Shalimar shut down her laptop after paying off the bills she could online. Her savings account was almost empty and she still had to pay for her sister's hospital bills. She sighed.
She did not know what else to do.
She sold all she could sell but she still wasn't able to raise even a quarter of the money needed for her sister's heart transplant.
She even got a second job but nothing was working.
She needs money to buy a new heart for her sister and to cover the operation expenses.
Visiting her sister each day was torture. Emma could barely talk. Standing was not even considered and she breathed with the help of an oxygen tank.
She was losing hope. The people in charge of the charity at Bolt constructions were yet to get back to her. She had gone online again to their website only to see that they had already exceeded their quota for donations in that year.
Just yesterday, she saw the doctor. He told her that Emma had just two months to live if they didn't operate on her.
She ran around even went to the bank to beg for a loan all to no avail. Tears slid down her cheeks, she did not want to lose her sister as she was her only living relative.
The telephone in her living room rang. She wasn't able to get to it in time and it went to voicemail.
"Miss Smith, this is Darcy, Mr. Bolt's secretary. Mr. Bolt has requested your presence at the office tomorrow. I know it is your day off, don't worry about it for you will be compensated. Report to Mr. Bolt's office directly when you come at sharp nine."
Shalimar frowned. She set aside her off days to visit her sister. She decided to go because she needed the money and there was a possibility that they had reconsidered and accepted her application. She was going to see the CEO himself. She felt her hopes rising. She went to her bedroom to look for something suitable to wear. She opened her closet and searched through the small number of good clothes she had in it. She selected the one she thought best. She hoped that they had finally approved her application for a donation.
