"Officer...." He called out to him.
" Yeah, Mr. Leblanc." He responded.
"Walk with me." Al gestured for the to talk outside.
"Do you think the test will take longer than expected?" Al asked the officer.
"Not at all. Am sure they will be done by the time you get back." He said.
"First of all I appreciate what you did today," Al mumbled.
"Was just doing my job." He said.
"I hope Austin talked to you." Al enquired.
"Yes, he did Mr.Leblanc. As long as she's going to be fine we will keep this between us." The officer said.
"Yeah, my assistant will pass by your office tomorrow," Al said.
"That will not be needed, Mr.Leblanc." He said.
"Just to say thank you to you and your team." Al insisted.
"Okay, Mr.Leblanc." He gave in.
"Before you go, do you mind telling me what she said happened?" Al enquired.
"Sorry, Mr. Leblanc but I can't disclose that." He said.
"Okay, I will ask the doctor about that," Al mumbled.
"I think it will be better if you ask her yourself because am very sure the doctor can't disclose that info to you either." The officer explained.
"Okay, officer Mark, I appreciate your confidentiality. Al said as he made his way into the hospital.
He stopped when passed by three female nurses.
The blonde one looked at him as if she would eat him alive if given a chance to.
" Have you seen the great Alaric Leblanc?" The tall nurse asked.
"Yeah, OMG he looks so yummy in person. No wonder he has girls drooling all over him where ever he goes." The blonde one said.
"Am sure you will be his victim with the way you are talking of him." The dark-haired one said referring to the blonde one.
"I won't mind being his victim as long as a get to have him." The blonde one licked her lips.
"What is he doing at the hospital.?" The dark-haired one asked.
"He's here with a lady." The tall one replied.
"Really?" The blonde one asked.
"Wasn't he the one who knocked down a lady some weeks ago?"
"Yeah, it was him and it's the same lady he was with that day that he brought today."
"I think something is going on between them."
"Something fishy indeed."
"What if there are married."
"Alaric Leblanc married.? I won't believe that even if God told me himself."
"Why would you think he's married.?"
"Cause the girl doesn't look like the type that he will get an opportunity to screw for fun. So if something is going on between them it will be marriage."
"You don't know these days what girls will do for money."
"Hmm....hmmm...hmm" Someone cleared the troat.
"Don't you think it's against health policy to gossip against your patients.?" Their supervisor talked from behind them.
"Sorry." They said unanimously.
"The next time I see you like this I will make sure the head gets this. Now, will you get to your posts?" He ordered and they all ran in different directions.
As the blonde one was walking she stumbled upon something. As she was about to fall Al caught her.
"Careful beauty. I don't want you falling and fracturing a bone." Al whispered as he gazed into her eyes and helped her to her feet.
"Hm...mmm" She cleared her throat.
"Do you always have to make all the girls fall just to use this line?" She asked him.
"So you stumbled upon my foot." He raised an eyebrow.
"Yes of course, how else would I have fallen?" She questioned.
"So may I know your name?" Al asked.
"Am Melissa." She replied.
"Nice to meet you, Melissa." He smiled.
"I guess you overheard our conversation." She pointed.
"Always nice to meet a fun," Al said.
"We are sorry. We are usually not like that." She apologized.
"You are not apologizing for what you said are you.?" Al questioned.
"I don't apologize for speaking the truth. Am just doing it for what how I said it." Melissa said.
"Since you are owing me an apology I guess you will have to do something to make it up to me." Al smiled.
"Don't worry Mr. Leblanc I will certainly make it up to you. But this is neither the place nor the time." Melissa whispered.
"I have to go now, and am sure you have to do the same," Melissa said as she walked closer to him slipped her hands into his pocket for his wallet,d took one of his business cards, will call you when am ready to pay you and that will be all." She placed the wallet back, kissed him lightly on his lip, and walked away.
