Chapter 57 - Growing Impatience

"We have been waiting here for the past two hours without any news. How much more time will you people take to at least tell what happened to my daughter?" Oliver questioned the doctor who stepped out of the observation theatre

"Mr. Miller, even we are repeating that we need time to say anything. We are running tests and we can only say something when the reports come out. We have injected salines into Ms. Miller, we are sure that she will open her eyes within some time. Please don't tense yourself. We will take care of her," the doctor assured and left the place

"How can the doctors say like this? Aren't they supposed to treat my baby and make her smile again?" Oliver said looking at Tim

"Sir, as they said they are trying hard. We will meet Louisa within sometime until then please be cool and have these" Tim said giving a cookie pack and an energy squash

"Tim, seriously? You want me to have these while my daughter is suffering over there?" Oliver questioned pointing towards the observation theatre

"Sir, Louisa is already weak. We can't risk your health too. So it will be better if you have something. It's past lunch hour but you didn't even eat a morsel. You know very well about your health condition. With diabetes in your body, you need to eat something at the gap of every two hours, but here you are totally ignoring that," Tim said with an authoritative voice

"So bossing over your boss?" Oliver gave a small smile

"I think I can do that when my Boss is adamant about his health. Please have something Sir, at least have the squash. It is sugar-free" Tim said placing it in Oliver's hand

When Oliver didn't even open the lid, Tim spoke, "Even Louisa won't feel good if she comes to know that her lovely father is ignoring food thus ignoring health"

"So emotional blackmail? That won't work before me" Oliver smiled

While Tim pouted hearing to Oliver, he smiled a little

"Okay I will drink the squash, but you never try to pull such faces that don't suit you," Oliver said opening the bottle lid

"Sir, we need to talk with you personally," one of the senior doctors said standing opposite to Oliver while he was about to drink the squash

"Yeah okay" replied Oliver

"This way Sir," the doctor lead him

The main hall, Asher's Den

"I have clearly informed everyone that I need privacy then why are you knocking on the door continuously?" Asher questioned opening the door after several knocks which disturbed his thoughts

"You are supposed to be at the office this time Asher but you have left to the hospital with Miller's and you have not made any call informing about your situation. You just mailed us that you need privacy. What is that? Don't you think we will be worried about you?" Jordan questioned stepping into the darkroom

"This is my place, not yours. I need a little peace so I came here and what is the most important thing which brought you here?" Asher questioned seriously

"I am your father Asher, I do worry about you. Don't you think I have the right to know about my son?" Jordan questioned Asher

"Worry? Why do you need to worry about me? I am perfectly all right. When I have messaged you I need privacy you should have respected that. But you didn't and I clearly know that there is something more than worry which is pricking you. Let that out" Asher said sitting on the couch

"Okay, if you are going straight forward why should I take a step back. Why have you behaved in such a way with Millers all of a sudden when the news about Louisa broke? Did you observe Oliver's expressions while you got worried about his daughter? How can you turn like that all of a sudden? You just forgot everything how can you do that?" Jordan questioned

"She is in distress and I wanted to help her so I did that. What will Miller do to me? He doesn't have any superpowers in his eyes which will burn me," Asher said with a chuckle

"Asher, I am serious. You have totally behaved like a lovesick puppy when you heard Louisa is unwell, you have skipped office and meetings. You have helped them in every way, which is good, but you have stayed with them for many hours; won't they get any doubts? You got access to their systems but you are not even working on that and spending time in this dark ambiance" Jordan said to him

"You thought I will start working on Lox Organization just because I got access to it? They are not laymen they have a hell lot of connections and they have teams that have started building retracting security to build their software. They have their eyes everywhere even more than before; one step against them in this situation will permanently end everything for us. So we need to be more diligent and careful. I have even ordered the production team to halt the work on the new space shuttle we are working on as if we bring that out now definitely the Millers may think that we are doing things to belittle them. We don't have to risk anything nope; our plan should be to achieve what we are wishing for all this time" Asher replied

"When you have sorted out everything so clearly then what are you doing here? You usually come here when there is something serious running in your mind or when you need answers to questions. But now that you have all the answers why are you here skipping office and what are you deeply engrossed in?" Jordan questioned

"Louisa is unconscious when we opened the door and now she is in the hospital but we have no information about her. The total hospital is filled with Henry Broad's security teams. The premises are secured too. It is highly impossible to get any information from there at any cost. But I need to know how she is doing and what is her position" Asher replied

"Just like always you want to know about the seemingly impossible thing. Why do you need to know the information about her? When she returns home we all will obviously know what took place because the media will provide the required input," Jordan replied

"Do you still believe that the Millers will let any information out? They are known for being the most safe players and from now on they will be more diligent after the newspaper picture fiasco. The small peak opened for us to reach them will be totally shut down. We need to be careful yet find opportunities to do what we are supposed to do. Try to understand the gravity of the situation we are in" Asher said banging on the glass table placed exactly opposite to him

"Asher, being angry will fetch nothing to us. You know we all are doing everything you are saying without even questioning back because we all trust you. But don't just be mad about something and lose everything we have earned until now" Jordan spoke

"We? There is no we here. You may think of that as pride but everything we are now is just because of me. This is my relentless planning and dream which I am seeing for all the years and I won't let it shatter now" Asher said seriously
