Chapter 14

Tony passed the medicine to Lilian and walked to his boss's study.

Lina was done with her breakfast and took her medicine.

"Tony" she called him as he walked past her again.

"Yes Miss Williams"

"Ahh, can you drop me home... Please" she said.

"I would not mind but the boss hasn't said so," he said.

"Huh?" she let out and noticed Avril walk out of his study.

"Tony you can go ahead" he said and his assistant obeyed.

Lina found herself staring back at Avril.

"Did you take your medicine?" he asked.

She nodded, Lilian helped me "

"Okay, if you need anything ask her I will be in the study "he said.

"It's okay, maybe Tony can drop me home, "she said.

"Why? "

"Because I need to go to get ready "she muttered.

"To go where? "he asked walking to the seat opposite her and then sat down.

"To.. to go to work "

He smirked," You're either stupid or forgetful. You're injured and the doctor just said you can move around until it's healed but here you are saying this"

Lina bit her lips looking at her injured heel.

"I forgot about that "she murmured.

"So your not stupid but forgetful, "he said

She nodded and he laughed. Lina found herself smiling seeing him laugh.

"If you want anything ask Lilian she will help and if it's more important you can ask me "he said.

"Okay," she said, "thank you "

"Lilian "he called and she appeared." Please help Miss Williams with anything she needs and if you need me am in my study "

She glanced at Lina and smiled," With please, Mr Alexander".

After he walked off Lina turned to Lilian," Can you please help me go have a bath "

Lilian nodded.

...

After he bath Lina found she had nothing to change in. But Lilian walked in with a white shirt.

Lina moved back," Am sorry but who is that? "

"Mr Alexander, he said you can put this on as I wash your " answered Lilian.

"No, am sorry Lilian but am not putting that on. I cant" she said.

"So you want to stay naked or stay here all day, "Lilian said.

She looked around," this bathroom is huge and smells nice I can stay here "

Lilian laughed," What is wrong is the shirt not to your liking? "

Lina raised her hands," No, it's good very good but very expensive too ".

She told Lilian ain't how she had to buy the things she had used the first night she stayed over.

"My account is now empty and I can't ask my brothers for money, "she said.

Lilian sighed with a smile," Okay let me go get you something else "

Lina nodded after Lilian helped her to the bed and walked out.

Lina decided to dry her hair as she waited.

A knock came at the door," It's okay Lilian you can come in "she said.

"It's Avril, "the one at the door said.

"Ahh, what are you doing... I mean what do you need? " she stammered.

"Can I come in? "he asked.

Grabbing the bed covers Lina used them to cover her half-covered body in a towel.

"Su... sure "Avril opened the door and walked in. He noticed her panicked face and messy bed. A smile crept to his face and Lina blinked in surprise.

"Lilian tell me you don't want to change into my clothes, do you want to stay like that until Tony returns with your clothes, "he asked.

"Tony? My clothes "she muttered noticing the rejected shirt in his hand.

"I told him to go meet your roommate and get you some since you can't go there yourself "he answered.

She looked up at him," Okay, thank you ".

"So now put this on and get out of those covers, I need you in my study in twenty seconds, "he said throwing the shirt to her.

"Twenty "she repeated.

"Mmm, so stop dwelling and get dressed "he said moving back to the door.

Lina sighed and loomed down at the shirt.

"But it's too big "she murmured.
