Alex's POV
"It's a great honor to have been given the opportunity to work with you guys, I am looking forward to knowing you all. And with your help and support, we will make this hospital a greater and better place for all, thanks." Emma said as she bowed a little and stepped back from the podium.
What's she doing here?
I thought she was the secretary of the Neurosurgeon organization.
How is she now the deputy director of the hospital?
The meeting was done and I waited by the door so that I could talk to Emma.
"I guess you were surprised to see Emma too doctor" Jasmine said as she walked up to me.
It's been a while since she called me doctor and it sounds weird now.
I liked it better when she calls my name.
"Are you seriously going to continue ignoring me?" Jasmine asked and then Emma came.
"Hey, how are you guys doing?" She asked with a smile but I remained quiet and so did Jasmine.
"I guess you both are surprised on seeing me here" Emma said.
"I thought you were the secretary to the president of the Neurosurgeon society" I said.
"I am and since the Seminar for this year is already done, I asked the President for a favour, to fix me here in London and he did, he has lots of connections after all."
"Why did you want to come to London?" Jasmine asked.
"First, to work and earn more money, second, to help you guys."
"You came all the way from Brazil to London just to help us?" Jasmine asked surprised just like I was.
"Yes Jasmine and rather than asking all this questions like an investigator, you should be happy I came to help clean up the mess you caused. Maybe you still don't know what you did but lemme enlighten you, because of you, Alex might be sacked and arrested" Emma said.
She sounds like she hates Jasmine.
"I..... You are right, it is my fault, I am really sorry, I'll try and find a solution to this" Jasmine said and started walking but I quickly held her hand.
"Where are you going?" I asked and she smiled.
"You finally spoke to me, I'm sorry for putting you in this tight spot but I'm going to do all I can to make sure you don't have to quit being a doctor" she said and walked away.
"At least now she knows it's her fault" Emma said.
"It's not her fault Emma, I made the decision myself, she never asked me to make that recording" I said.
"She asked you to save her and you did thereby getting yourself in trouble but now that I'm here. I'll see what I can do, go home and rest for today, I'll try to come up with a plan by tomorrow" she said and walked away.
There's definitely something strange about Emma.
I waited in front of the elevator waiting for it to open so that I could go to my office.
The elevator dinged and the door opened.
The Prime Minister came out of the elevator.
"Doctor Alex" he called happily and I bowed a little.
"Good afternoon Sir" I greeted.
"You should've at least said your goodbyes before traveling, I just asked of you one day and I was told you've gone to Brazil" he said.
"I'm sorry Sir, it was an emergency journey, how is your daughter?" I asked.
"She's recovering well thanks to you."
"I thought by now, you'll have taken her home and gotten her a private doctor, why are you still keeping her here?"
"You are right Alex but I don't want to stress my little girl, she seems to be comfortable here and I think here is the safest place for her. I mean it will be harder for some to assassinate her here than if she's at home" the Prime Minister said.
"You sure do have a lot of enemies Sir."
"I have a lot of enemies because I know who and where my enemies are, so what about you? Have you figured out who your enemy is?" The Prime Minister asked.
"I think I have."
"Who? If I may ask" he said.
"Ryan, Ryan Wilson."
"You mean doctor Ryan?! The Neurosurgeon? The son of James Wilson?" he exclaimed.
"I am not really sure about his father's name but yeah, he's the one" I said.
"So he's the one that tried to kill my daughter?" The Prime Minister asked obviously getting angry.
"Yeah and I am in a tough situation right now, he's gonna blackmail me, he's got this recording that he'll use to prove that I tried to kill your daughter" I said.
"What? You know what Alex, we'll discuss about this when I come here tomorrow, for now, I have a very important meeting to attend."
"Sure, thanks."
"I've read your biography Alex, heard you have one of the highest IQ in the world. Your brain is a weapon itself, learn how to use it and no one will ever be able to put you down" he said as he patted my shoulder and then walked away.
I stood transfixed for a minute.
Somehow, I feel like that was a fatherly advice and it felt nice.
My phone ranged and it was Tony.
🗨️ Heard you are back, where are you?
"I'm still in the hospital" I said.
🗨️ And I just left the hospital, anyway how was the trip?
"Honestly, I don't even know the right adjective to use to describe how the trip was, lots of things happened Tony.
🗨️ Let's meet at your place in the next one hour then and we'll talk.
"Okay" I said and then he end the call.
