I love you, Mr. Racer

CHAPTER 3 - THE JOB

ELIJAH

"Elili, son. A Mr. Amari is in the living room waiting for you. According to him, his mom sent him here as you requested." My nanny Alejandra said.

Elili. That's my nickname given by her. She's been my nanny ever since I was born. She is the one who attended school activities for me in behalf of my parents. So, she is like a parent to me.

"Got it Nana. But can you just bring him here in my room. I don't want to go out."

"Are you sure? You need to get out once in a while to breathe fresh air son. You've been hiding in this room since the day you came here."

I smiled sadly. Even though I can't see her face, I can picture her face in my mind with a worried expression.

"No nana. I'm fine. I'll just talk to him here. Thank you for the concern." I said dismissively.

I didn't hear another word and after a few minutes I heard her voice once again.

"Here he is son. I'll let you two talk but I'll be right back to bring your medicines and some refreshments for Mr. Amari."

"Thanks Nana. But that won't be needed. This won't take long."

"Mr. Jongcheveevat, good morning. I'm Mr. Feran Amari. Your mom ordered me to come here as you requested."

"I only have one job for you Feran. Follow my boyfriend's every action. Currently he is in Amsterdam. Taking a vacation. I don't know how long is his vacation in there. I don't want to miss anything with relation to him. I'll double what my mom pays you if you will do a good job."

"Noted Sir. I'll report to you as soon as I got information. Would that be all? "

"Yes. Thank you."

I heard his footsteps drifting away from my hearing senses. And I heard another one coming and I know who it was.

"Here my son. You need to take this medicines."

"I don't want Nana. I'm useless already. There is no need for me to get better."

"You think I didn't saw you listening to the report earlier? I know you want to get back to racing son. And the only way to do that is to focus on your medication and therapy."

"But how can I focus on doing my therapy, if my therapist herself cannot control their urge to touch me inappropriately?"

I heard her sighed. "So, if we got a male therapist, are you willing to cooperate?"

"I'm not promising Nana. I myself already loose hope. I don't want to get my hopes high then dropped me to crush once again."

I drink all the medicines she was giving me. And she also help me settled in my bed for the medicines will take effect anytime soon.

Before I completely drift to slumber, I heard her say "You will get better my son. I promise."

Noah's POV

"Dr. Traipipattanapong, the Director is calling you at his office."  Dr. Ohm called my attention. 

"Right now?"

"Yes. Right now. You know that old man. "

I sighed. What could it be? I've been diligent to my work this past few months. I've tried to control my anger to every hard headed patients the hospital assigned to me.  And i need a break from it. 

Wait. Is it because of my leave of absence application? i am planning to unwind for the next five days if ever that will be approved. 

I made my way to the directors office. I knocked three times before opening the door. I saw him talking to a lady around his age. When I came in, both of them turn their gaze at me. 

"Good morning Director. They said you were asking for me?"

"Ah, yes. Dr. Traipipattanapong, please take a seat. I want you to meet Mrs. Jongcheeveevat, and Madam, this is Dr. Traipipattanapong." 

"Good morning Madam, Im Dr. Noah Traipipattanapong. A licensed physical therapist."

"Good morning Dr. Noah. It was nice to meet you."

"May I ask why did you ask for me Director?"

"What I am about to assign to you is a confidential case. Once you accept this,  you have to sign an Non Disclosure Agreement."

"I don't understand, are you assigning a new patient to me?"

"Yes, your patient will be Elijah Jongcheveevat. the famous racer. This is her mom asking for a new therapist."

"New? meaning he already had a therapist before?"

Mrs. Jongcheeveevat answered, "Yes, you will be the sicth one if ever you agreed."

My eyes grew wide "Sixth?! What the hell--"

"Language Dr.! You are talking to a client."

"I'm sorry, please continue madam."

"As i was saying he already had 5 therapist, but my son is so hard headed and don't want any of the treatment. But all of his previous therapist was female. You will be the first male therapist and hopefully you can convince him to treatment."

Oh no. I don't like the sound of this. 

"So what can you say Dr. Noah? Are you up for a challenge?"

Can i say no?  Of course I can't!

"Ahm, Director, i would love to take the job, but i still have patients assigned to me. Plus, i actually applied for a vacation that needs your approval."

"Don't worry about your cases, Dr. Ohm will take over. With regards to your vacation, the job that Madam is offering, located at their ranch away from the city, so you can treat it as a vacation too."

"Please Dr. Noah. I will pay you good if you accept the job."

That, caught up my attention. 

"I'm willing to pay 250,000 baht per month as long as you agree on the job. 

I thought I heard her wrong so I ask again. "I'm sorry. But can you please repeat that?"

"250,000.00 baht. So do you want the job?"

I smiled. 

"We have a deal Mrs. Jongcheeveevat."
