He is Ruthless

Chapter 3: Dwayne

Cindy's POV

Voice Message: 9:38 am

Hey Cindy, this is Dwayne. Where are you? I've been calling you for forever and you're not answering. Dr. Jenkins is here already. You'll miss the orientation.

I have 10 missed calls from Dwayne. This is nuts. Why did I sleep in in the most important day?

"That's probably because of that man showing up at your house and delaying your sleep. You got home at 12 midnight remember?" I chastised myself. Correct it's not your fault Cindy.

Running, I entered the hospital and hurriedly asked the receptionist where Dr. Jenkins and the interns are.

"I'm sorry but we don't know things like that miss. You can try to look at Dr. Jenkins' office tho."

"Thank you. I will!" I said and quickly ran. "It's on the 2nd floor!" The nurse in the reception yelled.

I waved at her and continued running and walking. Finally, I spotted the office and after I caught my breath. I knocked on the door.

"Yes?" The door opened and Dr. Jenkins greeted me himself.

"I'm sorry I am late doc."

"It's ok, here." He gave me a booklet.

"Read that carefully. If you have questions, you can ask me and your classmates." He excused himself after and I also left.

I missed the orientation... sigh.

"Hey Cid. You good?"

"Dwayne? What are you still doing here?"

"I was waiting for you of course. I was worried." He said and patted my head.

"Oh, shut it hahahha." "I'm not kidding. Why are you always late these days?" Dwayne laughed.

Then we started walking down the stairs to the 1st  floor.

"Hmm. Well just some situations you know."

"I see..." He nodded. "Anyways, did you hear?" 

"No." I said.

"On the news earlier, they reported that the CEO of Filco Enterprises with his son were both ambushed but they're saved by an ordinary citizen and she even did a little surgery on the CEO. Don't you think that's amazing?"

What... in the freaking world? He is the CEO?!

"I-i guess yea."

"There's even a picture of the woman but they blurred her face. Look." He scrolled in his photos and then showed me a picture on the news.

"They went to her house yesterday to thank her it seems." I just nodded. It's good that they at least blurred my face.

"Mhmm okay, Well, I'll see you next Monday." I said and Dwayne just smiled and patted my head.

"Be careful Cid." He said and we both rode in our cars and drove away in opposite directions.

"I can't believe he is such a guy..." I said to myself wondering as I clean my room.

I heard that the Filco Enterprises was the fastest rising company ever before and right now it's one of the biggest enterprises in the world. I remember that they have many buildings and land which they own and sell. As well as all other products you can see in the market so they practically control mostly everything.

It also happens that they develop pharmaceutical drugs that are well-tested and very effective. They're one of the biggest manufacturers. No wonder that that guy was all high and mighty. Tsk.

"Still, it has been a week since that incident. So why did they come back yesterday?" I laid down in bed and stared in the ceiling.

"Maybe all of that was really just a show so he would look good." Businesspeople are such opportunists but who am I really to judge.

"Ugh. Forget about him and worry about your safety from the media and all."

Mmm. Thinking about that, I think it's not safe for me to stay here now anymore. I should move somewhere else just to be sure.

After I took a short nap, I dialed Dwayne's number. Its ringing... hmm.

"Pick it up common." Finally!

"Oh! Hey Cindy! What's up?"

"Hi! Can I ask you a favor?"
