How I Met An Angel

Take It Or Leave It

Lean's POV
I am walking alone towards the office.
Sheena went to the other direction because she was called by our co-woker at the nurses station. She said that some guy was looking for her and wanted her to be there pronto. I bet it's her boyfriend who's very desperate to see her after they fought last week.

I reached Dr. Vinson's office after a long walk. It is located at the edge of the longest hall of the building and quite far from commotion there at the main part of the hospital.

I knocked slightly at the wooden door and waited for a few secods for someone to open it, but no one did. I knocked again but this time a little bit louder good for him to hear and waited again.

Two minutes had passed but no one was answering. Usually Dr. Vinson will open after few knocks, but this time was different. I sense something's not right, so after few knocking and calling of his name again, I decided to let my self in and see what is the problem.

But before I can even touch the knob, it opened and blond lady went out not even noticing my presence. I watch her storm through the halls. Pissed I guess.

"Ehem.." My attention was driven by the slight coughing of Dr. Vinson waiting patiently at his desk. He gestured for me to come in, so I did. I didn't notice that I was watching her for a minute long while standing outside the door. I was mesmerized by the lady's gorgeous hair, laying so freely on her sholders, that I didn't hear I was already summoned by the doctor.

The room was spacious and you can see that it is very organized from the ordered piled books placed in many shelves, to the astonishing paintings on the wall. Standing at the left side of the room was a 5ft tall shelf in which his awards and some memorabilia are kept neatly. A large portrait of their family was hanged near his table at the right side, together with some beautiful paintings of sceneries and some abstract.

He's the head doctor, no wonder he owns the biggest office. You can tell that he likes the color white and blue from the interior design of the place.

"Good morning Sir. I'm very sorry about me spacing out a while ago. I don't mean it. I was just amazed by the lady's gorgeous hair that I didn't know I was standing there for a long time already" I apologetically said as I approach his desk. I bowed my head to show my respect and sincerity from my statement.

"No! No! No!. I should be the one saying sorry. I kept you waiting outside. Take a seat." He said while gesturing for me to seat down."I have something to discuss with you." I felt a lump on my throat as he said those words. "I need you to do something for me. Your one of the best nurses here in our hospital considering you took good care of the late Pres. Miller and his family." I felt cold when he mentioned "THE LATE PRES. MILLER AND HIS FAMILY".

"What do I n-need to do?" I said a little bit nervous.

"I need you to nurse Pres. Miranda" I was shocked on what he said so I clarified it again. "I'm sorry sir, but can you explain it clearly"

"I will assign you to do weekly check ups for Mrs. President. She has a heart problem so she needs aid for her health. Don't worry you will just check her B.P and stuff. You'll get extra credit for that and you'll be excused on your duty on that day, with pay of course." The offer is good, but I don't need extra credit but I don't like letting someone down the most especially the ones counting on me, so might as well accept it for Dr. Vinson.

"I know it's kinda hard for you knowing the incident happened two years ago, but are you willing to accept? If not, It's ok. I will just look for another nurse who's willing to take the job " Dr. Vinson said with a worried look.

"Oh no sir! I'll certainly take the job." My heart skipped as I accept the work, but there's nothing I can do but to face the fact that it might happen again.

"Thank you so much! So it's settled then. You will start on the first Saturday of March."

Great. I still have time to prepare myself.
