Chapter 18

Secretarial Duties

My phone rang an in the middle of the night. And I had barely got any sleep tonight. The reason was her. Miss Morgan wasn't by my side and the pain wasn't helping much. Most of my days now are filled with work I have missed and then there is my sister who is just came out a huge ordeal and she still not fully out of danger.

"Do you realise what time it is Miss Morgan?" I asked her irritated. "Yes, exactly twelve fifteen in midnight." She told me, the nerve of her "is this how you treat your employer Miss Morgan don't you fear about your Job?" I asked. "I am doing my job Mr. King didn't you told me that I shall report you if anything changes?" She asked.

In the middle of the night? She sure knows how to torture me; I think she is punishing me for something I didn't do. Like pissing her off? "Or perhaps you don't have any interest in knowing the condition of your niece you just ordered that so I cannot be near you." "What are you talking about?" I asked. "Just what you heard Mr. King same as I said." Oh really? You think I am afraid you? Why should I be afraid?

You know exactly why you are afraid of her; you love her and the closeness will make you do things you do not want to.

No one controls me but me. I have to show her who is the boss. "You are very much wrong about this Miss Morgan. Fine then, you want to be my secretary? Then you will be my secretary. Miss Morgan, I want you to come here at once with every report you have on the baby. I like to see that myself. Bring them to me and I will see how much you actually worked." "What Now?" She asked. "Yes Miss Morgan, now, I don't know how you come but you will come if you love your job." And I cut the call.

Now how you like to be my secretary Miss Morgan? You will feel it all the pains of being my secretary. She will pay for mocking me. She will pay very dearly. Now all I have to do is wait for her to show up and if she didn't, then she has another thing coming for her. If she thinks she can push me around and then she can boss me then she is very wrong. Miss Morgan your troubles have just started.

I was going through tomorrow conference details when suddenly the elevator bell went off. And came inside a very angry secretary of mine. "Are you forgetting something Miss Morgan?" "I am not forgetting anything Sir" Oh is that so? "Haven't you got any lesson in common curtsy Miss Morgan? Have you not learned that you need someone's permission before coming into their home?" I asked.

"For your kind information sir, you are the one who had deliberately invited me to your home at the middle of the night and for what so you could insult me?" She asked. "Insulting you will be less entertaining than playing on my X-box and definitely much less productive." She fumed more. Isn't it entertaining to see her squirm? I bet t is pretty much entertaining then a soap opera.

"Oh, did I?" I asked her. "Wasn't it what you said over the phone call Sir?" Oh, it is too much fun to annoy her. I kind of love it. Annoying her. "maybe I suppose I did Miss Morgan I am getting awfully forgetful all of a sudden." I told her and she wasn't very happy knowing that. "Now, if you have remembered then you too will remember why you have called me here? Don't you?"

I poured myself some wine and asked her "Why don't you tell me Miss Morgan, look like you remember everything from our conversation." She shied. "why are you drinking so late at night? It is not going to do any good for you and your condition." "What condition, don't you see I am perfectly fine Miss Morgan. Or you think everyone you meet is a troubled soul?" I asked her.

"I don't think that you are a troubled soul, I know you are a troubled soul Mr. King. You may think you can hide your true self from everyone but someone will be there who can see through your act" "And you think you are the one who can see through me? That is not true Miss Morgan. I am not hiding anything from anyone." I told her. "You can fool yourself but you are not fooling me."

"Now, have to gotten the report?" I asked. She took the glass from my hand and placed it back on the table. "And what exactly you think you are doing Miss Morgan?" I asked. "Helping you, when was the last time you had checked your wound? Have you been redressing the wound lately?" She asked. Why does she care even if I died? She didn't want to have to do anything with me.

"Have I not been clear Miss Morgan? I don't want to have any kind of help from you. I don't want you to take care of me. I am not a baby." She touched my shirt and started unbuttoning it. "Just what you think you are doing?" "You are behaving like an errant child right now, holding on to the unnecessary grudges" I pushed her back. "Don't you dare touch me Miss Morgan I am warning you"

"You need to quit yapping and let me take a look, you clearly are in pain, aren't you?" She asked. "I am fine, thank you, I don't need your wits to know when I am in pain" She tried to touch me again. "Miss Morgan, I told you I don't need your help don't you understand this simple little thing? I don't need you to tell me what my body needs and what I am going to need to do keep myself healthy," She held my arm and another jolt of electricity passed through me.

"Don't touch me." I put my arm out of her reach. "Don't be stubborn and let me check you Mr. King, before you hurt yourself more for your false pride." "I don't have any false pride. Fine if that is the price of you leaving me alone then you can check that wound and redress it. Then you can just show me the reports after that you can leave me alone Miss Morgan."

She opened up the bandage and I hissed. "That is why it is hurting; it got a little infected. It is good I saw it when I did, didn't I? Or else for your stubbornness you might have get into bigger problem. Your body could have shut down and you might have gone into septic sock without even realising that you can die." "And why do you care if I had died?" I asked. "I don't know what you think about me Samuel Richard King, but I do care if something happens to you got it?"

I never seen her like this before. Sure, she can be scary when she wishes to be. "hey that stings can't you be a little careful?" I asked. "And cannot you just be a little bit quite and let me do my job? Remember you were the one who said you don't need my help, now quit being a baby and let me clean it up and I need to start on your antibiotics. I don't know how I thought I can ever leave you alone. It was my fault."

She disinfected the wound and then she bandaged it again. "Are you done now?" I asked. The pain is now talking. She looked into my eyes. "Don't you know when to stop? You are in pain and that wine will not do for you. You need to rest." Only if I can sleep I would but now a days I can hardly close my eyes without having a nightmare these days. I am afraid for my sister and her kid.

"You are burning up Samuel." I don't know why her tender touch and her voice soothe me. "I am alright. Now can you..." I felt like I am going to fall. "Sam, you need to lie down." "I am fine, I need to go on for my sister. I cannot five up now. I cannot, just..." She held my hand laid me to the bed. "What are you..." "Be quite for once Mr. King. You talk awfully lot and that is not healthy always. Quite now, you need to sleep and rest."

"I cannot sleep. I have a lot to do. A lot to figure out." "And you will figure it out once you will be ready to figure it out. Once you get better, you can figure things out." She told me. She pulled the duvet over me. "You will be better in morning and after that we can figure things out." I looked into her eyes, they shied with a promise,

"Are you going to leave hermosa? It is the pain it is too much and I am feeling cold so cold." I told her. "I am not going to leave you her alone Sam, I never intended to. Just don't push me away again please. I just want to be here for you. As I always wanted Sam" I stroked her cheek softly.

 I just want her to be here with me right now, I want her to understand me. I always wanted that. But I don't know opening up to her will do? I am really afraid that she is going to bring me down and I might not be able to handle that deadly blow.

She opened her jacket and got herself in one of my shirts. Then she slipped inside the covers. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Making sure that you don't feel cold my body heat will keep you war tonight." "But" She placed a finger over my lips. "Shhh... it's alright Sam, just for tonight you must forget that I am your secretary. Sleep tight you need it."

I need it but more than that I need her, I want her closer to me and myself.
