I’m Dedicated To You

“And here comes the Golden man of the year,” Olivia says Bradley who just entered was surprised by what Olivia said but I saw that he decided to brush off the curiosity to ask what Ollie meant.

“Are you fine now? When do you wake up? Why didn’t you call for Tara?” Bradley asked, bombarding me with different questions and I saw Olivia and Victoria’s exchange looks.

“I am fine I just woke up and I don’t see a reason to make a fuss about it, I don’t think you have to get worried”.

“Ohhhh ok is your fever down now?”Bradley asked and nodded my head at him.

“Mr. Hale” Olivia called and Bradley turned his head to look at her “I am sorry about earlier we don’t mean to be rude, “Olivia said and I raised my eyebrow in question wondering what trouble Olivia caused now with her mouth.

“It’s fine I can understand your worries so, you don’t have to apologize,” Bradley says.

“Ok since I don’t know what you guys are talking about, can I please ask when they are going to remove this cast”.

“Your arm still needs to heal so I think you will still need to wear the cast for some weeks now” Bradley explained and I was shocked.

“That’s so long I don’t think wearing a cast used to take that long because when I wore it for a film I once shot it didn’t take more than a day to remove it, “I say dumbly.

“Babe you used a cast to shoot but you didn’t hurt your arm right” Victoria inquired.

“Of course why will I hurt my hand for a movie,” I say and I realized what Victoria is driving at.

“You know this kind of situation makes me doubt your IQ”Olivia says, twitching her face.

“You don’t have to look at me like that so, when next is the handsome doctor coming back,” I asked, facing Bradley.

“Which handsome doctor,” Olivia asked excitedly.

“You know when I caught a fever this morning Mr. Hale asked a doctor to check up on me and he looks so fine with his brown eyes like me and…”I was describing the doctor’s appearance to Olivia but I was cut off by how the room temperature dropped I turned to look at where the coldness is coming from and my eyes come in contact with Bradley but I can’t help but shiver.

“Mr. Hale is something wrong,” Victoria asked, also noticing the change in Bradley’s aura.

“No I am fine and as for the doctor you are asking about I already changed him and assigned him because his father is more experienced,” Bradley says with a straight face this is the second time I am seeing this expression on his face.

“But I like the handsome…” I was saying but was cut off by Victoria.

“Mr. Hale is wise so, I am sure you make the best decision, “Victoria says beaming with a smile. I never witnessed her bootlicking like that before.

“I will ask Tara to bring you guys some refreshments,” Bradley says walking out of the room.

“Gina are you sure when you got into an accident a few days ago are you sure you haven’t hurt your brain because how can you not have noticed that the abnormal drop in the temperature earlier is because of Mr. Hale’s jealousy,” Olivia said and I looked at her dumbly not understanding what she means.

“Don’t you notice that Mr. Hale’s aura changes when you start mentioning the handsome doctor?” Victoria says and I tried to reason with what she is saying.

“So, back to your dressing room can I please borrow some bags from it? I will like to show off to work tomorrow,” Olivia says, clapping her hands in excitement.

“I haven’t seen the dressing room yet and I am not even sure that what you guys saw there is mine”.

“I am 99% sure that those designers are all yours so I am going there to pick some bags and heels,” Olivia says.

“For someone that can get a call to the site anytime I think you need boots instead of heels” Victoria teased and I know Olivia has a counterattack for that.

“So, you mean editors are the only ones opportune to wear heels right, “Olivia asked. I can sense that world war 3 is about to happen here so, I decided to intervene.

“Olivia it’s fine you can pick any heels of your choice but you have to let me ask Bradley first if those things are mine”.

“Aren’t you tired babe you know we have been exhausting you ever since we arrived?” Victoria asked as I nodded my head and we heard the door to the room open, Tara and a girl I didn’t know walked in with a food tray.

“It’s meal time”Olivia yelled excitedly and Tara and the others looked at her weirdly.

“Don’t be bothered by her, you can just place the meal down and they will sort themselves out”.

“I will go when you finish eating because Mr. Hale says you must take your meds,” Tara says looking at me.

“Don’t worry Tara I will be sure to take my meds” I say.

“That’s what you said yesterday but you didn’t use it later, so I don’t think that can work on me today,” she says, looking at me like a mother about to scold her kid.

“Ok fine you can wait but I don’t think your other friend should wait too”.

“Ma’am did I do something wrong,” the girl I haven’t gotten her name asked pitifully.

“No, you didn’t do anything wrong I just don’t want to stress you,” I say and when I looked at my friends they already start devouring their meals Olivia is always the clumsy one she has already got food around her mouth just shake my head at them and asked Tara to help me with my soup since they say I should be taking something light for the time being.

After I finished eating and taking my meds Tara and the girl I later know her name to be Jackie cleared the plates from my room and that leaves me with my friends that are already about to drift into dreamland and I am already also feeling drowsy because of my meds.

“Then I think you guys are not leaving anytime soon,” I say and Victoria acknowledges nodding her head but Olivia didn’t respond at all. I suspected that she is already sleeping and I also drift into dreamland too.

I opened my eyes when I felt someone tapping my arm waking me up and I rubbed my eyes lazily staring at Victoria.

“What’s it,” I asked in a grumpy voice.

“We are going now,” Victoria says.

“What’s the time”.

“It’s six already,” she says and I also noticed that the sun has already set and I know it’s late already.

“That means we sleep that long, “I say, stretching my body.

“You slept that long because we have been awake before you, “Olivia said and I nodded my head at her.

“Let me walk you to the front door then, “I say, trying to get myself out of the bed.

“You don’t have to worry we can see ourselves out,” Victoria says, pecking at me.

“Ollie what’s with the bag?”I asked my crazy friend.

“Don’t give me that look. I didn’t go to your dressing room, this was the bag we brought along in the morning but I don’t think you need anything in this bag because you have everything you need in this room” Olivia says exaggeratedly.

“Ollie takes care,” I say, shooing them away.

After my friends left I decided to think over my plan. I give it thorough thought because I can’t afford to be caught up in my own game. After some minutes into my meditation I heard a knock on my door and I asked the person to come in.

“I met your friends leaving on my way up, you must be missing them,” Bradley says, closing the door behind him.

“They left some minutes ago, I am not a crybaby you know”I beamed rolling my eyes at him.

“But there is nothing wrong in being a crybaby you know,” Bradley says with a soft voice that I wondered if he is the one that owns the cold voices he uses.

“About my scandal, can you help me,” I asked, sitting upright on the bed.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“I thought you don’t want me to help you”.

“Then let me be shameless with you, “I say with a resolute voice.

“I have already seen a lot of your shameless sides, so I don’t think it’s bad to add another one to it but why did you change your mind?”, Bradley asked, folding his arms.

“I want to get back at whoever is involved in my scandal setup”.

“Why did you want to do that”Bradley inquires

“I hate being stepped over”…..
