" Excuse me!" A lady taps on her shoulder when she is retouching her makeup after having an hour of training. Charlotte looks at the lady who is looking at her with a troubled expression and she is fidgeting. Charlotte smiles nodding her head to know what she wants to talk about.
Seeing her silent approval, the lady, in her mid-twenties, hesitatingly approaches her. " Well, Um. Do you have any pads? I mean sanitary pads with you?"
She asks clutching her lower abdomen. Charlotte's attention goes to her purse. Usually, she carries them for emergencies. However, she has forgotten about her menstrual date this month.
" Well, I do. One. It will be enough, right?" She takes her last one out of her purse and holds it in front of the girl. In a hurry, The girl takes it and almost enters the toilet area until her body feels unbalanced.
Charlotte faces the mirror after giving her but seeing the reflection of the lady who is collapsing, she immediately extends her arm to support.
" Are you okay? Hello! Ms. " The girl didn't respond and to terrify Charlotte, she finds the blood is flooding out of her lower body. The pale complexion and her unsteady breathing are screaming her bad situation.
" What happened to her?" Another girl who just entered the toilet speaks in French. Since she can understand French, she answered the situation briefly which led the other girl to call for an ambulance as soon as possible.
After sending the girl to the hospital, Charlotte looks at her phone. She hasn't gotten her period yet this month. Pressing her lips, her eyes are calculating the days of her being with Edward. What if she is pregnant or something?
But she shrugs thinking she always has her period late for one or two weeks. It doesn't matter. Also, she can check later after she goes back to the hotel tonight.
" Mrs Rodriguez! Mr. Salvatore is calling you to meet him. " The assistant of Angelo informed her to go back to train.
She nods and hurriedly leaves a message to Edward since she is missing him so much. Slightly, she is regretting it that she has been spending such precious time here instead of with him.
Meanwhile, Edward who just huffs with long breath, looks at his phone screen when it buzzes. The registered ID is My Love, sent a message to him which brights his entire mood immediately. He feels much better after working out so much.
- Have you had your lunch? I am sorry, I am spending our precious time here.
Charlotte sent it.
The corner of his lips curves with blissful happiness. Drinking the juice that he ordered, he messages back to her with a tiny blush on his cheeks.
- I have. What about you? And don't worry. I will be there with you every second. You are working hard and I am proud of you.
Charlotte who just takes her seat and places the phone on the table, hurriedly takes it back after hearing the phone chirping. A soft smile appears on her face, glowing with shyness.
- I had a sandwich and fruit salad. Are you enjoying your time with your friends?
Sending the message, she hurriedly places it on the table and acts like nothing happened. However, she didn't notice, that, Angelo had already seen her message with a smile. It didn't take longer to realize that she was messaging her husband.
" Mrs Rodriguez! Everyone liked the design you designed. So we will start talking about the next plans." Angelo starts his explanation and time to time checks Charlotte who is restless to see if her husband is messaging back or not..
And she immediately looks at the phone screen when it vibrates. She forgets that everyone is around her working.
- It's fine. It's just I am missing my oxygen.
Her face immediately flushed red when she read the message and covered her face out of shyness. Edward can be so sweet talker sometimes.
" Mrs Rodriguez. Please attention to my words. Not your phone!" Angelo knocks on the table a little to get her attention.
When she realizes that everyone is laughing silently, watching her being impatient to see her husband's message, and being shy like a newly-in-love teenage girl, she coughs awkwardly and apologizes right away, hiding her phone. It's embarrassing and she wants to dig a hole and hide inside.
And, Edward who is staring at the phone screen blankly to get a reply, heaves a sigh soon after seeing she has seen his message but didn't reply. Out of nowhere, his heart starts feeling restless. He wanted another reply but she didn't that's killing him.
" Boss! Dr Yvonne wants you to start your second session.."
His eyes go to the bodyguard who informed him about the second session. He exhales sharply gives his phone to his bodyguard and walks inside the private room where he is getting his rehab.
" Who is this?" A soft voice whispers in the nurse's ear when she notices such an attractive person entering the room where she used to play with her other friends.
" Lisa! Be a good girl. And He is your favorite doctor's new patient. He is rich and powerful.." the nurse said pulling her into her room.
" He looks like Prince Charming. I want him.." She pouts struggling to get rid of the grip around her wrist. She hates when nurses force her to do something that she doesn't like. Seeing such a handsome man makes her happy and she wants to meet him.
" Auntie! I want to meet my prince charming and want to marry him. Let me go. Let me go!" She struggles and yells until she feels tired. The nurse who has been working and managing her didn't know why she was acting weird. But they can't take the risk of messing with such an important client. So, they shush her push her inside the room, and lock it from outside...
" She has been acting weird recently. Geez. How long do we have to take care of her? I don't know why Dr Yvonne doesn't send her away." One of the nurses whines, walking towards the inpatient ward. The other two sigh, agreeing with her. They are tired of handling an unbalanced patient.
" I heard she is like a golden egg." One of them whispers.
" What do you mean?"
The nurse who said that looks around to check the surroundings gets close to her two coworkers and whispers.." I heard Dr. Yvonne has been keeping her for the right time to release her. The guardian of this girl is rich and Dr Yvonne is keeping her for Money. Maybe he has been using the girl to milk out the money from the guardian."
" Seriously? I didn't know Dr Yvonne was such a greedy person. " Another one replied immediately, trusting her coworker.
" I know, right? She is pitiful. Hope someone can help her. He even told us to tell everyone that she is an orphan. He is crazy. "
The nurses sigh heavily heading to their destination and keep ignoring the girl who is hitting the door constantly to get out of the room where she is locked.
