Thank you so much for voting on my book. It means a lot to me 💖❤️.

Nina's P.O.V

"I said I'm fine, Nina." Nancy says forcefully.

I don't know what has her worked up like this. At first, I thought I was the one, but I know Nancy. I studied her body language and news flash - It isn't me. Something is bugging her but she doesn't want to tell me about it. I know that I just apologised yesterday and it will take some time before she fully believes that I've changed, but I'm kind of worried.

I sigh. "Okay, okay. I'm sorry. It's just that you're a little off ever since you came to pick me up. I'm just looking out for you."

Nancy drops the dirt bag (which she was using to dispose the nonsense that I made in my house) on the floor. "I'm sorry, sis. It's just - it's nothing. Well, it's just that I have a lot to think about, that's all. Things like the movie we're supposed to be working on, My Second. It was supposed to be released during Christmas... It's nothing really." She drops her head low, letting out a deep sigh.

Hm...

Why do I find what she just said hard to believe?

...but I do remember the movie. Its a really big one, considering the fact that Harry is the major producer. I know this cause I follow all his production company Instagram accounts. Any film that guy touches goes viral and wins multiple awards. I've met him only three times. I was honoured to meet him in person actually. The first two times was when I was invited to sing in two of his movies and the last, was when I randomly appeared at Nancy's place of work (on set). Nancy wasn't even aware that he was present that day because after he left, I told her that Harry had just left and she creased her brows. She told me she didn't even know what he looked like.

Poor Nancy. Then, Cassius always had everything done for her. So I didn't blame her. I don't know about now though.

Harry has invested in plenty Nigerian movies. He even says it on air that he loves our nation and culture. That's why he invests and supports the Nolywood industry. He's a very busy man. He got no time for dimwits or bullshits.

I trust Nancy will do her best. I don't know what's delaying the movie, but I hope it's wrapped up soon.

"Okay. I'm sorry about that." I say solemnly.

She nods, getting back to continue picking the trash.

She came to the hospital around 10:42am - eighteen minutes before the discussed time. I was quite shocked that she even came, especially that early. I thought maybe she'd change her mind and decide that I'm playing her or something... I wouldn't have blamed her. I'm an idiot.

She discussed some things with Paulina in her office while I just jubilated that I was finally leaving the hospital. I don't really like them. They creep me out.

When Nancy finished the mini meeting with Paulina, they came back to my room with two bags of drugs in hand. Paulina explained that it's for the betterment of my health - if I didn't want to come back after a day or two or possibly a week. I agreed with her. I truly didn't want to see the face of a hospital again...or at least not in a few months. She then called a nurse to disconnect all the connections I had to the IV, the monitor and some other stuff that I don't give two fucks about.

On our way out of the hospital, I noticed Nancy talking to the receptionist. I was standing close to the exit door, so I couldn't really hear what they were talking about. I didn't even know her name! It didn't look like a friendly conversation though. In fact, they were exchanging glares and I was almost tempted to move further and eavesdrop, but I know it's wrong. It's Nancy's business and I made a promise to change and that's what I did. I went to wait for her in her car instead.
