Sophie
It wasn't long before I was awaken from my small nap, it took us 30mins to arrive at the hospital. I squirted my eyes from the bright lights, it was way too busy here.
James had raised me up to sit properly on the back seat and got off first. I was still in a sleeping trance but also managed to get of the car.
I stretched a bit to get my body moving and rubbed my eyes again to make sure to see where I was going.
I looked down once and saw I was already walking towards the door without realizing it, but then again my legs weren't moving.
Where are my legs?
My eyes widen as I searched for my legs, i looked up to meet a smooth jaw line and my body off the ground.
James was carrying me?!
We walked into the building and could notice eyes starring at us
"James you can me down now, I'm fine!" I panicked seeing the on-lookers. He just shrugged me off.
Seriously doesn't he know his leaving a bad impression. I try getting off his arms "You're leaving a bad impression, people will misunderstand this" I whispered
He looked at me then back at path he was taking towards my ward. I silently gave up, I couldn't argue with a man like him so I quietly followed.
We arrived at my ward and sat me down carefully on the bed, it was huge.
"Hey— em, which ward are we in?" I had noticed that this isn't any ordinary, plain hospital ward. It looked like a extravagant VIP ward, which I can't afford even I sell my arms and legs too.
"It's your ward"
"But I can't afford this!" I whisper yelled.
He looked at me raising an eyebrow, was he angry?.
Realizing my mistake, I lowered my voice "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to" I apologized.
He sighed as like he was trying to hold back a laugh "You really are quite interesting, Miss Sophie"
"Uhh?" It was the only thing that could come out of my mouth. Hold up he found me, interesting?!
He chuckles. The Cold Tycoon chuckling, is this the same man people describe him as?.
"All you should do is rest, I'll handle the rest" he tells me. "You should also change, Owen will be hear soon"
"Owen? Who's that?!"
He doesn't reply. My guesses where he was the man the James called earlier in the car.
Few minutes later I've changed into proper hospital wear and doctors were coming to give me check ups, this was my last one.
I sighed in relief has the doctor went out. For the past 15mins where nothing but check ups and medicine. James was still in my ward watching over me like a hawk, and I was a bird of prey trying to escape.
"Erm— James aren't you busy today?" I asked giving a mild smile trying not to annoy him.
"Why? You don't want me here"
"No. No, no, no, no!" Waving my hands frantically. " Don't take that way, I was just asking"
He cleared his throat "You're a prime figure in the investigation"
Me? Prime figure? I guess that made sense why his always around me. But then why can't he just send someone to watch over me.
Later on Owen arrives.
"Sir" he knocks. James opens the door for him.
"Hello Miss Sophie" he greets dropping the clothes.
"Hi" I replied. "You must be Owen"
"Yes, I am" he smiled warmly at me and I smiled back. He seemed like a nice guy.
"Ahem" James coughs in the background, giving us a cold death glare.
"Oh, sorry Miss but I have to go now" understanding the situation.
"So soon?" I whine.
"Yes. I still have work to do".
"Oh ok, thanks for coming"
He left without another word, with James's eyes on him.
When he left James eyes square back to me, like I had committed some crime. I laughed awkwardly to avoid his stare.
He came close to me sitting on the chair beside the bed, crossed legs.
"Are you avoiding my gaze"
"N–no" I protested
"Then why won't you face me?". My face was facing my feet, they were wiggling awkwardly too.
I didn't reply to his question and played with my thumbs.
He sighed gently "I'm sorry if I frighten you in any way"
Wait! Did he just apologize to me?!.
I faced him trying to make my jaw not to drop off in awe and embarrassing myself further.
"Why is your face like that, don't you accept my apology"
How could I not? I would be crazy if I didn't accept his apology.
"Yes, yes I do" trying my best to not embarrass myself.
He looks like he still isn't convinced of my words.
"Fine" I sighed "I do appreciate you apologizing to me" I couldn't say more than that, I wasn't so used to this. I mean it's not my fault I brought up in a heartless way.
He seemed pleased with this, that was good.
"You haven't eaten since, are you hungry yet?"
"N–"
I was about to say 'No' but my stomach gave it away, it growled as hungry as a lion; I was starving.
Awkward silence filled the room after my stomach had declared it dominance.
"Emm..."
"I will go get some food, you wait here" he commanded
"But wait—"
I was already alone in the room after he had raced out.
Why is he still here, isn't he supposed to be busy with other trivial matters.
He's the boss of the investigation, so of course he can slack off a bit, right?
I argued with my self on different theories but after a few minutes I conclude the matter.
"He just has too much free time"
