No pain, no gain. The expression on her face said it all. I knew had I had to cheer her on.
“There you go, sweetheart. I told you that you can do it, didn’t I? You are amazing dear”Christine was involved in an accident some months back and for the first time in months she took her first steps.“You are amazing, Christine!” I cheered again and earned a smile from Christine. I am proud to have been a part of her healing journey. It like adding a feather to my cap.“Thank you, Doctor Meyers” Christine Appreciates. “If not for you, I wouldn’t have recovered this fast. I’m really grateful”Aww! That was sweet. I mean, I’m awesome, aren’t I?“Stop with the flattery.” I say acting shy.Stop but don’t stop, I love to be praised. I mean who doesn’t ?“Excuse me Christine, I’ll be leaving now” I said to Christine and left the examination room. I’ll just go to my office and rest a bit.I’m relieved she’s able to walk after all this while. It’s a plus to my short list of achievements. At least, this should be able to convince Dr. Bell that I deserve that raise. I have been asking for it for quiet a while now but he keeps refusing me. If he finally decides to give me that raise, I’ll be so happy I might hug him. I might, because he’s such a stern man. I don’t think he’s such a fan of hugs.“Charlotte” Someone calls my name from behind. I look back to see who it was that called me.“Hi phoebe” I greeted looking back to face the nurse who just called my name.“Doctor Bells wants to see you in his office. Asap.”She walked off as soon as she relayed the message. I have no idea why she’s always like that, she never leaves room for small talk and always with a serious expression on her face.Why does Doctor Bell want to see me?I keep asking myself as I make my way to his office. I keep wondering if I caused trouble again.Again because, the last time he called me to his office I was suspended for two weeks.“Hey Charlotte you look beautiful today” Someone complimented as I walked past them at the counter. I was too distracted to see who it was , I only let out a smile as I walked to the head doctor’s office.I was suspended for a trivial season if you would ask me. It was for a crime I didn’t intentionally commit. Here’s what happened, I was paired with this other doctor to take a bunch of Med school students on a tour of our hospital. There were about a score of them. The other doctor and I split them equally, he toured one half and I toured the other half.On that fateful day, I took the students in my own half to see the blood storage area and I locked one of the students in the Ice cold room of below zero degree Celsius accidentally, reason being I didn’t want to miss the premiere of Jake Reid’s latest movie. Missing it meant having to listen to spoilers and I wanted none of that. Now tell me how is that a crime? Not like the boy died or anything. He only caught a cold at most. Hiss!“Miss Meyers, you’ve been standing there for quite a while now. Will you please come in?”Dr. Bell’s deep baritone voice brought me out of my reverie. He must have seen me standing outside through the transparent glass walls surrounding his office.I adjust my blue overalls so I’ll looks presentable, I wouldn’t want Dr. Bells to admonish me regarding my uniform. I walk into his office afterwards.“Hello Doctor Bells” I greet with a shaky voice. Something about this middle aged man keeps placing me on edge.“Hi Doctor Meyers, Have a seat He says pointing to the seat opposite his, demarcated by large wooden desk. The wood looks like Mahogany or is it Iroko? I’ll ask Phoebe, that nurse knows everything and oh! Doctor Bell just called me Doctor Meyers! It’s the first time he’s called me that since I started working here a year ago. It’s always being Miss Meyers this, Miss Meyers that.“Are you listening?” Dr. Bell called snapping his fingers in front of my face to draw my attention.Oops! I must have zoned out again. Concentrate Charlotte!!!“Ye.. yes sir” I replied shifting in my seat. Wait when did I seat?“I said I finally agreed to give you that raise you’ve been asking for “ Dr. Bell repeatedRaise? My prayer have been answered? I finally got a salary raise! Oh Goodness.“Whoohoo!!” I exclaimed and screamed for joy. Dr. Bells squeezes his face at my noisiness but I don’t care, I just got a raise.Was it me or my soul? I don’t know but one of us actually hugged Doctor Bell out of excitement. His cold glare was enough to send me back to my seat though. This man is definitely emotionless.“I’m not done yet. There’s a clause.” He saysOh God, what clause now?I hate clauses. When I was in med school, I took this evening job just for extra money but there was a clause to getting a raise. I had to do the dishes. Of all chores in the world, I hate doing dishes. Call me lazy, I don’t care but I hate doing dishes.“What’s the clause?”Gosh! I must sound like there’s a lump in my throat because that’s how I feel. Let this clause be a favorable one.“You have to work as a family doctor for the Reyes.”What?Just kill me or the Reyes family will do it themselves.My mouth has never been this wide open in my life.Oh no, this isn’t happening.Hi, my name is Charlotte Slim Meyers. What kind of parents called their kid slim right? My kind of parents. I know you’re wondering so I’ll clear your doubts.Yes I’m slim, as in mop stick slim. Face palms. Mom says I have the Kendall Jenner body, fit for the runway.I always wanted to be a runway model growing up but life happened and here I am working as a resident doctor.I am 24 years old and you are about to follow my roller coaster of a life.. I wouldn’t say it’s a nightmare but don’t keep your hopes up.“But Doctor Bell, you know how much that family hates me, don’t you? Sending me there sounds worse than skinning me alive, Please Doctor Bell please!” I begged kneeling on both knees, Fuck self esteem, all I care about is getting out of this mess. He should be able to help, just do something Doctor Bell, please.“There is nothing I can do about this Doctor Meyers, the family specially requested for you” Doctor Bells said but honestly I think he is only trying to play safe. Those people are filthy rich and getting on their bad isn’t really a good decision to make. Just saying.What the! Has the man before me gone stupid or what? Of course they’ll request for me, after all it was me who almost murdered their child. They wouldn’t miss the opportunity to have their revenge on me or are they not the Reyes family that I grew up knowing so well? Inviting me to work for them is like giving them the free will to make my life a living hell. Is this raise worth it?Do you remember the Med School
Ever heard of the relationship between the tongue and the teeth, always fighting but can’t do without each other? Well that’s similar to the situation ship between me and Ontario Reyes, well except I can do without him but I do no think the same is the case on his end. Don’t ask me why, I don’t know. We’ve just been in each other’s lives since like forever.Let go of me!” I half-yelled“FINE” His annoying voice said and with a loud thud, I found myself on the floor. Silly me! I couldn’t even manage to gain my footing. To think he’ll even drop me to the ground? Really?“Ouch!” I think I sprained my ankle; I winced in pain. It hurts! So bad, somebody call my momma.But the Devil?😠 he did nothing but stared down at me like I was some kind of entertainment or something.“Won’t you help me up?” I asked through gritted teeth.“It was you who asked me to let go of you” He replied with an annoying smirk on his face. I just want to slap him across the face and wipe that smirk off it.“
💫💫JAKE REID 💫💫 “YOU’RE FIRED!!” I yell at my assistant who’s kneeling in front of me and begging me not to fire him, not to fire him? He nearly killed me! Not allowed to take anything that has lactose in it, why? Cuz it’s bad for my health. Life of a lactose intolerant celebrity. Lol That’s my life and I’m cool with it, Well today like a few times before, someone had managed to sneak lactose into my meal or drink! Here I was thinking I was super careful, you can’t just be smarter than these manipulators. The only person allowed to make and deliver my meals to me is my assistant and now he’s getting fired. He should be glad I’m not arresting him “But sir, why?” He asked with a pathetic voice I don’t have to reply him, do I? NAH! I don’t think so. I mean he knows why I’m firing him, right? I’m firing him cuz he sneaked lactose in my meal, well he was paid by someone to do so therefore causing me to land in the hospital where I was annoyed by the clingy and star-struck doctor t
👩⚕️Charlotte Meyers👩⚕️ 🎶"Rain on me, rain rain! rain on me!"🎶 My phone is ringing, I was enjoying my sleep, why did you have to call just this moment? I was about to kiss Jake Reid in my dreams! Urghh! who the fuck is calling me this early in the morning😪😪 "What is it!!" I said grumpily into the phone after picking up. The person on the other end of the call chuckled, I looked at my phone screen to see who it was that called to make jest of me this early on a Saturday morning, the only day in the week that I'm off duty. Oh guess what? UNKNOWN NUMBER was boldly written on the screen as the caller ID. Is this a prank call? Seriously? "Hey are you crazy? did you call to make fun of me?" I'm getting so annoyed right now, what right does this person have to wake me up? I deserve rest and not to be disturbed by a prank caller early on a Saturday morning. "Calm down!" It's a masculine and it sounds so cool, Oh soothing and familiar! "Who are you?" I asked, not so calm now but
👩⚕️ CHARLOTTE MEYERS 👩⚕️👩⚕️“Thanks’ Ma, I enjoyed the meal, it was so delicious” Ontario appreciated as he made to leave our house after consuming all of our breakfast. Grr! Eat at your own house, Mr.All he cares about is food and food alone, Imagine him leaving immediately after the meal, Normal people would stay for a while and hangout but No! Not Ontario Reyes. Mtcheeww! He should be tagged Minister for food affairs or something.“Hey Ugly Doctor you look like you’re gonna cry!” The fool started to say looking at my face “you’re gonna miss me right?”What? Miss him? what’s he feeling like? Boy I only look this way because I’m trying to figure out what goes on in your head and all I can see is food, my mother’s food precisely.“What are you feeling like? Me miss you? In your nightmares!” I retortedHe gave a slight grin and hugged my mom and walked towards the door, he was about to open the door but he stopped in his tracks like he forgot something, and inst
👩⚕️ CHARLOTTE MEYERS 👩⚕️If I do not reply his texts will he keep on sending more dresses? What kind of guy spends this much money for just one date? this dresses are both lovely though! Do I reply his texts or make him keep on sending clothes? I mean if he wants to spend his money on me, then who am I to stop him? 📩📩 "You don't like this one too?" A new text from Jake.📩📩What the? he is acting like it's the first time he's asked a lady on a date, or is it? There is really no news about his relationship status online or anywhere. I mean on blog once painted him as asexual but the post was deleted less than 24 hours later.I better reply him before he squanders his account balance on getting me the perfect dress, that’ll be nice though, I’ll just sell out the dresses and keep the money, probably invest in good business and get Khloe life long supply of insulin. Ha 😂"The first dress is really pretty, there was no need for the second one" I typed on my phone, I
💫JAKE REID💫 I parked my car right in front of Charlotte Meyers' apartment at exactly 7:00pm. I adjust my tuxedo, wait is it right to wear a tux on a date? yeah right. Come On Jake, you've acted in way too many movies to be nervous on this date, just relax and you'll do great. Heaving a deep sigh, I walked to the front door and rang the doorbell twice before the door was answered. A cute and adorable little face came into my view immediately, this little one bears a very striking resemblance to Doctor Silly, Oops! I mean Charlotte. This must be Khloe, her little sister who is low on sugar. I did my research on her family. Why not? I need to know who it was that I’m going out with. "Hi, little one" I greeted bending low so we were on the same level and by the way, she hadn't let me in by now, I was still at the door. "Who are you and what do you want?" She asked with a sassy little voice. Who am I? It's been a long time since I was last asked this question, almost everyone in th
💫💫JAKE REID 💫💫"The sea? really? Way to go dude! I have a phobia for large expanses of water, Seas, Oceans, Rivers and the likes! Oh Mama, I'm about to get sea sick please take me home!" She criedHa!"Hey, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were scared of water. I actually booked our dinner on a cruise ship but it's okay. I'll just cancel and we can have dinner somewhere else"I said trying to calm her down. See I did kind of do my homework pretty well, so I did know she had a phobia for water, I brought her here so I could have a laugh!"But you already made a reservation! I don’t want you to waste your money" She said looking down and playing with her.One could easily tell that she was blaming herself. Oh nice 😊The money is a piece of cake, nothing to be worked up about. But it's good to see Charlotte all stressed up. It’s like comic relief of some sort."No, it's fine" I said but I pretended to look sad "It's just a pity, I'd have to waste money!""Wait! you're worrie
