Chapter 7: hello,,,baby

My alarm rung and I quickly shut it off with my eyes still closed. I then slowly opened my eyes and sat up on the bed. God why does it have to be Monday. I hate Monday so much but I still have to go to work. I stood up and lazily went to the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. Lately I've been having a toothache and I have to see a dentist soon. I walked in my closet and looked for something to wear. I wore a black pencil dress that reached slightly below my knees and it was sleeveless. I love black I usually think I'm weird because most girls like pink or white but that's not me. I looked for my black stilletos that were six inch. At least they made me a little bit taller. I'm 5'5 inch and my mom complains how short I am but what can I do. I tied my long hair backways and it was still curly and it flowed to my waist. I usually love my hair so much that's why I usually grow it up to this length. I then applied a little make up  and Once I was done I went to my study and took my laptop put it in the bag and went downstairs to have breakfast. I found my mom already in the kitchen and drinking coffee. I almost forgot my mom was here after our little fight yesterday.

"Morning honey," she greeted with a smile. I smiled back.

"Morning too mom." I said while I say at one of the stools at the counter. She handed me a cup of coffee.

"I didn't cook breakfast honey. I've just woken up." She explained. She probably slept late last night and I feel quilty a little because I probably was one of the reason if not at all the only reason she stayed awake late. "Honey I'm so sorry about last night. Please do not stay mad at me." 

" I'm sorry too mom I think I overeacting a little. I'm planning to talk to someone about the issue and see what happens."I informed and I could see her looking at me with those proud eyes of hers. I love it when my mom looks at me like that because I always know I'm doing the right thing.

"You'll do good honey because you're my daughter. Mine and no one else. You heard that." She hugged me and I almost cried. 

" Mum I can't mess up my mascara right now. I don't want to cry and I will be late for work if you don't let me go now." She kissed my cheeks and let go of me.

"You look so beautiful my baby."she said as she held my shoulders looking at me with those proud eyes."ooh and your phone and keys are in the living room. I just wanted you to know since I know how forgetful you can be.

"Thanks mom. I'll leave now."I said standing up.

"Mmmh go make some money baby."she answered though I didn't ask a question.

"It's helping people mom. It's not about money to me.." I said as I closed the door and stepped out. I went to the garage and got in my car. I put my handbag at the backseat the way I usually do. It's a habit that I adopted and now I'm used to it. I connected my phone to my car then opened my music app from my phone so the music would play in the car. I started my car and drove as I listened to doja cat's songs. I reached at my place of work and entered the elevator, pressed the 20th floor button. My place of work is like a hospital actually it's a hospital but it has different departments and my department is a psychiatry and we are only two in our department. My other colleague is a man. People started getting in the elevator at different floors and I just concentrated on my phone. When the robotic voice said 20th floor I looked up and saw the door opening. I got out and walked to my office. I greeted my secretary and entered my office. I sat on my chair and placed my laptop and bag on the desk and looked at the files that I needed to read. After a minute I heard a knock and my secretary came in.

"Ma'am those files are all the appointment made to see you today. The first client is Alex Scott who has a three hour session, the rest have less than an hour and you can read their files." My secretary explained. I really love my secretary so much she does her job quite well and I love her for it.

"Hey Angela, the client with the three hour session, is he new?" I asked to confirm. A three hour psychiatry session in this hospital one is required to pay a lot.

" Yes he's new madam and he's the Alexander Scott." She said looking at me as if it's obvious for me to know him.

"What I'm I supposed to know him or something Angela.?"

"Yes madam he's the famous billionaire. I didn't know even billionaire would need a psychiatrist. I really want to see him. People usually say that he's handsome but unapproachable and he loves women too. I have never seen him even in pictures so I'm eager to see him madam. Good thing I'm your secretary." Angela said with an eager voice.

"What if he's not the person you're anticipating for. You've never seen him so how will you know it's him. He maybe someone having the same name as his but he's not him." I told Angela and she pouted.

"You are right. Can you ask him if he's the famous billionaire and then tell me latter. I really admire him for his hard work but not his behaviour. I really want to know him maybe I can take a selfie with him later if he's the Alexander Scott." Angela said wriggling her eyebrows.

"We'll see about that Angie now will you let me work in peace now. Shoo I need to go through these files."Angela closed the door behind her and I started working. I looked at the wall clock and saw it was already eight thirty. My first client is late for his first session. I can sense lack of seriousness from this one. How do someone get late for his first session. First impression matters. At least I would know he's serious about this. I continued reading the files and I heard another knock and I assumed it was Angela so I told her to come in. But I was shocked when I heard his voice

"Hello,,, baby. Missed me like I missed you?" He said and I couldn't believe my ears. I'm hallucinating right? Right. My heart was now beating so hard that I thought it would jump from it's cavity. I was so scared of looking up in fear that my guess was right. I secretly breathed in to calm my nerves and face the innevitable. After some seconds I looked at him expressionless and I saw him smiling like a psycho he is, usually I welcomed clients warmly but this guy here is a stalker and I'm not ready for his stupid game. If I knew it was him I would have called off this meeting and refer him to my male colleague. But I have to remain professional so I smiled a smile that did not reach my eyes.

"Welcome sir....." I pretended to look at his file to confirm his name."ooh sir Alex. Please have a seat at the couch and I'll join you shortly. I'm doctor Kimberly Johnson." I introduced as I stood to shake his hands but he just looked at my hands and didn't shake them. I was embarrassed. Great Kim just great. Now the psycho has got issues with shaking hands. I thought as I retracted my hand and tried to regain my composure. I took his file and followed him and sat at the lone chair opposite the couch where he sat. 

"Would you like coffee, tea, juice, wine, whiskey or water?"I asked him but he just looked at me and didn't answer. He had not said a word except for when he came in and he's been looking at me actually staring at me and it makes really uncomfortable. Since he said nothing I just called Angela to bring in two cups of coffee one for him and the other for her. I pretended to be reading his file waiting for Angela to bring coffee. This is really weird. In no time Angela came in with the coffee both black and then got out leaving us alone.

"So Mr. Alex you're here for anger management huh." I said still looking at his file." I hope you are comfortable enough and we may start the session." I said as I looked at him and gave a faint smile. He still did not talk. How I'm I supposed to talk alone for fucks sake." Sir I'm afraid I may not be able to help you if you don't talk to me." I said all serious and angry but I didn't show it. It's part of my job to keep my feelings in check. He just stared at me. " Sir if you came here to just stare at me then you are wasting my time and someone else's."
