CHAPTER TWO; MEETING MR RUDE!
They all gasped and looked at each other.
"Well, you all know that Fernando Bill's passed away last year after battling with leukaemia. Alex was supposed to come over and take over immediately but he decided to stay a year again and study more. So tomorrow he will be back to take over" He said and they all nodded wondering how it was going to be the next day.
They all went back to their duty posts and soon they were on their way.
As Ariana headed out, her phone immediately rang. It was her friend Nancy. She smiled immediately and picked it up.
"Babe, I'm back from Italy already!" Nancy yelled and Ariana flinched. She moved the phone backwards and when the noise had died down. She placed it back on her ear.
"Welcome back. How was Italy?" Ariana asked smiling.
"Just come home already. I have numerous gifts for you!" Nancy giggled and Ariana smiled.
"Fine, my shift is almost ending. See you girlfriend.." She said and hung up, shaking her head as she did.
Well her bestie, Nancy Wilson is the daughter of one of the wealth businessmen in the city. Unlike her, she's damn wealthy but that didn't stop their friendship. They became close friends since their college days.
"That was Nancy right?" Nathan said from behind. Ariana sighed and turned back.
"You almost scared me.."She poured and he chuckled.
"You guys are still close?" Nathan asked again and she nodded.
"We are 5&6 so we can't be ever apart.."
"Of course, you guys were close even back in college. Funny how we meet again here.." Nathan said and they both laughed.
"So how's she?" He asked and Ariana smirked.
"Don't tell me you still have a crush on her?" She asked.
"What?!" Nathan exclaimed.
"Of course not, it's been years now..." He defended.
"Come on.." Ariana said and they both laughed.
Meanwhile Judy and Ann watched them from a corner jealously.
"She just came and she plans to steal everyone from me. I'll show her who I am.." She muttered with a smirk.
BILLS MANSION.
The mansion was the perfect definition of big, with beautiful lights surrounding it. There were water springs at each side of it giving the definition of beautiful. Neatly trimmed flowers giving it a more spontaneous look. In fact, everywhere screamed money! Wealth!
The gigantic gates opened and about three posh cars drove in. One of it was a red sports car, the door opened and the driver came out looking handsome and dashing. He was also putting on sunglasses, his hands stuck into his pockets. He smirked and looked around, then he began taking slow strides in.
The door immediately opened and he walked into the living room. A beautiful woman in her early forties was seated on the extiquite couch obviously waiting for him.
She sprang up with a smile when she saw him.
"My son.." She said and he walked up to her with a smile that revealed his perfect dimples.
"Aunt." He called and pulled her into a hug. She sighed in relief and broke the hug.
"I'm glad you are back now. Everything is settled. Now I'm at a relief. Should I call your mum and.."
"No! It's fine. I've been living perfectly without her. She didn't even bother to check up on me. Just let her be.." Alex said and she nodded.
"I prepared your favourite dishes. Are you ready to eat?" His Aunt Adele asked and he sighed.
"Not now mum, I still have a "Doctors conference online.." He smiled and then walked upstairs.
Adele sighed.
"I wish you would find someone that would bring light into your gloomy world.."
"Welcome Ari" Nancy screamed and hugged Ariana so tightly and she chuckled and hugged her back.
"I missed you so much Babe" Ariana said and chuckled and they disengaged from the hug.
"So what did you bring from Italy?!" She asked and they both smiled.
"First I'm hungry, so what did you prepare?" Ariana asked.
"I prepared Pasta, Aunt helped me too.." Nancy said.
"Guess what? You remember Nathan right?" Ariana asked and Nancy squinted her eyes and then she finally nodded.
"Yeah.."
"He's working at the hospital I was transferred to.." Ariana said and Nancy gasped.
"For real!" Nancy exclaimed.
"What? Don't tell me you still have a crush on him.."Ariana teased.
"Of course not!" Nancy interjected and they both laughed.
THE NEXT DAY
"Oh no! Pass me the hair brush!" Ariana yelled at Nancy who was laughing.
"Come on Babe! I'm late" She said and Nancy stuck out her tongue at her. Nancy actually passed the night in Ariana's house.
"I never told you to wake up late! Goodluck and face your new boss!" She yelled and walked out.
"That brat.." Ariana said and quickly brushed her hair and then picked her bag.
"Bye Nancy!" She also yelled and ran out.
She quickly packed her car and then she checked her wristwatch.
"8 more minutes to go" She said as she glanced at her wristwatch. She ran off hurriedly, her heels clucking.
She sighed and stopped panting and then resumed running.
Meanwhile Alex just arrived. He came down from the car and then sighed as he closed the car's door, he held his phone and placed it on his ear.
"Yeah. Just perform the surgery on him. He will be fine and then give him antibiotics. For the meantime I'm here, make sure to handle the hospital well. Okay bye.." He said and then hung up.
He brought his phone down from his ear and started operating on it still walking.
He began to hear whispers as usual but he was not interested. All ladies are just the same to him.
"Oh my! He's cute"
"Who's he? I don't think I have seen him ever before"
"He smells like wealth. Look at his shoes"
"Oh Gosh! His long baby eyelashes and heart shaped lips. He's really handsome"
Ariana ran more faster without even looking up. All she just wants was to get in before 8am and boom. They bumped into each other and the phone fell from Alex's hands.
Alex frowned his face in disgust when he saw that it was a lady that bumped into him.
"Oh my Gosh! I'm sorry" She said and immediately picked up the phone.
"Here" She said stretching his phone to him.
She looked up and then saw him and she froze for a second.
"The guy standing before was just.... He was just handsome, very handsome" She thought.
Ariana just had to praise his looks.
"As well as I thought. You must have been blind for a second" He said rudely jolting her out of her thoughts.
"What?" Ariana was taken aback.
"Excuse me! I apologized already so you better watch what you say and also you must have been the one blind because you bumped to me first!" She said softly yet coldly and Alex furrowed his brows and everyone gasped.
"What did you just say?" His voice came out harsh and raspy
Well Ariana was not the type to keep quiet when insulted. The both of them continued glaring at each other until they heard a voice.
"Hey Alex, you are here already.." A voice exclaimed and Ariana scoffed. She turned to see Mr Richards and Mr Anderson walking towards them.
Mr Anderson looked at Alex and then at Ariana
"Good morning Sir!" Ariana greeted with a smile.
"Oh you guys have met? Do you know him Doc Ariana?" Doc Anderson asked and she shook her head.
"No sir" She replied.
"Alex, this is one of the best upcoming neurosurgeon in this hospital. She's very good and Ariana this is Alexander Bill's, remember Mr Richard's told you about him yesterday . He's Mr Bills son" He said and everyone gasped and murmured.
Alex just scoffed and looked away.
"Oh my gosh! What did she just do? She basically insulted the owner of the hospital!" One of them muttered
"I hope you two get along well and work together" Mr Richard said . Alex scoffed again and broke off the silence.
"I guess you have to say an apology?" He said not to anyone in particular.
"I'm sorry sir but I can't apologise" She stated firmly then she walked away and there was a glint in Alex's eyes.
"What?!"
This is one of the exact reasons he hates women.
