The Vet Of A Bachelor

🐶 Chapter Four 🐱

"(Name) get your ass up now!"

I shrieked, obviously startled by my loud mouthed assistant, who barged through her front door. Why was I downstairs? Well I fell asleep on the couch the last night, with my cat's and Leela, watching (Show) on Netflix after growing too lazy to walk up the stairs to her bedroom. "Ow. Hey what's the deal?" I asked as Shion shoved me off the couch. "Get your ass up now! I just got a call from Ayano and she said that she's been trying to call you all morning!" She yelled as I stumbled onto her feet, somewhat light headed from the glasses of wine I consumed before falling asleep on the couch. What can I say, a glass of wine sounds great after being sold off to an old man. "Apparently you have a scheduled surgery that you forgot about and the woman isn't going to leave until you perform the surgery on her cat." She said looking down at her tablet. "Ah! I did? Okay- Erm... Call Ayano and tell her to prep an available room for surgery and have Nelly and Chyo on hand with five available nurses." I said counting on my fingers. "Got it. Now go get dressed I'll get you some breakfast." She said shooing me towards my room. I turned around, tripping over Lord Tubbington and ultimately face planting on the carpet.

This is just not my morning.

I sighed, ignoring Shion who was laughing behind me and ran up the stairs two at a time. "Crap! Crap! Crappity crap!" I mumbled as I rounded the corner and walked into my , slamming the door open with so much force it came back and hit me in the forehead. "Ouch! Damn it!" I yelled, pushing the door open and walking calmly inside. "Don't kill yourself up there (Name)!" I heard Shion yell from down stairs. "I won't!" I yelled as I walked over to my bathroom, unzipping my dress and tossing it into the hamper. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror, cringing slightly at the fact that the small amount of makeup I had on last night had smeared and I now looked like a clown reject. I reached down and opened the drawer with my makeup wipes, deciding that I would just clean up on the ride to the hospital.

Crap. What hospital were we going to? I'm going to have to prep for surgery so it can't be a clinic. But which one? If I go to the one that has the McDonalds next to the cafe then I have to deal with Kaito's rant's about my having a date but if I go to the one with the Aquarium then I have to deal with both Ayato and Rin's rants. It's a lose lose.

I groaned as I grabbed the wipes from the drawer and walked out grabbing a off the wall before walking over to my drawers and grabbing a sweater tossing it over my head before shimmying on some jeans. I shoved my feet into some socks before shoving them into a pair of Doc Martins and throwing my hair up into a messy bun. This is okay for today, I'm going to be working after all not attending a meeting. I grabbed my phone, nearly screaming as it was at thirty four percent, and tucked it into my purse along with my wallet, house keys and the makeup wipes.

"Shion let's get a move on!" I shouted as I ran down the stairs. "Wait! Breakfast isn't ready!" Shion yelled and I shrugged. "We'll get something from starbucks on the way to the hospital now let's go!" I yelled back as I swung open the door to see Gou and Ayami walking down the driveway. "Good morning (Name)." They said waving at me. "Ah, good morning you two! I have to run but you already know your daily chores so get to it, Lord Tubbington might be in a bad mood today because I tripped over him earlier so be weary of that and let me know what you want for lunch today so I can order it." I said quickly as Shion walked out. "What the hell are you wearing? You have a meeting with the nutritionists working on your 'Cakes for Cats' bakery!" Shion shouted angrily while I ran to where the town car was patiently waiting. "Oh my G- No! No let's go I have an extra outfit in my office for the meeting!" I said as I recalled my emergency Meeting outfit that was hanging in my room. As you can tell I either forget or am not informed of meeting and events a lot in my busy life.

"Bye (Name)!" Gou yelled as he waved bye along with his sister. "Have a good day (Name)!" Ayami yelled as she gave me a thumbs up. "Bye you two!" I yelled as Shion shoved me into the car. "Go! Go!" She yelled as she shut the door. "What would I do without you Shion." I sighed as I buried my head in my hands. "You'd be out of a job with how forgetful you are." She laughed as she rubbed my back soothingly. It's true though, I would be out of work with how forgetful I am and how busy the hospitals keep me- Which is something Shion continues to remind me of.

Shion and I met on my first day of Paramount University after a misunderstanding with one of the older students. She cut in and quickly soothed the situation with her smile and use of big words. Surprisingly we met again in my Medical Terminology class which is something she admitted she didn't really want to take. She didn't see herself as a doctor or a veterinarian but she did want to work with animals and in order to do that she needed to know the basic medical terminology. Luckily for her I had already decided on having a veterinary hospital and mentioned that I needed an assistant and that was when the idea for (Last Name) Luxury Animal Hospital came into thought and after we made that happen we moved onto a second location and now we have six luxury animal hospitals and clinics, and four rescue sanctuaries.

But I honestly couldn't have done it without Shion. Sure my parents had a medical background with my father being a surgeon and my mother being a veterinary assistant but if it weren't for Shion dragging me to study groups and the writing center every other day then I doubt I would have passed that semester. She helped me get through my studies while she breezed through her own.

"(Name)!"

I jumped, slightly dazed at the fact that Shion was shaking me. When did I fall asleep? "(Name) what do you want?" Shion asked as I looked over at the Starbucks menu. "Uh, a medium Java Chip Frap and (Breakfast Food)." I yelled through the open window. "Hey do you want anything Senji?" I asked looking over at the driver's seat. "No thanks Miss (Name), my wife made me a big breakfast this morning." He said and I nodded. "Okay that's all." Shion said to the box. "Okay that will be eighteen fifty at the first window please." The man said and pulled out my credit card from my wallet. "Okay, well now that you're not dozing off I can ready you your agenda." Shion said and groaned. Sometimes I hate that my hospitals are so popular.

For the remainder of the ride Shion and I talked about my schedule and what I should really focus on in the Cakes for Cats bakery which is something I couldn't help but fawn over. I love all of my cats equally, one is not more beautiful than the other but I am leaning more towards Lord Tubbington to be the face of my new project.

I mean think of it, Lord Tubbington in a bow tie or a chefs hat- No. In a bow tie with a chefs hat and a french mustache standing in front of a beautifully decorated cake with a paw print. Well maybe I'm thinking too hard about this. I still have to meet with the nutritionists and see if we can come up with a cake that cats will enjoy eating and try to develope different flavors for different pastries.

"(Name) we're here." I looked over at Shion who was holding open the door. I grabbed my nearly untouched drink and purse and stepped out of the car. "Thanks Senji, see you later." I said as Shion closed the door. I walked quickly through the front entrance of the hospital. "Ah! Doctor (Name) There's someone waiting for you!" I heard the woman at the front desk shout as I walked past her. "Yes I know. Get the cat ready for surgery and bring me her file." I said taking out my keys and shoving them into the lock of my office. "No Doctor (Name) There's someone in-" I walked in and closed the door. I walked around my desk, paying no mind to my surroundings as I tossed my purse onto my desk and walked over to my closet to prepare my clothes of the meeting.

"Hello again Doctor (Name)."
