Megan's POV
"Has Doctor Ryan arrived?" I asked one of the nurses when I got to the hospital.
"No, not yet" he replied.
"Okay thanks" I said and walked away.
I went to Doctor Ryan's office and slowly closed the door.
I just hope I can find the recorder here.
I searched the tables, drawers, shelf but I couldn't find anything.
"Where the hell did he keep the recorder?"
The door suddenly opened and Ryan came in.
My breathing increased and I freezed right on the spot.
"Good..... good morning Doctor" I stuttered.
"Are you looking for something?" He asked.
"I....am.....I...I was just looking for a file."
"What file?"
"The files of ummm.....the patients we are supposed to operate on today, I thought I left it here yesterday" I said quickly.
"How many patients do we have to operate on today?" He asked as he sat on the couch.
"Two" I replied.
"Postpone their surgery till tomorrow, I don't think I'm in the right mind to operate on anyone right now" he said as he brought out a black device from his pocket.
It's the recorder!
How the hell am I supposed to get it from him now.
"Is there still anything else you want to say?" He asked since I was just standing and staring at him.
"No, nothing, I'll take my leave now" I said as I quickly walked out.
I went to the washroom, brought out my phone and called Jasmine.
"Hey Jas."
🗨️ "Meg, were you able to get the recorder?" She asked.
"It's not as easy as you think Jas but I do know exactly where the recorder is."
🗨️ "Where?"
"With Ryan, he's holding it right now in his office but there's no way I can get it from him."
🗨️ "Ummm... gimme some minutes, I'll call you back soon" Jasmine said and ended the call.
Alex's POV
I sat in my office thinking hard on what to do and how to get the recording from Ryan.
There was a knock on the door and moments later, Emma walked in.
"What's wrong with you? You don't look fine" she said.
"Just thinking" I replied.
"Were you able to come up with any plan?" I asked Emma.
"Yeah but you aren't gonna like it" she said and I looked at her.
"Just say it."
"We need to...." The door suddenly opened and Jasmine ran in.
"I'm really sorry for barging it but it's really important" Jasmine said.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Remember I told you I have a cousin, Megan" she said and I nodded. "She's an anaesthesiologist and works for Ryan, so I asked her for a favor, I asked to help me get the recording from Ryan."
"That's a pretty good plan Jasmine, I think it's much better than my plan of kidnapping Ryan's father and using him to get back the recording from Alex" Emma said.
"What?" I exclaimed.
"I told you that you aren't gonna like my plan" Emma said with a shrug.
"Anyway, she just called and informed me that Ryan is in his office now with the recorder but there's no way of getting it from him" Jasmine said and I smiled.
To be honest I'm surprised, I never knew Jasmine was so concerned, for some reason it makes me happy to know she cares about me.
"We have to distract him and maybe, get him to leave the office without the recorder" I said.
"But how? There's absolutely no way Ryan will leave his office without the recorder" Jasmine said.
"There is actually, we can just used my plan...."
"We aren't kidnapping Ryan's father Emma" I interrupted
"We don't need to" she said as she took her phone "Forward Ryan's contact to me" she said and I did.
Then she pressed somethings and made a call.
"Will you explain all you just did?" I asked.
"I forwarded Ryan's contact to the emergency ward and I told them to call him that his Dad has been involved in a ghastly accident and his Dad might only have some minutes to live so he should come to the hospital immediately" Emma explained.
"So call your cousin and ask her to check Ryan's office, if luck is with us, then he will leave the recorder behind" Emma said and Jasmine quickly brought out her phone to call Megan.
"Hey Meg, you should check on Ryan now" she said.
Megan's POV
I left the washroom after receiving Jasmine's call and walked towards Ryan's office.
Suddenly Ryan ran out of his office and bumped into me.
"Where are you going Sir?" I asked.
"There's no time to explain, 911 just called me, my father got into an accident just take care of everything here" he said as he ran out.
I quickly went to his office but there was nothing on the table, he took the recorder!
I was about leaving when I saw something black on the couch where he was sitting before.
It's the recorder!
He left it on the couch!
I quickly took it and walked out of the office and out of the hospital.
Then I called Jasmine to tell her the good news.
Jasmine's POV
"She got the recorder!" I exclaimed as I got off the phone with Megan.
"Yess!" Emma said bumping a fist in the air while Alex moved closer to me and hugged me.
Okay this is so unexpected.
"Thank you so much Jasmine, thank you" he said and I smiled.
There was suddenly a knock on the door and Alex quickly moved back.
Moments later, Andrew came in.
"Ummm.... Doctor, about the surgery I told you about this morning, the patient is already in the O.R, Susan is their too and I just came to call you and Jasmine" Andrew said.
"I don't think I can perform the surgery now, maybe we should postpone it till....."
"Go Andrew, Alex will be there" Emma said interrupting Alex.
"Okay" Andrew said with a little bow and left.
"You should never postpone a surgery Alex, other things can be postponed but a person's life can not, perhaps, it won't be good to your reputation if people hears it" Emma said.
"But you told Ryan that he's father is here, so he'll be coming to this hospital" Alex said.
"Do not worry about that, you should both go" Emma said and I nodded.
"Let's go doctor" I said and we both left the office.
"Thank you Jasmine for everything" Alex said as we walked to the O.R.
"I'm happy the plan worked out, at least you'll stop blaming me for everything that happened and you'll stop avoiding me too" I said and he stopped to look at me.
"I didn't avoid you because I blamed you, I've never blamed you Jasmine, not even once" he said.
"Why did you avoid me then?"
"Cause I..... I felt happy around you, when Ryan took the recorder, I am supposed to be angry and resentful and thinking of a way to get it back before he ruins my career but whenever I'm with you, am not angry but happy and I don't think of way to get it back but I just want to forget it all. When I am with you, I'm okay with the fact that Ryan has the recorder, I'm okay with the fact that he can ruin my carrier any minute, as long you are with me, anything can happen and I'll be okay with it. I didn't like that feeling and that's why I started avoiding you cause even when I didn't want to be happy, being with you made me happy." Alex said and I just continued to stare at him while my heart beats faster.
What's this feeling I am having now?
