I met up for coffee with Tash.
We normally have coffee together before heading to work.
"Girl, you did what?" Tasha sounded disappointed. I told her everything that happened last night.
"Tash, I...I just don't know what to do." I said.
"It's because of that jerk right?" She knew me inside out.
Of course, she'd know that I still thought of him.
"Yes, his cologne has been everywhere I've been lately and it's driving me nuts. I don't want my past to come back" I stared into my coffee. I couldn't look at Tash's face.
"Because of a cologne? Girl, it could be anyone at all."
"I know, but I just have this feeling--"
"Stop having feelings and thoughts about that jerk. Remember what he did to you? Or you want a reminder so you can come back to your senses" She cut in.
She hated him to the core.
"I'm sorry, Ash... I went a bit overboard, but I just don't want you to regret your choices later" She finally calmed down and she placed her hand on mine.
I knew what she meant.
Just then, I got a call from work.
I whispered "work" to Tash so she'd know who I was talking to.
"Good morning. I'm on my way. Is there any problem?"
"Someone wants to hire you as their personal doctor, Miss Lexington"
"Personal doctor?"
"Yes, please get to the office quickly so we can discuss the details properly."
"Yes, sir. Thanks, bye".
A personal doctor? for who?
"Ash, what was that about?"
"Someone wants me as a personal doctor," I said.
"That's great. People get a lot of money from that. You don't look happy about it tho"
"Yeah, I have this feeling."
"Ugh, you and your feelings" she laughed.
"I gotta go, see you later," I said and hugged her.

I soon got to the hospital where I worked at.
I headed straight to the main office. I knocked on the door.
"You may come in"
I entered and saw a man together with Mr. Leonard. He was the owner of the hospital.
"It's good you're here Miss Lexington"
I greeted and was asked to take a seat.
"This is Alfred. He has been sent by his boss and as I told you earlier, you've been chosen to be his personal doctor" Mr. Leonard said.
"But why me, sir?"
"My boss wants you to be his personal doctor. You are known to be the best doctor" This Alfred guy said.
"What do I have to do then?"
Alfred handed over a contract to me, " Please read carefully and thoroughly"
I read through and I saw something I didn't like.
"I have to stay in his home?"
"Yes, you do. He would like to keep his doctor near him. He stresses himself with tons of work and anything could happen"
"Mr. Leonard, is that professional?"
"Well, he does have a point"
What in the world!!!
I continued to read the contract and when I saw my monthly pay, my mouth dropped. Not for everyone to see tho. I guess his boss was a fucking millionaire.
After reading through it, I sighed. I wanted to call Tash to ask her what to do.
"So what do you say, Miss Ashley," Alfred asked. Gosh, he had this permanent smile that was creeping me out. I wanted to punch him so he'd stop smiling like a freaking doll.
"I agree, but this is going to be professional work only," I said with a serious look.
He handed me a pen and said, "Don't worry, my boss isn't a pervert"
That sounded good.
I took the pen and signed the contract.
"You start work tomorrow, miss"
"Tomorrow?"
"Yes, nice doing business with you" He extended his hand for me to shake.
I reluctantly shook his.
I had a bad feeling about this.
I don't even know anything about who I'm gonna be working for or even staying with.
