Last Night...
When Lisa left Samuel's house there was someone else too. Maybe listening to their conversation. No one knew about that person's existence there. Just as Lisa left, that person stepped down from above through the staircase.
Here Samuel was worrying about whether Lisa understood him or will she leave him alone while sitting on the sofa when suddenly the bell of his house rang.
He went to open the door,
'Jeremy?? What are you doing here?' Asked Sam as he saw Jeremy standing on the threshold of his house.
'Well...actually, Niall ordered me to take that black file from you if you're done editing out the mistakes from it.' Said Jeremy.
'Oh! yeah, Wait here. for a moment.' Said, Sam
He went in to take the file from his room. He came out handed over the file to him,
'Here you go.' He said.
'Yup, thanks. You see Niall's been a lot more psycho since Sarah's on work. So, he's asking me to do such things.' He said scratching his forehead.
'No worries, I know how he is.' Said Sam.
'By the way...I saw that girl coming out of your house, again.' He said and smirked with raised eyebrows.
'You mean Lisa?' Said and Sam and Jeremy gave expressions that he remembered something which he had forgotten.
'Yeah, she was here a while ago. Why? Do you have any problem?' Asked Sam to be a bit rude.
'Not at all.' Said Jeremy and lifted his hands a bit in the position of surrendering.
'Why would I?' He said, smirked, and went downstairs towards the exit of the building.
Samuel closed the door of his house without knowing that someone has been keeping n eye on him all this time. He has no idea what's coming next...

Present...
I tried to call mom but she didn't pick up so I called Sarah instead,
'Hello Caroline, how are you? It's been a long time since we talked.' She said as soon as she picked up the phone.
I was happy to hear her voice after a long time. When I used to live with mama she was my only friend that existed. She was more like a sister to me than a friend.
'Oh! Sarah, I missed you so much.' I said.
'Aye, I missed you more than you missed me. You were the only sister I had at that time.' She said.
And it hit me, I was the only sister she had at that time what did it meant,
'What do you mean by you had, I'm your sister at currently too.' I said being a bit mad.
'Hey fool, what I mean to say is I've found one more girl like you. She is just as same as you but there's one thing different.' She said.
'Different what?' I inquired.
'She is a bit cuter than you.' She said and started laughing.
'Sarah, I. Hate. You.' I said though it was a lie.
How could I hate such a nice and polite girl?
'Well there's good news for you and mama, you wanna hear?' I said.
'Yeah, of course.' She replied instantly.
'I'm coming back home!!' I exclaimed with full joy.
'What!! Really!! When?' She asked being happy.
'This weekend I'll be there. I've got a job as a psychiatrist in a famous hospital. The hospital in which everyone dies to work.' I said.
'I'm curious, say the name first, than anything else.' She said.
'Well, well, well. The name is Rutherford Medic Centre.' I said.
'What!! Oh my God! You hit the jackpot and that means you'll be living with us?' She asked.
'Of course. But yeah, don't tell mom about this. I want to give her a surprise.
'Oh! Aunt Margret will be so happy. I can't even imagine. Please come quickly will be waiting.' She said and we ended the phone call with byes.

I was excited to meet Cally. After all, we were meeting after almost nine months. Oh! it's going to be so much fun. I thought but then I realized, I was working and I have to concentrate on working again to avoid any yelling of an arrogant ass.
I continued to work when Mr. Niall called for me.
'Yes Mr. Niall, you need anything?' I asked as I went into his cabin.
'Today's schedule, please read it out for me.' He said holding the tablet in his hand and looking at a file.
It was irritating, can't he read it on its own. Why does he need me to read it? Well, then, there came the name of my post, Manager. So I sighed in defeat and read out every meeting and appointments he had today.
'.....At 01'o you have a lunch meeting which approximately will go for two hours and then, at 04:30 pm you have to a snack meeting with some people who want to do a startup by taking loans from our company. After that, you have to attend the party of your father at 8 p.m. That's it.' I finally finished and took a deal breath and looked at him.
He looked a bit confused about something, but before I could ask something he said,
'Party? But I told Emma that I'm not going there, then why did you add it to the schedule?' He asked.
I knew he was going to get mad again so I asserted immediately,
'Emma was the one who told me to add it.' I said.
'Cut it out, I'm not going there.' He said.
I nodded and asked,
'Anything else, Mr. Niall?'
'No, you may leave now.' He said.
I was about to leave when he stopped me,
'Ms. Brown!' He said and I turned around.
'They've said to attend in pairs. So...find a pair for me.' He said and started looking back at the files.
What?? Why would I?? I'm not his servant, and who'll take my permission? I thought. But then, there came the name of my post, Manager and I again sighed in defeat.

As came to my cabin and sat the first person that entered was Sam.
'May I?' He asked formally.
'Yea..yeah, why formal?' I asked but he didn't give any explanation.
He sat in front of me and said,
'Why did you call me here, when we could've talked about this at my home.' He said being a bit rude.
What happened to him I didn't know.
'You'd to come here one day, and I guess this is that day.' I said warmly.
'What do you think I'm a psychopath?' He yelled. Not at a very high pitch, but I could feel that he was very frustrated.
'No, you not who said so?' I asked.
'Then, why. The. Hell. I am here?' He said.
'Calm down and let me tell you. After what you told me yesterday I feel that there's nothing improper in you.' I said.
He looked at me in great anger and frustration. Last night when he told me about how he felt disgusted about himself I got to know something about him. He had some symptoms of a very uncommon disease, it could rarely happen to two people out of ten. I, as a doctor, determined that I'll treat him and cure his disease.
'Then, what is this feeling? You think I'm lying.' He said being rude again.
'No, you're not. But you've some mental illness. Don't wo..'
'That's enough!! Lisa!!' He screamed. He banged the table with his palms and stood up.
Before I could say anything Dr. Ray came in.
'Lisa? You're alright?' He asked just as he opened the door.
Before Sam could say anything I signalled Dr. Ray to wait outside and he closed the door.
'Sam, don't make a scene. Sit down calmly.' I said staring at him with a bit of anger.
Last night I did a research and I knew that he was frustrated. I was trying my best to calm him down. He finally, sat down.
'Look, you've HOCD. It is a disease in which the person thinks he is transgender. It's a very rare mental disease but, I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with you. And...I will prove it.' I said.
He sat there totally uncomfortable but the moment he heard about the disease he looked at me. His eyes were a bit teary. I know him for a very long time and, I know that he doesn't cry easily. The last time cried was when our friend had an accident. That was his last time until now. I stood up and hugged him tightly just to assure him that he has me and I'll cure him.
'I'll cure you.' I whispered while hugging him.

I stood outside because I was afraid. Samuel was out of his mind today and I didn't want anyone to hurt Lisa again. After that Sunday I try my best to keep a check on her patients. I stood there and suddenly I saw through the glass-framed in the centre of the door that Lisa was hugging him. I again felt a bit of anger and a bit of jealousy running through my whole body. I stood there clutching my doctor coat from inside the pocket.
I finally decided to tell Lisa about my feelings as soon as possible...
