Girlfriend what do you intend wearing since you spend most of your time in the hospital and we couldn't go shopping Evelyn was saying when we enter my room, sitting on my bed she looked at me standing in front of the dressing mirror checking my face for the spots remnant. Thankfully the spots on my face is almost gone I pray it goes away completely before evening because I do not want to wear makeup , have never been a fan of it, they make my face hitch each time I do.
Mina are you listening to me, yes dear, it just family and friends dinner not something big, I have a lot of dinner gowns, Evelyn roll her eyes at me, dinner gowns or office gowns she laughed. On a more serious note let's check your wardrobe for something nice and if we don't see any am here to improvise for you dear. She started rummaging my closet throwing clothes here and there.
And by the way madam how do you end up in the hospital with an allergic reaction, Mee allergy reaction of all things, have always told you to watch what you eat, read snacks labels before digging into them. Seriously I don't know, I have taught about it but no conclusion about the rashes there was no Aster among the dinner flowers I got from the florist and I didn't eat peanuts too, at least not that you remember because if you do not there's no way you'd land in the hospital.
Just make sure you are more careful, next time you might not be lucky to be treated by an over zealous doctor, talking about the doctor, I think he likes you, Evelyn was smiling now, someone is about to get laid, will you stop it he's just my doctor nothing more, why would he like me, we have only met two times and that for purely his services as a doctor.
Dhorr!, Evelyn reply stucking out her tongue, and what about love at first sight, my dear it does not matter how many times you have met okay, love happens, I think this gown will do, she said raising up a wine colored gown, my aunt bought it for me last year as new years gift have never wear it. Hun if you say so, yes I say so it simple and cute, thank God we are off the doctor's talk.
Put it on let me see, why do I need to put it on, you said is nice, yes but you have to put it on and we see if it's good enough, I collect the gown and reluctantly put it on, I don't need to ask how I look judging from Evelyn's expression, omg Mee this is nice, the gown is made for you. The gown is so simple itself but your body brought out it beauty.
I relax thank God we found something because if we do not I can't imagine how much Evelyn will stress me into finding one, now girl let gets you a nice heel and jewelries to match it and purse too. Haaaa I face palm myself, but I can just put on any shoe and my usual necklace will do I said touching my necklace. It my mother's, have always wear it ever since her death to keep her memory close to me.
No anything will not do, we have to make you look good, a knock on the door distracted us, come in I reply, Miss how are you feeling now, I wanted to come check you at the hospital but I have a lot to do in the kitchen due to the dinner, it okay Alice you have to do your work. No Miss as much as being a cook is my duty here so is taking care of you.
Your mother entrusted you to me at her death bed, you are more like my daughter I finish the line for her I can say it by heart now since Alice always say that any time am sick or I tell her she worries too much about me. Am better now thank you, do you need me to get you and Evelyn something to eat, hmm am okay, but then my stomach failed me by grumbling.
You are definitely hungry let me get you some cookies and tea, and you Evelyn, yes Alice me too am quite farmish, okay I will be right back. Not too long Alice came in with cookies and tea for us. Evelyn didn't wait to dig in, aren't these the cookies you gave me this morning.
Yes it the same one, it really nice I love it, taking the cookies am about to take a bite when Alice said, it late already why don't you freshen up and get prepared for the dinner after your brunch Alice inform us of the time, looking at the clock I dash to the bathroom dropping the cookies. I wanted to soak myself into some oils to hasten my skin clearing up from the rashes and that will take time so no time for cookies eating.
Still in the bathroom I heard Evelyn calling to me, Mee have eaten your cookies with my mine, what!? why will you eat mine when you are given yours, Mee you have no ounce of hospitality am a visitor remember and besides the cookies is really delicious I keep wanting more. Call for Alice to get you more then I told her, really ? She ask, of cause go on and call her. I can hear her rush out of the room looking for Alice.
I stepped into the room in my bath robe, I look at the empty big bowl of cookies in front of Evelyn throwing the last one in her mouth, why are you with this big bowl in the first place and why is it empty. Well I did not see Alice so I help myself to the kitchen and I found the bowl in the fridge so here I am.
I can't stop laughing, Elizabeth bought that cookies for everyone and you finish it she's going to skin you alive, hello she bought it for eating, she should be thanking me for eating it. So the cookies is so delicious that you couldn't leave any for me. Okay enough about cookies I simply don't feel like leaving any for you.
It time to dress up, she drag me to the dresser, let's make you up, but I don't want to make up, you sure do, the spots are not all gone, I look into the mirror, urg I should have soak myself in the oils a little bit earlier. After she's done with my makeup, she started combing my hair to style it into a high bun leaving a wavy lock at the front. I look myself in the mirror and didn't recognize me.
Alice came in to inform us that the guest are arriving, Alice please inform Lawrence to go and pick up my guest, he will understand I have discuss with him earlier, okay Miss. Now dear it time for the cloth, Evelyn help me to wear the gown, I put on my shoe and lastly my purse.
Are you not going to change I ask Evelyn, silly you of cause I am going to but I have to dress you up first this night means a lot to you more than anyone, make sure you impress them and let them know you are up to the task if you are given a chance to prove yourself more and remind them of your achievements in the company ever since you joined, okay, okay ma, I reply giving her a hug, thanks Evelyn.
You don't need to you know am your guardian angel, I know, now go on and receive the share holders at the entrance and ofcox you receive your man too, shut up Evelyn he's just my doctor, hm doctor indeed, go now and let me dress up she practically chase me out of the room.
With a steady step I walk to the entrance to receive the guest, I saw my Dad obviously here to do the same, and what are you doing here young lady, he ask me, what do you think dad, to receive the guest with you, won't that be nice, he nod his head without saying anything.
Look who is here it Mr wilson, I said hugging him and pecking his left and right cheek, you are welcome, I heard of your trip to California I didn't know you are back in town, I would have call on you, I said flattering him. Yes my dear I came back not long ago, you are welcome once again and how was your trip.
Awesome thank you, please go in and I hope you enjoy your night, thank you. Mr Wilson hug my Dad before going in, I must say you have a capable daughter Bernard you are a lucky one, thank you he replied.
Oh if not Mr Lucas, I said hurrying to welcome him, hugging and pecking him, you are welcome Mr Lucas, I heard of the deal you sign on behalf of the company, congratulations, thank you manager Mina, and you look great in that suit, thank you, please go in. My dad also hug him to welcome him, you seem to have a current daughter Bernard. Thank you Lucas.
Good evening Mr Robins, welcome, good evening Mina, how are you, am fine dear, I heard you are retiring and transferring all your shares to your son, you are making a great decision Robins your son is really competent. Thank you Mina, it nice working with you and your father, my son will now take over from me, Mina how about you meet him for lunch and you can talk business and if God have it some other things you know you never can tell. I wouldn't want more of daughter in-law if I have you.
Thanks Robins and the lunch I would love to go, good once he's back from his business trip I will arrange for that, thank you, please go in. Robins and my father go a long way, I see them hugging each other more intimately. Bernard you are so lucky to have a capable daughter who is so immersed in your business, she's not like the others that all they know is doll up and down, spend your money, and behalf irrationally.
And Bernard I heard you want to make her step aside for her sister, if I may ask why is that, as a good friend am telling you that this is a wrong decision, Robins how about we discuss this later, better because I won't have you do that to that to a hardworking girl, he said going in a little bit angry.
Whoah, finally am getting some results, thank you old Robins. We welcome all other guests including the Daniels, my uncles and aunts and some of Elizabeth friends. Let's go in Mina that's the last of the guest my father said. I will join you I need some fresh air.
Left all alone I waited for the doctor, I didn't stay too long when Lawrence drove in. A long pair of leg with an exquisite shoe stepped out of the car in a nice looking amarni suite, wow I said uncontrollably looking at the doctor he seemed to be a different man from the one who wears the white coat.
He opens his mouth staring at me with a wide eyes. He seems to want to say something with his mouth opened but words didn't come out. He's staring at me as much as I am staring at him.
Words failed me Miss Bernard but I must say, You have just taken my breath away for the first time in my entire life he said striding fast towards me with my heart acting up by beating very very fast.
