As You Wish, Doctor

Daniel's POV

Daniel's POV

After his eventful meeting, Daniel was forced to head out to work.  With everything that has just happened, he really didn't want to grace the Rojas, Inc. headquarters with his presence.  However, he knew that his secretary would tattle on him to his father, and he didn't really want to deal with his dad calling him out on something at his tender age of 27. 

Walking into the sleek building on 31st Avenue, he was suddenly grateful for the invention of the air conditioner.  Daniel had completely forgotten that he could’ve called for the limo to meet him at the hospital, but he completely forgot, and he was forced to walk, yet again, to headquarters, which was roughly 20 blocks away.  I don’t think this day could get any worse. 

Not stopping to say hello to the front secretary, he silently shuffled across the lobby towards the elevator so he could head to the top floor where his office was located.  He stood there for five minutes before hearing the familiar ding that the elevator had finally arrived.  Stepping into the small cube, Daniel immediately regretted not fixing the size of the elevator as soon as his father had given him the CEO position.  Since he was young boy, Daniel hated small, enclosed spaces, and if his office wasn't located on the 25th floor of the building, he would've been content taking the stairs. 

Lucky for Daniel, there was only one elevator that went all the way to the top floor, and it was only for his use and his use only, which meant that he only suffered for about 5 minutes as his private elevator rushed to his targeted floor.  When he finally heard the second familiar ding, indicating that the elevator was about to open its doors, Daniel quickly scrambled out of the enclosed space. 

“Good afternoon, Mr. Rojas,” he heard from his secretary, Johanna, in her usually quirky voice.  Daniel smiled when he saw her.  She wasn't what society called “pretty,” in fact, as far as looks go, with her shoulder-length, bushy brown hair, tied back haphazardly in a low ponytail and her large round glasses, she could be described as an average-looking young woman.  What she didn't have in looks, however, she completely made up in personality.  Johanna was a sweet, albeit awkward, girl, but she could make Daniel laugh whenever he felt as if he was having a bad day.  Her only flaw was that she follows instructions very well, and since Daniel’s father, Francisco, instructed her to keep him updated about his son, she keeps him informed about his every step…and that included whenever he decided that he wanted a day off. 

“Good afternoon, Johanna.  How does my schedule look today?”

She quickly types something into the keyboard, while keeping her eyes on the computer screen.  “Hmm…It seems like you have nothing else scheduled today…”

Daniel nodded curtly walked into his office.  Why did I come in today?  He sat in his comfortable, leather swivel chair behind his desk, and then he picked up the phone.  “Hello, Benjamin.  Yes this is me.  I need you to send a car to pick me up from headquarters at 5:00.  And I need you to do something with my car…”

After hours of working, Daniel decided that he needed to blow off some steam by going to the gym.  Lucky for him, his family owned their own chain of gyms, where he had his free membership, and it was only a stone’s throw away from Rojas Inc. 

He walked into his gym around 5:15 and scanned his membership card.  He started to head in the direction of the men’s locker room when he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out to him, “Daniel!”  He turned around to see his old friend, and ex-boyfriend, Christopher Reinos, heading in his direction.  He was wearing his workout clothes: a pair of black and yellow shorts, that were tight on his nicely toned legs, a damp, grey wife beater that did its job perfectly by showing off the muscles that he has worked on over the years, and a pair of black Adidas tennis shoes.  His black hair was only made more perfect by the sweat from his workout, and his stunning green eyes looked excited to see the young CEO.
