Christmas Proposal

Chapter 16: Get Wrecked

"I'm sorry Miss Warner whether you have committed a crime or not we cannot hire you. Maybe someplace else here. We don't need this reputation in our office."

"Ok, thank you!"

"Hey look it's the girl who lost her temper. I am sure she is worse than a panda bear may be more terrible than a dragon." One guy said as she walked in

"Shut up already. Look this wasn't me now get lost."

"Too afraid we are gonna hurt you aye?"

Emery rolled her eyes.

"Please the least you two can do is get a life. Now I coming to the restaurant to get some lunch and was leaving."

"Well, you should leave because people like you don't belong here.

"Well sorry, you can't get rid of me fast enough, and may I let her remember I ran this restaurant and gave y'all reason to come back here. Now good day!"

The guys get upset and try to get in a fight with Emery and they were part of Thomas's henchmen and held her tight.

"If you tell your pretty boy any of this we will make sure you are dead. Now, do you understand?"

Emery didn't answer.

"Hey put your hands up where we can see them." Detective Fogon said.

The men ran with her and made some attempt to kill her. But failed.

"I need an ambulance stat! She is going to need surgery."

The ambulance comes to take Emery and Doctor Evergreen comes in to check up on Emery with his new hospital and sees where the bullet hit her.

"Em, please hang in there. The bullet is too deep and she is lucky it wasn't both kidneys. We are going to operate on her and she will just have one kidney. Take her to the surgery room now! She is already knocked out. We can't lose her. I love her!"

Alex works on Emery and is worried and helps her and she is doing ok. So she tries to heal after the surgery and everyone takes care of her.

Alex tries to do something to calm him but was super worried.

"Nick I can't believe everything that is happening to us."

"Alex she is tough and she will be okay. Besides, the fact you will do anything for her shows you are just the guy for her."

"Well, she won't like me when she finds out I have to work on Christmas. We have been planning everything and I have to travel which usually airports are closed then. I have to do an operation in Italy since I am one of the best doctors."

"You're not giving up on her are you?"
"No! I just want to propose to her. I'm just feeling like it won't be on Christmas. Well, I am sure I can help make it possible."

"I guess we will see. I don't know she gets mad at me. I'm just not sure we will work out."

"Alex you are overthinking this. When was the last time you found a girl like her this good?"

"I don't know."

"It was you never have. Each girl will never be as good as Emery and she brings the best in you. I see how she smiles at you."

"Yeah well, I hope she is ok. She got shot, Nick. I am so worried about her."

"Well, you did medicine for a while right?"

"Yeah! Then you are just the man to be there for her and you operated on her and she is okay. So it will work out."

"I just hope so. She is going to be so upset with me."

Emery is in the hospital and wakes up and groans.

They all check up on her and tell Alex and he skips happily.

Rosalie comes to check up on her.

"Hey! I heard what happened and I brought your favorite chocolates."

"Oh thank goodness! Ow! Holy cow that hurts like the dickens."

"I'm just glad you are okay!"

"Me too! I just know I was heading to your restaurant and I got into a fight then I passed out. If Thomas hired someone in an attempt to kill me then serves him right to be in prison longer."

"Jürgen called the police when he was there and they managed to catch those guys who attempted to kill you."

"Well, that is nice of him."

"He must want you as his sister-in-law."

"I am so flattered."

"You have always been so sarcastic."

"Thanks!"

"So they ran some DNA tests and those who are more likely to be a match if you ever needed a donor would be me or Alex."

"Wow! I am glad that wasn't necessary."

"I better go head to my restaurant and the store. I have a lot to catch up on."

"Sounds good!"

"Thanks, for coming!"

"Anything for my step-sister!" Rosalie said with a smile and left going to check on her store.

"They give her food and ask her to get some rest to heal."

"Um, how long till I can go back working and heading home?"

"At least a few more days. You were hit pretty badly. You were lucky it was only hours when you were out and not days." Nurse Evans said to her.

"Thanks! Alright!"

"Say does this hospital hire physical therapists?"

"We do and we do need a new one."

"Alright!"

"If you are interested we will interview after your application."

"Wonderful!"

A store critic comes to Rosalie.

"You know your store is a bit plan and myopic. Give it some more decorations that would bring out the title and you should be good."

"Alright thank you!"

The critic leaves and she tries to arrange a few things and Jürgen comes in on his day off.

"Well, they were rude about it. I think everything looks perfect in here. Everyone loves it more when it is classy and not too modern."

"You think so?"

"You kidding everyone says this is the best store to go to."

"Thanks!"

"So how is your sister Emery?"

"She is pretty good! She is healing well!"

"Oh good! I got a small glimpse of it and I got pretty worried for you and Alex. He is always talking about her and how much she means to him. He is super happy."

"He is mister Romero for her."

"Yep and she is his Juliet!"

"You are my frog prince."

"You just happen to be my maiden that helped me to be charming." He said with a grin.

"Ok, I better get back to work. Thanks for stopping by!"

"See you at Christmas?"

"See you at Christmas!"

Maybe this won't be so bad after all?
