10. The Instagram Fiasco

CHAPTER 10 : THE INSTAGRAM FIASCO

"You can not leave." Tyler said in as professional a way as he could.

"What do you mean?" Eleanora asked, her anger returning.

"Mr. Laurent has asked you to stay with him 24×7. And the hospital will notify the same to you at earliest." Tyler answered.

And as if on cue, Eleanora's phone rang, the caller being chairman of the hospital himself.

"Dr. Rosenheim, I beg you, please don't leave Mr. Laurent's room!" The chairman couldn't even hide his panic.

"But Sir, I can not-" Eleanora was still speaking when the chairman cut her off.

"They have held my family hostages and if I don't stop you, they will kill them! Please please be understanding of my situation. I don't know what exactly happened between you two, but I promise to help you out as much as I can. Just bear with him for my sake this one time!!" This was her first ever time to witness the chairman in such a panicked state.

Eleanora shut her eyes tight, her head aching from all the drama.

"Okay." She replied while massaging her temples, ready to face the consequences of her momentary anger.

"Thank you.. thank you so much! I will do anything that you want, just don't anger Mr. Laurent again." The chairman said before hanging up the call.

"What other orders do I have from his majesty Lord Alexander?" Eleanora asked as she turned around, making Tyler smile a little before following her to Alexander's room.

Eleanora straightaway walked inside Alexander's room, not stopping by his bed before making her way to the sofa, where she sat up straight, clearly pissed but still trying to calm herself down.

"Miss Big Talks, how did it go?" Alexander asked with a smirk, his anger soothing a little after making her suffer.

And at that moment, Eleanora had no other wish than to wipe that devilish smirk off his face.

"What should we do next, boss?" Tyler asked after entering the room.

"Eleanora will be staying in this room 24×7, so make similar arrangements." Alexander said, ignoring Tyler and looking at Eleanora.

"I can stay for the daytime, but I'll return home at night. I have my family." Eleanora said through the mask that she was still wearing.

She could not afford to show her face to Alexander, but if she was to stay with him the way he wanted, hiding her face would be next to impossible.

"Should we bring your family here as well, Dr. Clumsy?" Alexander asked, in his all magnetic voice, that smirk still pasted on his face.

And at that moment, Eleanora had no other bigger desire than to wipe that bloody smirk off his face.

"You are doing no such thing." Eleanora said, trying to compose herself as much as she could, as involving her family was the last thing she wanted to do.

"That's great. Tyler, make necessary arrangements-" Alexander was speaking when Eleanora interrupted.

"I need to make a trip back home. I haven't bought anything with me." Eleanora said, hoping she could buy some time to mentally prepare herself.

"Good thing you reminded me. Tyler, go buy some decent clothes for Miss Eleanora, this dress has been damaging my eyesight for so long now." Alexander said before searching for his phone before remembering what fate it had faced moments ago and looked at the floor where it lay in pieces.

"Here boss." Tyler said before passing him a brand new phone of the same model, all data already backed up.

Alexander nodded, his type of gesture for thank you, before starting the phone and getting himself busied in it.

On the sidelines, Tyler had a weird expression, observing the kind of conversation that was happening between his boss and Dr. Rosenheim.

Eleanora, similarly not wanting to get into another trap by Alexander, opened her phone, replying to some important mails before scrolling instagram.

"Plug in headphones." Alexander said amidst one of the romantic reels she was watching.

"I don't have them." Eleanora replied, still busy in watching the date vlog by one of her favourite content creators.

"Then stop using instagram." Alexander said, his focus completely on Eleanora now.

'Lastly we went to this cute cafe where I proposed to her with a heart shaped chocolate candy and she said Yes!' The man said while 'Lover by Taylor Swift' was being played in the background.

"You can not restrict me from my right to social media." Eleanora said lightly, giving him one glance before reverting to her reels.

Alexander Pissed Laurent, furiously typed something on his phone, and the next moment, Eleanora's phone went blank, before Alexander's image wearing an all black suit, with the best of facial features appeared on her screen.

"Alex you can't-" Eleanora raised her voice when someone interrupted her.

"Miss Collins you can't-"

"Alexander! Oh my god-" and a female wearing a thigh high black bodycon dress, paired with a pair of sunglasses and black heels entered the room, taking both Eleanora and Alexander by surprise, negatively.

"Boss, Miss Collins didn't listen to me-" Tyler tried to explain but Alexander brushed him off.

"It's okay. You may go now." Alexander said while Tyler nodded and retreated.

"You look so thin and pale! God I was so worried about your health that I cancelled my shoot at the last moment and flew down from Country Wade!" Astoria Collins said, who was a mid range actress, and a girl who thought that she was Mrs. Alexander Laurent.

"That wasn't needed." Alexander said lightly, his gaze shifting back to Eleanora.

"How can I not-" Astoria followed his line of sight, before shutting her mouth after watching another female in the room.

Alexander was famous for not letting any female within range of twenty metres from his surroundings, but the doctor in front of her was leisurely scrolling her phone, which was definitely not a regular sight.

"And she is?" Astoria questioned suspiciously.

"Meet Dr. Eleanora who saved my life yesterday. She is so hardworking that she will be staying with me 24×7 to monitor my health properly." Alexander explained sarcastically, his eyebrow raised, as if challenging Eleanora.

But Eleanora was not interested in re-meeting the person who had played another important role in making her life hell. If Alexander was number one reason for Eleanora to commit suicide, Astoria definitely secured the second place.

She planted enough seeds of hatred in each Laurent family member that they were enough to bring her trouble even when Eleanora hadn't done anything.
