Chapter 20- A Dark Morning
"My Mom, what happened to her?” I asked as I quickly rushed out of my room heading for my Mom's room.
The doctor was already there which I was grateful for.
“What's wrong with her doctor?” I asked as I quickly rushed to my mom's side and held her hand, she was cold to touch and that scared me.
“ She's going to be fine but her blood pressure has gone up tremendously, I don't know why it would suddenly kick up like that, the last time I checked she was doing just fine and then now this,” The doctor said as I watched her busy herself with my mother.
“ Why did all this happen? You've been giving her her medications right Agnes?" I turned to her maid.
" Yes Miss Miller, I've been giving her her medications, I didn't miss a day,” She said without missing a beat and I believed her.
“ We'll have to take her to the hospital and put her under proper examination because most of the things I really need to take care of her are not here," The doctor said as she started packing her bag.
“ That's not a problem, as long as she will be fine, that's all I need to know," I said.
“ Miss Miller, you know I can't lie to you about your mom's health when I know how much she means you, your mom's condition at the moment isn't fine but it's not life threatening,” She said.
That didn't make me feel any better, I just wanted my mom to be alright, I wanted her to be as healthy as she used to be.
“ Please take care of her," I said to the doctor and she nodded before two of her team members came into my mom's room with a stretcher, then lifted her and put her on the stretcher as they carried her out.
My mom used to be very happy and bubbly, I just have a feeling that my dad's death was one of the reasons her health started to deteriorate badly.
I walked with them until they put my Mom inside the ambulance. Her maid followed them but I stayed back.
I wanted to go with her, I really wanted to but I couldn't, my Mom would understand and support me. I just got made the CEO and people like uncle Garry were looking for opportunities to find loopholes in whatever I do. I'll just have to visit her after work today.
I walked back to my room already feeling emotionally exhausted and drained. It was just morning, I knew I was going to be getting angry at every little thing today.
I got dressed for work as I sat in the backseat of my car and the driver started the car and drove out of the mansion.
I couldn't stop thinking about my mom so I decided to call Agnes.
“ Yes Miss Miller," She said as soon as she picked up the phone.
“ How's my mom doing?" I asked.
“ The doctor said she's better but she has to be here for some days to make sure that she's okay, we wouldn't want any surprises," She said and I nodded but realized she couldn't see me.
“ Alright, please take care of her, do not leave her side okay," I said.
“ Yes Miss Miller, I'll be by her side, it's a promise,"
“ Good," I said before I ended the call.
We got held in traffic and I patiently waited for the traffic to stop so we could be out of here.
We finally reached the office thirty six minutes later than the usual time I get to the office as I stepped out of the car while the driver drove off to park.
I walked into the company as my employees greeted me and I gave them a simple head nod, I wasn't feeling myself today.
I got into the elevator and pressed the button for my floor. When I reached, the first thing I noticed was that my office door was open.
What was that man doing inside my office?
I walked to my office but stopped in shock when I noticed a group of people busy with changing the things in my office and…and everything looked awful.
“ What are you guys doing in my office?!" I asked and that was when they all noticed me as they all turned their eyes to me.
" Good morning Miss Miller, I'm just following your orders and changing the interior like you requested,” My assistant said.
" You're what? Did I ever send you something like this? Why the fuck are you so dumb? Why?” I asked in anger.
" Excuse me, Miss Miller, you asked for your office to be changed to your taste and I could remember you call me two or three nights ago that you sent me pictures of how you want your office to be but you didn't pick any particular one, you told me to pick, yesterday I brought people to change everything and you said you didn't like what they brought and today you still don't like this one, great,” He said looking tired of the situation.
" What? You think I talk too much?" The look in his eyes told me the answer was ‘yes’
“ If you do what you're supposed to do I wouldn't walk into the office in the morning and get angry but you don't do anything right. You want me to applaud you or what? You call this horrible thing you have here interior design? Do any of these things look like something that fits my taste?” I asked as I walked to my table and kept my bag.
The interior team just looked at me like they wanted the ground to swallow them, I wanted that too.
“ Get all these things out of my office, until you have something worth my time to present, don't come near my office, out now!" I commanded and they quickly started to carry the things they could one by one and my assistant just watched them quietly.
It took them some time to take the things out and when they were done, I felt better.
“ Is there anything you would like to say?" I asked my assistant who refused to move from his spot even after the interior team was done taking their garbage out.
He just looked at me with a promise in his eyes and then he walked out of my office.
Yeah, like I should be scared.
