Chapter 39- The Sheep-Wolf
“ Miss Miller! Ariana!" I called as I rushed to arrogant Ariana on the bathroom floor. I quickly took the towel that had fallen off her as I covered her body trying my best not to look at her nakedness then I slowly lifted her in my arms as I walked to the bed.
I gently laid her on the bed then I used the blanket to cover her as my eyes went to her head that had a little blood stain.
What happened?
Did she fall down coming out of the shower?
I brought out my phone to quickly call for a doctor to be sent up to her room then I walked back to the bathroom and took a wet towel as I returned to her and cleaned the blood on her head.
She made a sound and I couldn't help but breathe in relief, she was alive, I was thinking the worst, what would I tell Mr. Miller if anything were to ever happen to her?
The doorbell rang and I quickly went to open the door as a man walked in with a bag.
“ Someone asked for a doctor,"
“ Yes, please follow me," I said as I led him to arrogant Ariana on the bed.
" What happened?" He asked.
“ I don't know, I just walked in and found her on the floor," I said as he started checking her wrist and then her eyes.
“ It seems she must have slipped, it's a good thing you found her on time, things like this that seem minor could actually cause death," My fear exactly, I don't know what I was going to tell the Miller family, where will I start explaining from?
The doctor checked her and I just watched, she was beginning to stir which means that she would soon wake up.
I thanked the doctor when he was done as I walked him to the door, the only instruction he gave was for her to take enough rest for the day and she would be in good shape.
I returned to the bed as I stood by her side looking down on her. I was supposed to be at a meeting but I couldn't leave her, she was my boss after all, we'll just apologize for our absence.
I have to watch over her and make sure she's doing alright.
I was about to turn when she groaned and then her eyes slowly peeled opened.
“ What happened?" She asked as her hand went to rub her head.
“ Ouch, why does it look like I'm having a bump here, what happened?" She asked in confusion as she looked at me waiting for an explanation.
“ I think you slipped and fell down, I found you on the bathroom floor,"
“ What?! On the floor? Was I… was I…" I know what she was going to ask.
“ You were, but I swear I didn't see anything, I covered you with your towel and brought you to bed and then I covered you with the blanket," I said as she slowly lifted the blanket seeing that she was only in her towel.
“ Fuck," she cursed softly in annoyance but I heard her.
“ We have a meeting this morning, what's the time?" She asked as she tried to get up from bed but she staggered as she held her head with a groan.
“ Miss Miller, the doctor said it's best if you rest, so going for the meeting is out of question and besides we're already late," I said. I hope she doesn't suddenly turn into a tigress insisting on wanting to go out.
That would be very bad because if anything were to happen to her beyond this door, it would definitely reach the media and that was the last thing I wanted.
“ Then I have to go see them, just to show them my face, they're going to think I'm incompetent or something, this is my first time representing the Miller's Cooperation in something like this and I can't be absent," she said as she tried to stand again.
" Miss Miller I understand where you're coming from but please know that your health is very important to the Miller's Cooperation and you don't seem so good, you have to rest so you can get back your energy before you talk of going outside,” I said.
She slowly got up as she walked to the closet and I tried not took at the towel around her body, that wasn't my concern.
“ Miss Miller you should really be resting, I'll go on your behalf if that's what you want," I suggested hoping that she would see reason with me and return to bed but she only stopped and slowly turned to me.
“ When did you become the CEO of the Miller's Cooperation?" She asked as she folded her hands looking at me.
“ I'm just doing this for your own good, we both know…”
" Can you just shut up Mr. Smith,” She said as she raised her hand stopping whatever I wanted to say.
Okay, the sheep cover was slowly coming off.
" You don't get to tell me what to do, now get yourself out of my room, I want to get dressed, I've got important places to be,” She said as she pointed towards the door.
“ But Miss Miller it's…”
" Can you shut the fuck up and take your cheap incompetent self out of my room!”
