Having finished eating pancakes and drinking tea, Phoebe went straight to Travis's study which led her through a long hallway that led to a wide white door. the woman seemed hesitant to open the door, afraid that her master would do something she didn't want.
'Oh my God, I hope he doesn't check on me,' she thought then pushed the unlocked door open.
Phoebe entered Travis's office, which had a clean white nuance interspersed with metallic colors, looked so spacious equipped with various medical equipment located in glass cabinets, then there were many posters with pictures of pregnant women and babies.
"Hey, why are you just standing there? Come here...."
Travis looked at Phoebe who was standing in the doorway, looking confused but instead made him smile with glee. The man sat in a metallic chair with his arms resting on the white table in front of him.
feeling awkward and anxious, Phoebe walked over to Travis at a slow pace and looked down slightly.
'What is he going to do to me? Why does he always make me feel insecure?' Phoebe thought as she stood across from Travis.
"Sit down, we're going to be here long enough. There's no way you'll be standing all the time," Travis said casually.
Phoebe sat up immediately, not daring to look at Travis who was looking at her so seriously.
"Do you have a history of serious illness or minor illness recently?" asked Travis.
"Eh... no," Phoebe replied nervously.
"But you said earlier that you have frequent headaches due to low blood pressure. That means you are unwell."
"Ehh, yes but it's not too bad..it's just a mild pain and will heal over time and I adjust my diet," said Phoebe with a reassuring look.
Travis nodded his head, then shifted his back to the chair. "Diet must be maintained because prevention is better than cure. Don't let you get sick because now you are far from your husband."
Phoebe just nodded.
"When was the last time you had your health checked?" asked Travis.
"Uhh..." Phoebe was confused because if she got the wrong answer Travis would check it out. "I can't remember when it was. But there's nothing to worry about so I don't have to do an examination."
"But you have to check your health at least once a month..you have to make sure there are no viruses that stick in your body or maybe you have excess blood or lack of blood ... You have to make sure of that. make sure that no serious disease grows in your body because the disease can come at any time without us knowing it," said Travis casually looking at Phoebe who looked nervous somehow that behavior made him feel that she was a good woman, and would not hurt her husband. "Are you afraid of needles?" he asked nonchalantly.
"Huh... needles?" Phoebe frowned.
"Yeah... needles."
"I'm a bit scared….that's why I rarely do blood tests or anything," explained Phoebe nervously, then lowered her head. 'What does he want? Why is there this kind of chatter because he doesn't know I'm pregnant,' she thought?
"That means the doctor who injected you wasn't very good at it, so you're in pain," Travis said as he stood up, then walked over to the cupboard and took out a syringe that was still in its original package. He turned back to his chair and said, "If you don't mind, I can give you an injection and then take some of your blood so I can take you to the hospital tomorrow for a lab test."
"Dr. Travis, that's not necessary," said Phoebe pleadingly.
"But you're complaining of dizziness... I'm afraid you have something on your head... I'm afraid it's not just low blood pressure or high blood pressure or cholesterol... You need to be checked," Travis exclaimed seriously.
"But I feel I have no disease and the last time I did the test also I had no problems at all with my body ... On my health ..you don't have to bother doing this to me because here I only serve as a maid, I don't want to be your patient and please respect my privacy," Phoebe said rather firmly then said, "I don't think this kind of thing is important we talk about because of this at all. unrelated to my work here. I'd better go back to my room because I want to rest."
"Hey, why are you so angry?" asked Travis.
"I am not angry ....but I don't like being checked... I don't like people doing things I don't like... I'm just a maid here but that doesn't mean you can control me outside of work," explained Phoebe angrily.
Seeing Phoebe being so serious and almost angry, Travis chuckled in his low voice instead.
"Why are you laughing ...?"
"Phoebe, you take me so seriously. It was just a joke," Travis explained with a smile and set the syringe on the table. "I will never check on a person if that person doesn't agree. I won't do anything to you... It was just a joke so you don't have to worry. I won't inject you," he continued, laughing again.
Phoebe glanced at Travis in horror, annoyed that she had been scared to death.
"Then what exactly is the purpose of you asking me to come here?" she asked a little annoyed.
"I just wanted to tell you about your salary here," Travis replied then pulled out a drawer on his desk and took out a document. he handed the document to Phoebe saying, "I have signed here the agreement that I agree to pay you 5000 dollars every month. You have to sign if you agree with the salary I give you."
"Oh, that's quite a lot when I don't work much here," said Phoebe hesitantly, reading the contents of the document.
"It doesn't matter. That's the salary I've been setting for a long time," Travis said then pulled out another drawer and took a tablet of some kind of medicine. "You said you need vitamins. I think this vitamin is for you," he continued, handing Phoebe the vitamin tablet.
Phoebe frowned, taking a vitamin tablet consisting of 10 pills. she didn't expect Travis to even give her vitamins.
"Eh...You can cut my salary next month to pay for this vitamin," she said.
"That's completely unnecessary because vitamins are very cheap and I usually give them free to my pregnant patients," Travis said casually. ."Even if you're not pregnant, you can take those vitamins," he continued.
"Thank you... This will be of great help to me."
Travis smiled with relief.
"Then can I go back to my room?" Phoebe asked.
"Yes….please come back because you have to rest," Travis replied then stood up. "I have to rest too."
Phoebe immediately got up, then walked out of the room with the document and one vitamin tablet earlier. she walked in with a strange feeling of coincidence that had happened to her. Right now she is pregnant and it turns out that she works at the obstetrician's house and gets special vitamins for pregnant women ... Oh, maybe she could be said to be luckier if she had a husband there too.
"Don't daydream," Travis shouted.
Phoebe turned to Travis who was now walking alongside her. she let out a shaky breath, feeling a little annoyed but also relieved that the doctor had always paid so much attention to her and that it stop him from thinking about John all the time.
