Mr. Billionaire's hired Doctor

Chapter Three- First Encounter

Ride is awkward. I hate silent rides.

" So Mr.Henderson, what's he like? Is he good?" I cant keep my mouth shut for long since it was taking too longer than I expected. I got no answer other than a raised brow from the review mirror. Can this ride be any more awkward.

After about 10 more minutes of driving I reached a house. No a mansion. Isn't business meeting suppose to be held at buildings? Am I been fooled or this is my paranoia. Before I had the chance to get out of the car, the door was held open by the bodyguard looking driver. Why didn't he join military? Non of your business Lexie.  

"Follow me ma'am." that's his first word directed to me. Ma'am? Damn I feel old. And scared shit. What if I am being kidnapped or something? What if they are gangsters. Nobody knows where I am. Maybe that's the reason he sent me a ride. I mean who does that anyways? and most importantly who has a professional meeting at a mansion. Maybe he always work from home.

"Ma'am?" I didnt realized I wasn't moving an inch until he called me. I got out of the car and followed him in.

As exquisite as it was from the outside its was more phenomenal from inside. I wish I studied interior designing. I don't know what the floor was made of, but I just want to walk on them all day long. On my best high heels. Those painting hung on the walls was extraordinary. I never had any interest in painting but without a doubt I knew it was mesmerizing. DC was written in a corner of each painting. All the painting had the initials. Probably the painter's initials. Only his painting. Weird. I should check the collections. These painting are just too good.

"Ma'am?" I wasn't aware that I was on halt to study the painting.

"Don't call me that! I feel old. Call me Lexie" I said with a smile on my face while offering my hands for him. He just kept staring at them with confusion. No handshakes! My hands still offered for a handshake. Now the car ride doesn't seem so awkward.

"It's rude to displease a lady Micheal." I turned my head to the sound.  As I met my eyes with the owner of the voice.

"You must be Alexandra Anderson, Now thats a mouthful!" he said and started laughing. I stared at this stranger. Is he for real. He is laughing at my name. Infront of me?

"I'm sorry. I meant its a charming name but you cant deny the fact its also a mouthful. Now you are being rude by staring at me. My name is Noah. I am Mr.Henderson's assistant. You must be the surgeon."

"I thought assistant are suppose to be sexy girls?" that came out loud? "I'm sorry. I had no intention of saying that out loud!" I couldn't stop blushing due to Noah's hysterical laugh. For the first time I noticed a smile on the driver's face.

"At least Micheal is smiling!" My remark made Noah to laugh more loudly.

"You are funny for a doctor. I thought they are all suppose to be grumpy and sleep deprived maniac with dark circles under their eye. I was actually looking forward to see a panda." Noah said after finishing his laughing session.

"Well I was looking forward for a sexy legged prostitiutely dressed woman. Since we are both disappointed its even now."

"It would be fun having you around here!"

"What do you mean by around here?". Are they planning to open a hospital in the mansion? Weird rich people.

"Follow  me!" He ignored my question and started walking. I remained quite as I didn't wanted to make a fool out of my self any further than necessary.

I was lead inside a study. As the rest of the the mansion it had outstanding interior. Furniture's that makes me want to polish them everyday. A carpet I would vacuum every 12 hours. But all this made me realize that I would still live in a simple place rather than here. Living here would be tiring. Thinking not to spill anything on the carpet. Too stressful. I cant live here. Too elegant for my taste.

"Alexandra you may sit down Mr. Henderson just went to attend a phone call he will be with you shortly". With that he left the study. Again I started checking out the place. I walked to the near by painting. DC. Again? Who is this painter they are so interested of? And what is DC? District of Columbia?

"I can assure you DC doesn't stand for District of Columbia." I snapped my head to the direction of the sound. Black Forest cake gives no justice to his stunning look. How did he know what I was thinking? Did I say it out loud too?

"You didn't say it out loud! I was just guessing since it was Noah's first guess. And by looking at your face I know my guess was right. Please have a seat doctor." I quickly sat on the chair.

"Why did you specialize in cardio thoracic?"

"I like the feeling when I have a heart on my hands. The rush is full of adrenaline."

"Whats the best thing being a cardio thoracic surgeon?"

" People say 'I love you from all my heart' I love to prove them wrong. And when they ask what do you know about hearts I love to say I am a heart surgeon."

"So you like to belittle people?". Well that was unexpected.

"I guess the time has come to believe that we don't love from our hearts. Just like the time people started believing that Earth is round not flat. And for belittling people was never my intentions ever. I just don't like the fact that they are in a misunderstanding. Plus they asked me the question how I know. I was simply answering a question." he just gave a smirk.

"Your personality is quite interesting doctor but I am not interested in it. Tell me rare heart conditions on the spot?"

"Eisenmenger Syndrome, ARCV Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy, Right Heart Hypoplasia, Tricuspid Atresia... ummm..." He raised an eye brow.

"What do you know about the last one?"

"Sorry?"

"Tricuspid Atresia. What do you know about it?"

"It is the third most common cyanotic congenital heart defect.Tricuspid Atresia is the most common cause of Cyanosis with left ventricular hypertrophy. Cyanosis is bluish discoloration of skin. And Left ventricular hypertrophy is the thickening of the left chamber of the heart. What happens in this disease is that ummm. Well do you know how a heart works?" I questioned him and I knew he has no idea what I was talking about! I grabbed a pen from the pen holder and a paper on the desk and started drawing the heart. To make him understand more.

" Its very simple actually. Heart has a left side and a right side and both of the side is again divided too. So basically its divided into four chambers. Right atrium, right ventricle and left atrium and left ventricle." I explained my writing the names on my diagram.

"Why did you write left on right and right on left?" he asked me with confusion still filled on his eyes. I took the paper from the table and hold it on my chest. Making the diagram I drew facing him.

"Now its correct right? Both of them is on the right side!" He nodded in agreement.

"So, what happens is that the oxygen pour blood-. Do you know the function of the heart?"

"No!"

Well this is gonna be a long interview.
