room, I collapsed on the couch as I gently massaged my head.
''Are you okay.'' He asked
"'No, I replied the cook and closed my eyes.
I noticed him took in a deep breath before moving away from me.
''You should go back to your room.'' he spoke almost like a plead.
''Why.'' I asked
He stared at me for a while contemplating on what he should say.
''You look sick, you should get some rest.'' he flashed me a weak smile.
I stared at him curiously before standing up from the couch.
''Can you get me some painkillers.'' I begged
''Yeah, sure.'' he smiled at me and walked away.
With heavy feet, I dragged my legs back to my room.
I lay on the bed and tried closing my eyes, but the pains in my head was unbearable.
I groaned in pains and went for the drawer in my room, I opened the drawer and took out some painkillers from my medicine.
I put some painkillers in my mouth and drank it with some water.
I lay back on the bed and tried getting some sleep, but it wasn't working rather I noticed I was feeling cold again but this time it was stronger
With heavy feet I stood up from the bed, walked to my closet and took out thick stockings and put it on.
Tiredly I lay on the bed and forced myself to sleep.
