ROYALTY

Chapter 20

Debby eventually called the medical centre and they deemed that Ashton does not need to go to the hospital, they examined him immediately and prescribed drugs. Concerning his insomnia, the doctors recommended that he keeps a sleep schedule and after the upcoming exams that he goes on vacation from work for at least two weeks.

Debby was finally able to pry off her hands from Ashton when his grip was weaker as he slept and proceeded to do her work on her chair which wasn’t so comfortable for her. Eventually, she took control of Genevieve’s bed much to her dismay.

Cathy got back about thirty minutes into Ashton sleeping and Brianna came in over an hour later. Right now, they’re having dinner with Debby glaring at her phone.

Ashton’s secretary somehow got her phone number and has been disturbing her ever since saying that Ashton’s attention is needed despite multiple attempts to tell the guy that Ashton is sick. When Ashton wakes up, she’s so going to deal with him for causing her so much trouble.

The phone rang again. Honestly, she really feels like throwing her phone through the window but she still has enough rationality to know that the phone isn’t the culprit. The culprit is Ashton’s secretary. No one should stop her this time from killing him.

The phone stopped ringing and they breathed out in relief…until the phone rang again. Debby picked up the phone angrily and said some words that are not to be said to the poor secretary. He shivered in his spot and started questioning his life choices. He didn’t call again after that. Debby felt contented and proud of her self though not necessarily proud of what she said.

The phone rang again but this time, it wasn’t Debby’s work phone that Ashton’s secretary has been bothering her on, it was her personal phone. Only those on earth can call that number.

“So help me, if it’s for a stupid reason.”  She picked the phone without checking the number this time.

“Hey, have you seen Ashton? He isn’t here yet and he isn’t picking” It was Jacob. Debby calmed down instantly.

“He’s sick and passed out here. He apparently has insomnia and fever. Come pick him up.” Debby ate out of the stupid Salad that Genevieve made for dinner claiming that it was good for the health. Salad is no food, it’s just trash that makes her more hungry. She is so going to buy ice-cream after eating this God forsaken food.

“No way, I leave him in your care.” Jacob shook denying Debby’s request immediately.

“Why?” She yelled.

“It’s better for you to care for him than us. I’m sure he’ll want you to care for him.” Jacob added sheeply.

“I don’t care, I want my bed back!” Debby yelled. Genevieve yelled along.

“She has taken procession of mine.” Genevieve started crying anime tears. Debby took has been on her bed since.

“Look I am sorry.” He hung up. Debby tried calling several times but he refused to pick up. Tyler and Jason didn’t pick up either.

Debby groaned and washed her plate clean. She checked Ashton and after confirming he was okay and still passed out went to jump on Brianna’s bed. Much to Brianna’s dismay. Genevieve however was happy that she finally got rid of Debby.

“So Cathy.” Genevieve called. Cathy glanced at her. “Is there anything going on? I’ve been noticing that you have been mean, more than usual.”

“Nothing, everything is fine.” Cathy groaned and flashed a fake smile.
If Genevieve, Brianna and Debby haven’t been close to Cathy, they won’t have noticed the smile was fake but they’ve lived with her for close to a year and they’re her best friends. If they can’t tell the smile is fake, they will be the most set of stupid persons on this earth.
