Chapter 10: CURBING MY STP

Once Lawrence park the car, I got out to be envelope in a hug, I know this perfume, it Elizabeth, sister have been waiting for you all day, why don't you leave the office in time, when will you stop stressing yourself up. Elizabeth how are you, I hug her back sincerely.

I miss you Mina, and I miss you too, how was your trip, it was fine, and about leaving the office late, I actually came early today this is the normal closing hour, what normal closing hour, but sister you are not a normal employee, you are the owner and can leave anytime you like.

That will be neglegence of duty, come on Mina you are always been too serious, let go in I have a lot to tell you and I also got you some gift, awwn that's so nice of you Elizabeth, thank you. We went in linking our arms together.

Good evening mom, you are welcome Mina, I see that your sister wait is finally over, she's been waiting for you all day, am sorry I have a lot to do at the office especially with the upcoming project, yes Daddy told me about it, Lizzy said holding my hand, don't worry sister am going to give you all the support you need, I will be glad I replied.

So Mina come here and let's plan your Sisters welcome party, ok mom we all gather round the table and discuss the whole welcoming thing, God am so tired already, so Mina we agreed that you will be in charge of the flowers and the table setting, alright mom since we do not have enough time and it a little family and friends gathering, it can be held by weekend.

Yes weekend it is then, I will Inform your father so he can send out the invites, she left the living room to Dad's study. Mina who are you inviting so I can put it down, I don't have much people to invite, you can give me two or three invites, okay sister, I will leave now cause I have a long day, thank you sister, you are welcome, I gave her a hug again before going to my room.

The next day after work I went to the florist that Mom told me about. You are welcome Miss, the attendant receive me with a pleasant smile, am here to receive the dinner flowers on behalf of Madam Bernard, I inform the attendant, okay Miss, here are the flowers, thank you I accept the bundle of flowers and take a smell hmmm it gives off a nice smell, I rub my hands on them compelled by the smell. Thank you I will leave now, I put the flowers in back sit and joined Lawrence at the drivers side.

Miss are you okay Lawrence ask me out of the blue, am fine why do you ask, your body miss, my body?, I checked my hand... Omg there are reddish spots on my hand, is this what I think it is, my allergies but I didn't touch or smell Aster, neither did I eat peanut, did I. I checked the bundle of flowers looking for Aster but it definitely not there.

I started robbing my hands on my body afraid to scratch and makes the effect worse. Lawrence you drop me off at the hospital then you can take the flowers home, okay ma'am, the car screech when Lawrence turn away from the highway to the hospital. When should I come and pick you up miss, Lawrence ask me while I drop in front of the hospital.

Never mind, Evelyn and I have a late evening outing so she will drop me home after, oka miss. I entered the hospital still robbing my hands all over my body walking hastily to the pain management unit I bump into someone and almost feel . Miss are you okay, I look up it the doctor. I mentally face palm myself.

Why do I keep bumping into him when he's not a wall or a pole.

Erickson Pov.

After packing my bag, I off my coat and hang it on the wall, stretching my whole body, I had a long long day, picking up my bag I signed out and inform the resident doctor assisting him to take over. If it an emergency that you can't handle then give me a call. Okay doctor, good.

Have a good day doctor nurse Abigail greets me and rest well, thank you, I don't know what's about her she's always all over me asking if I need this or that, she was even willing to give me a tour round the center when Josh decides too. Bam! my bag fell when someone who likes to bump into people bump into me again .

I quickly grab the person before falling to the hard floor, urg! guess who it is, it my STP. I straightened her up, am sorry doctor, it okay, why are you he........ I stop mid sentence noticing the spots and swells on her body. It seems you are about leaving she said, yes I said in my head but.... not anymore

No I reply, am not, still very well around come and let's talk about that rash on you, she followed me back to my unit, doctor did you forget any.......I Put my finger on my lip sushing nurse Abigail up, handling my bag to the resident doctor, I began attending to her. Nurse please give her an allegra first and let see how she reacts, okay sir.

Miss please follow me, I took her to the ward and assign her a bed, doctor are you keeping me here she ask me, I look at her for some minutes, yes I am even though am not I lied to see her reaction, she's only experiencing a mild reaction and the drugs alone will do. Please doctor I really need to go. Hun you really need to go. Okay go, go on I point my hand towards the entrance.

But have not been treated she look perplex, am becoming fed up, what is your problem you said you are leaving and I ask you to go then you are asking for treatment again. She was surprise at my reaction, clutching her two hands together she look nervous, am sorry doctor I didn't mean to offend you. I taught you will just give me some drugs and then I will leave.

Is this your first time having a reaction like this, no doctor I have something like this years ago, and how many days did you use at the hospital, three days doctor. So now you want to leave, you can leave but I won't give you any medication. I guess I have no choice then, she said lieing on the bed. I laughed at her inwardly, I manage to curb my STP.

Mina's pov.

What do I do, but I can't stay here for three days, I know it for my own good but my one month is going gradually I now have less than 27days, am sure Dad is going to invite all the shareholders to the dinner and this is my chance to speak with them.

This will be a great opportunity having all of them together under same roof and with the help of my uncle am sure he will come too. I can't just lazy around here doing nothing, should I just go, no I think I need to run, seeing the doctor not leaving my side. Urgh! What's his problem, at least it my body not his I keep thinking about a way out.

The doctor keep standing at my bed side looking at me as if am a caged bird, I think I need to run....
