Chapter 17
Chapter 17 I drove to work in my new car because Why not? The fact that I only mentioned it to him once that I’m thinking of buying the car, and he goes ahead to buy it for me made me fall in love with him all over again. Pulling over in my spot, I got down and headed for the elevator only to run into Dr. Sarah who was equally on her into the building. She smiled warmly the moment she sighted me. “Good morning ma’am,” I feel odd when she calls me that “Please call me Lily or Ms. Bernard.” She is twenty–years older than I am, so why call me Ma’am. We went into the elevator together. “Nice ride.” She commented and I smiled in response. Pulling out my phone, I texted Jake, thanking him again for the car. However when I pocketed my phone, a thought came to me. Ryan. How he has become a thorn in my flesh without even putting in much effort. “Can you please free any time for someone today?” She glanced up from her own phone and stared at me. “I am a fertility specialist which means the emergency doesn’t have to do with your kids.” Her head tilted. “Is the slot for your” I shook my head which made her brows furrow the more. I thought we all agreed on not calling for favor shots for someone!! I know; but I don’t want him to keep showing up around me. “I know, but this is important. Can you free up something for you.” She nodded. “Of course, you are the boss, so why not. I’ll free up my noon for you.” I smiled appreciatively at her. “Thank you so much” The elevator pinged and she got off, heading to her station while I rode up to my office floor. Around one in the afternoon, my phone rang. When I saw it was an unsaved number, and it was my work line ringing, I didn’t hesitate to because sometimes, I am called by 911 emergency unit. Picking up the call, I placed the phone between my car and elbow while I continued writing on what I think about a medical condition. “Lily,” Just one word. One syllable and I could tell who was speaking, “I am at the reception floor, can you come see me?” There is no asking him how he got this number. Almost everyone in Canada has this number; it’s more like your second option of 911 fails. “I have no business seeing you Sir.” I replied in a diplomatic tone, “if you have a problem, report it to the front desk. Without waiting for his comment, 1 disconnected the call. The phone rang again and again until I angrily picked the call. “Dr. Bernard,” the familiar voice of Dr. Steve called out, “we need you in the emergency room asap. Rushing off my seat. I grabbed my coat and ran to the emergency whilst cussing Ryan in my head for making me refuse answering that call thinking
it’s him. By the end of the day, I was more than exhausted, Dragging my get to the garage, my feet remained planted on the same spot when I saw Ryan standing next to my car with his hands stuffed into his pocket. Why is he hell–bent on frustrating my life? Biting my lips hard in suppressed anger, I approached him. “I thought left.” Grinning, he turned and gestured towards my car. “Nice ride you have here.” How did he even know this car was mine! “I told you and you refused, so I had to wait.” He rocked on his heels. “You see, I always get what I want, and when I say I want to see you, I have to see you.” you to come see me “you are insane.” I retorted. Pulling my key out of my purse, I unlocked the car and headed for the door, but he blocked my way, stopping me from getting to my door. “I just wanted to thank you for making it possible to see Dr. Sarah today” *I only did that because I didn’t want you to see you anywhere around me I deadpanned, keeping a distance between us. I am certain that if any paparazzi should capture the moment, the news will spread all over the internet He chuckled arrogantly. “I am Ryan Williams, and I don’t like owing people favors. He dipped his hand into his pocket and puffed his chest out. “What do you want from me in exchange for this favor? Name it and I will make it happen Tilting my head, I racked my brain for something until it clicked. “I want you to disappear and never show up before me.” His grey eyes danced around with morking amusement. “I wish I could do that Lily, but I have a steady appointment with Dr. Satah for so I am going not only be in Canada for a month, I will be showing up in your hospital, so there is nothing we both can do about that” I scoffed. “I see you have not gotten over making empty promises,” one month 11:32 AM Chapter 17 My muttered words made his jaw clench, his amusement disappearing slowly. “What promise did I make that I didn’t fulfill?” 170 “To death do us part?” I mocked, “To love and to cherish? In sickness and in health?” the more I
listed the more his face darkened with anger. I am not afraid of him hitting me; he might have been an asshole in the past, but he never hit me besides, he can’t try shit with me now, I have enough money to get him arrested, even if it is just for twenty–four hours. “I have another request,” Pulling his left hand from his pocket, he pinched the bridge of his nose. “Let’s hear it.” I know his pride won’t let him say no to me this time. if anything is going to bring the downfall of the Williams family, it will most definitely be their pride. “I want you not to show up anywhere close to my residence. That way, I will keep him away from my triplets. He stared at me intently for a moment then chuckled. “Fine” Despite this reassurance, I felt strangely odd because there is a look in his eyes that says, he is thinking of cooking up something else.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
